i used nexen n3000's once, AA traction rating, this happened to me too, the cracking, but i hafta say, the traction was very good, i would say on par with the replacement kumho ecsta spt , I'm not saying the nexens on par with the kumhos, but the traction felt pretty good and similar to that of the kumhos

[rossi]

so how am I going to know the date of manufacture? cause I actually going to buy tyres on Sat.

[Nasrallah]

and it have people ratin up foreign used tires cuz dey too cheap to buy new ones

park up yuh car and take maxi yes

Saw this once in a friend's rim and tyre shop....Man gone an paid more than 12 grand for 20 inch rims then decided to buy used tyres

ppl look at me like I mad when I change my tyres every 2 years

Nun wrong with this we do the same with our vehicles.

[tr1ad]

[MG Man]

alas i fall prey to the used tyres as i cannot afford tyres costin me 3200 a set

new toyos for the corolla cost me about 425 a pop
Toyo Vimode for the HSR cost 400 a pop
Havent priced 16s for the mini yet but I reckon about 2500
thing is, say 4k for a set, over 24 months means if you put aside 200 a month, u can easily afford 4 good tyres every 2 years............

[MISHI]

I have some nexens on the lancer since 2006... no cracking but has a swell from tobago potholes...

The set on the evo had for about 2 years... no cracking either.

I DID have a set of nankang tyres (NS1) and had that problem... also noticed a similar crack on a khumo tyre on a tuscon recently was well.

[AllTrac]

Two years you saying!!!! You dont drive much dont you? What's your average distance of travel per day? I bought my car last feburary and i already changed my two front tyres twice already.

ouch lol

2 aspects never to be played with as far as safety goes and that is brakes and tyres
a couple of hundred dollars saved still cannot buy back life
having said that, i used what Mr. Bean uses, just a slightly higher end unit

fielders is real sheit yes

[ingalook]

Noticed the same thing with Nexens on a car parked in Subway Glencoe yesterday.........thing is, once a tyre is mounted on a rim, cracks in the sidewall are very hard to see...especially in the case of that car, where the crack was in the cusp of the rim guard

Damien I have 3 year old toyos on my car with nothing remotely resembling that kind of failure....and for me that's pushing it, cuz I dont keep a tyre on my car more than 2 years regardless of tred depth.....the mini was parked for a year so it got away from me, but still.............the HSR was parked on Goodyears for 5 years (those tyres were 3 years old when the car was laid up so that's 8 years total) and still, some dry rot but NOTHING like that............

Where yuh get toyo to buy?

[turbosingh]

^^^Check Mileage Mack in San Fernando next too Vimcott its a bit pricey but it does wok.Also the Dunlop DZ101 is a good choice.
