New Nexen tyres fitted

[Graybags]

Not bad. still quiet after about 8k, great in the wet and dry. Can feel a bit floaty compared to the sport maxx gt's. Fuel economy has gotton worse tho but its impossible to say if it's because of the Nexen tyres or the wheel alignment done at the same time as the tyres were changes, or it is something else.

FWIW, a mate with a heavily modified Focus XR5 (so lots more power & torque than any Octy around here) has recently fitted Nitto Invo & gave them a good review. It's his work car & he does about 50,000km a year. he's probably fitted about 5 different brands to it so far (Maragoni, Khumo, etc). Safety, ride comfort & noise are quite important to him.

Looks like a Toyo from the '80s

Geeze, we are on 50k and still heaps of tread with out Michelin PE2s that came on it, friends who live in the Dandenongs and do lots of corners are about 10k ahead of us and same result. I really wish we could still get them now, as even though they were expensive they seem to outperform everything around now.

My Pre-FL Octy RS Wagon fitted with PE2s from new, so far has done 63K, probably 1-1.5mm from the indicator. Should be replaced around 70K. Can't complain too much as I am driving 80% freeway, they were good Tyres both dry and wet.
