Nitto Neo Gen tiress, yeah or nahhh?

[PatrickJamesYu]

Sorry I tried searching this in our forum but I seem to never be able to find anything that I'm looking for in the search. Feels like it's broken sometimes hah

But the Neo Gens, anyone here use them?
They advertise them as an all season, camber friendly tire
Which sounds pretty darn attractive, especially for their prices.

Anyone here have first hand experience with these?
I'm more of a daily driver, spirited canyon highway weekends.
Mulholland Highway, Glendora Mountain Ridge.
Not ready for track yet.

I drive with about -2 degrees of camber in there rear, 0 in the front.
I'm in need of tires this month, and I'm really interested in these
But I would like to get some ephatch reviews on them

whats noise, tread wear, and traction like?

thanks guys.

pass.. they're decent tires but if the reason you want them is to wear properly on your camber then that's what they'll do. but then again, -2 degrees isn't that much. they're average in every other category. unless you're getting some crazy deal on them, id pass.

on another note, why run 0 degrees camber in the front? you should have at least a little negative camber for cornering stability. esp if you want to keep up in mulholland.

Umm... why more negative camber in the rear vs front? shouldn't it be the other way around to dial out the understeer?

also, save a little more to get some dedicated summers if it doesn't snow where you are. if it does - get two seperate sets ^_^

some summer recommendations...

dunlop direzza z1 star spec
yokohama s.drive
bridgestone potenza re760 sports

[socmex7]

to add to that list
hankook ventus v12
bfgoodrich g-force sports

best bang for buck, i'd say yokohama or hankook. best summer/wet tire, star specs. they are pricey but totally worth it

yeah I have 0 in the front right now because when I ordered my camber kit, they gave me a box with only one front camber bolt
I've been waiting about a month and a half for the other to come in..
But as of right now its 0 in the front.
once the fronts come in, I'd have them adjusted for what I want :D
Hopefully that will be early august.
Its been 5-6 weeks already

update: I ended up walking out with a set of Falken Azenis'
but thanks guys!

Also
This is probably a dumb question, but would a 205-55-15 work out on a 15x7 wheel?
I have them on a 15x6 right now
And I don't know much about stretch n poke and all that
any downfalls of stretch?

Im rockin a set of 205/40/17 neo gens and I love them. Grippy, great in rain if you ask me. and ride quality is well aswell. Keep the pressure on watch and there nice tires (not that im having any problems, i just check them at every fuel up) Got mine for $78 a peice... cant beat that price. Look good aswell.
