Anyone heard Nexen tyre before?

I think InitialM is using Nexen on his E39. if i remember correctly, he told me it's a price-performance value for him as well.

Bro,

Depend on your rims width. I was told for 225 tires minimum is on 8.0" wheel width.

what does rim width got to do with rolling diameter...

anyway, i have used both the size.. 225 and 235.. and 225 is understeering.. and the right size for this car i would think is 235.

 

[dzuljazz2001]

dear all, need your advice on the subject above. Thank in advance.

:listen: no issue if you are city driver most times...can use with no problem. unless u are into robek and cucuking....235 would be the right choice:listen:

225 tyres means shoulder width is 225mm=9 in effectively. so it will fit. In a Practical world, always plus 10-15mm more on tyre against rims. looks better and better ride.
