Need educated opinion....

I have Nexan N-3000s on my TA and love them. We are looking to get tires for the GFs Camaro.. She has stock 16x8 Camaro rims.. I want the sidewall to look normal on them. If the Nexan will look just as good as the Hancooks then I am getting them hands down. I like the Nexans tread pattern a LOT and the width is the same on both.

Input? Going to be ordering within the next two days. Ebay seller has 100% feedback. Give me any reason why you would NOT buy the Nexans off of Ebay.

The only reason I wouldn't get the Nexens is because they only have a 245/45/16, no 245/50/16s, at least with the N3000s.

How much of a difference in sidewall will there be between the 45 and the 50 on a 245?

Ahhh... I wouldn't assume that would make a noticeable difference.

Guess I will save 100$ and go with the Nexans.
Thanks for that info!

Uhh, yeah it would. A 24.6" tire would look pretty stupid on a 4th gen, IMO. That is what Nexen's site lists the tire height at. The speedo's gonna be off if you throw those on there.
