I'm on the verge of ordering a set of rims and as a wheel/tire package the NEXEN N3000 tires come with it (i had to call to find that out), there is no option of tire. I've heard nothing bad about them just seeing if any of you have. The rims are 17's, 42mm offset and the tires are 205/40/R17. Any feedback is appreciated.

You posted in the wrong section. Your topic will be moved

But they are cheap tires and are ok for regular daily driving. Do not expect to be able to "push" them and get any performance. I know this first hand as a friend had them on his car. He was not happy with the tire but was happy with the price tag.

I have those on my 16" 205-45-16. The tread looks pretty dam good but i had couple incidents when i skid. Once when i hit a turn hella hard and hit the brakes. Maybe i was going too fast (45mph- 90* turn) hahah.
Other than that they gripped pretty good with my setup.

overall, good for the price.

I have them on my car and they are good value for the money. I actually like the grip of them better than my previous Kuhmo 712s.
