[TR] Nexen tires for a TR3A

Fri May 31 14:30:15 MDT 2019

I think you can have those problems with any brand. I replaced the tires on
my daily driver and they couldn't get the vibration out, tried to tell me I
was the wheels and I should go back to Toyota, they had a good laugh. Made
them replace the tires, BF Goodrich if I remember correctly, and the problem
went away.

Moral of the story is don't buy Michelin tires. Actually just my personal
opinion, I've had them on new cars and could not wait until I could replace
them. I think they are overrated.

When recently buying a set of four Michelin Defender's for my truck, owned
since new and never wrecked or damaged, etc., there was a balancing issue
with the new Michelin Defender's. The usual weights were not achieving the
vibration free use the prior, worn down but smooth driving BFG tires had
demonstrated. 

Tireman of Maumee, Ohio (zero affiliation on my part except as a customer),
where I buy tires, the salesman said the wheel may be the culprit for my
vibration complaint on the brand new Michelin Defender's that had just been
installed and had been balanced but were vibrating enough at normal
expressway speed limits of 55-65 mph, I could feel it in the steering wheel
and it was really annoying. 

I returned in less than 8 miles. The Tireman salesman said Tireman had a
balancing option referred to as "Force Balancing" wherein they don't use the
usual weight's. For "Force Balancing" they use a different machine and move
the tire around the rim a very small amount several times until they find
the perfect balancing location of tire to wheel. This worked for me and an
hour later the truck is now as vibration free and smooth driving as it was
when new.

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
