[TR] Nexen Tires

[Graham Stretch]

Hi Bob
I just fitted some Nexans to my BMW work car, seem good didn't need huge 
amounts of weights as some cheaper tyres do. Cant tell you how they will 
last but they do seem to grip both wet and dry.  Someone says about the wear 
rating, that is ok but I had a 2500 S Saloon that came with Firestone 
(F550?) tyres and I could spin the wheels at every start in the dry with 
only moderate throttle, so long wear aint everything! Those Firestones were 
truly road resistant tyres, threw them away as I couldn't wear them out!

Graham.
