[TR] Nexen tires for a TR3A

[Kinderlehrer]

Thanks. I was offered other brands, like American Tire and BF Goodrich, but at more than twice the price. These are $80/tire, which is really inexpensive - if it's a decent tire. I've seen the Vredesteins on Coker for $120, but I  prefer to buy the tires from the installer.

I have Vredesteins on the TR3, excellent handling.  Also, Firestone has this size too, Coker may have this in their Michelin X tire, I know they have 155 but not sure about 165.  

As for rubbing with wider tires, someone else needs to comment, I have run 165 width on 6” minilites with great results, more rubber on the ground and no rubbing.  

Just my thoughts,

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
