Default Nitto Neo Gen INPUT???

Guys/Gals,

Read somewhere here about Nitto Neo Gen Tires and wanted to know what you guys think about it. Any other tires that I may want to consider?

I have close to 80,000 miles on my 2005 stocked tires and I think it's time for new ones but dont want to spend too much.

Thanks in advance for all your inputs.

What kind of area are you in? Looking for all season? Summer only? Performance? Cheap?

Hmm...

Pirelli PZero Nero M+S
Continental ContiExtremeContact

Two that first come to mind. I've had the continentals and liked them. A little bit squishy for any real performance, but a good tire for driving around.

Just switched from stock yokos to nitto neo gens. For a DD, they stick pretty nicely. Plus they are relatively cheap...

Idk man I would stay away from tires that are more performance oriented because when the snow comes around it sux I know how it is I live in new rochelle (westchester) if anything consider goodyear eagle rs-a's or b-stone turanza el42's if you looking for a good all season I personally would go with a 215/55 for the stock wheel you want it a bit thicker especially for the potholes in the city also having bubble in your tire is not safe at all, I'm gonna choose one of those tires for the winter because there a strong all season and good in the snow I don't want to go full snow tire bc performance goes down, those tires hold up when you beat on them a bit not too expensive. Either

i have the neogen zr's. they dont last terribly long but then again, they do have 280 treadwear. way grippy for a relatively inexpensive tire. no complaints at all.

Had the neo gens on my 04 corolla S and they were great tires. Grip was good and they handled well in the rain also. They are good for cars with camber issues from being lowered. I'm looking at getting them on both tC's as soon as I can.
