I wouldn't spend a lot of time at high speeds with them but as far as a low resistance tire they work okay for acceleration they have no handling quality but front runners are not made for handling just steering and rolling

pretty much all highway, listen they worked for me that is all i can say, i think if your going to be driving a ton its better to get a better rated tire, but honest besides them always looking like they are flat i have had no issues with them, i have heard of a few people having blowouts and what not but they have been great to me

Buy the Mickey thompsons. The nexan is not load rated nor speed rated for you car. Don't look at the price of the tire. Look at the safety factor. I have been in the tire industry for a long time, it's really frustrating to know people will want to use a unsafe tire just to save a few bucks.

bad02ws6 i couldnt agree more with you, and 140 a tire i got these for 60 bucks each lol, listen all i can say is i had no issues with them, i do think its better to get a better rated tire, i dont wanna tell someone there a great tire and have someone blow one out doing 90 mph ,i never intended to drive my car that much just had to because a sold my dd at the start of spring, honest imo if your going to drive alot or its your dd i would stay away from a drag setup all together

Put 4 brand new on my E55. Within 2500 miles three of the 4 had side bubbles. When I called to get replacements they were extremely rude and said they needed proof. When I sent the photos they blamed the install. The company showed me the system the use to put tires on expensive wheels (the stock wheels are over 3500.00). It was definitely not the install. The install company honored me (Nexen pretty much told us to screw) The install company put on a different brand for just the difference in cost (less the 200.00 for all 4).
Needless to say.......don't walk, run away from these tires.

do not run cheap front runners!!!!!! get u some mickeys or something rated for a heavy car!! just my experience i had a set of nexan 185s on the front of my camaro on a brand new set of bogarts the 2 piece that has the front rim half welded on and made a left turn and the whole weld broke and i saw my front half of my rim rolling down the road!!!!!!!! called bogart and the first thing they asked was what tire was on it and when i told them they said u cannot run those they are for vw cars and they teld 2 roll the side walls when u turn putting all the weight on the wheel! switched to the mickeys and aint had a problem since!!!!!!!!!!! CHAEAPER AINT ALWAYS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
