eye opener ppl..

a pure traction sports tire aint meant for wet .. so if u say a proxy slips on wet then it may be one of their dry tires.

On another note.....yuh brave to run Star Spec's on a daily car dude! 200 tread? Price or not....it's a great tyre though!

when yuh check meh to see meh filter, yuh could see meh tyres too :D

btw, 200 is far better than 160 :oops:

it's all a matter of of ur drivin habits and what what works for you..if you use d nexen and wasn't able to drift, burnout, brake efficiently over 80km/h on wet roads, corner, or whatever complaint u have...then use sumtin else..

Well mates , after alot of consideration, I went ahead & put on the Nexen tires as they were cheaper .....205/55/R15.

Let me tell you that these tires are super soft & quiet. I even went through alot of rain from Pt. Galeota to Glenco and no issues at all with hydroplaining.

The wheels don't shim at all (at least no yet) and I even confirmed that Walmart do sell these tires. I spoke to the salesman @ walmart on different brands & he told me the Nexens were one of their best selling tires.

Once again cheers & thank you.

^it depends what u looking for boss...i bought the dz101s an i find they hit the sweet spot for me wrt price, grip, treadwear, even noise

i had federals before and they were noisy like hell but better than the direzzas in terms of grip.....however, with more grip u get less treadwear (generally)....its all abt what u want
