I have these in 275/40/17 on the front of my z for over a year now and I have been very happy with them. I live in FL, so they never see ice or snow, but they are great as front tires! Don't know if they would hook as rears, I have 315/30/18 yokohama's out back. Hope that helps!

Got them in an 18 inch on my TA/ No complaints out of me so far. Definetly a summer tire I would say though. Seems to be pretty decent in rainy conditions too.

I have them on all 4's. They are a good cheap tire. They are a summer tire so expect to get less than 20k on them. I paid $75 each. For the money they are perfect.

yeah i paid 79 plus shipping so it wasnt too bad...they seem like they would be good daily driver tires in the summer and would work ok for some redlight sprints...i heard though from my buddy that nexens dont burn very well, he told me that when he spins em they hardly ever leave a mark...might just be him but i dont want to say hes wrong since i never used em yet

Maybe its cause you had the wrong season air in. I hear winter are in tires during the summer is bad.

just got some off ebay, i needed 2 new rears, and being broke and for $130 for 275/40/17 i couldnt beat it. i have only 8 miles on the car since install though lol... but i like how they look, it was 30* outside when i took the car out last weekend (dont drive it in winter) they hooked ok but very easy to break them loose. it might have been the cold though, well see in the summer

I just got a set of 4 (275/40R/17), and they seem to be doing the job pretty well...I paid about 320 for all four (If you guys are getting 'em 75 bucks a piece, I just got ripped!), they're nice, but not as nice as my old Falkens.

they are great $75-90 tires, hands down, if you want high performance ya gotta spend the money...these do exceptionally well for their price!
