[TR] Nexen tires for a TR3A

[CFM-TR]

Have the Nexen's; replaced 10 year old Dunlops (because of sidewall
cracking) about 3 years ago.  Very similar tread design.  Don't run many
miles so can't tell you about longevity.  Minimal lead to balance tires.  In
fact, one didn't require any.  I don't know if I believe it but the old guy
that did the balancing said that many times it is the wheel (either wire or
steel or even mag repro's) that cause the balancing problems.  Many times
you can move the tire on the wheel 1/8 or 1/4 turn at a time and eliminate
the issue.

Subject: [TR] Nexen tires for a TR3A

Anyone have any experience with the Nexen tire (SB802)? There are very few
tire stores around here that can still mount a tire on a wire wheel and the
only tire they seem to be able to get in a 165/80-15 is the Nexen. If I go
with a wider tire, will I have a problem with rubbing and will the steering
be even harder? 

Thanks,
Bob
