what's anyones opinion on neo gen tires? from a scale from 1-10(1 being terrible-10 being best tires ever made)? thanks.

 

haven't heard alot about them but read some reviews...alot of people say the side walls are that strong...i'd give it a 6 maybe...

 

You might get more answers in the correct forum.

Wheel & tire forum:
https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum/56

Post there, you'll probably get more answers.

EDIT:
PS: Might wanna also search around - reviews are practically everywhere for tires.

 

thanx syndacate, i was just thinkin of that when i hit the submit button. i was happier to find it in the wheel and tires forum, thanx

 

one you live in the south. why would you want an all season tire. number two the tire was designed in mind for people you have bad camber wear so the there tires would last longer. number three it is an all season tire. if that is what you need then i would buy the kumho asx instead. it is much better all around then the neo gen. if you don't need an all season tire then you may want to consider the kumho spt instead which is more of a summer tire and would give you that extra grip on dry pavement and still decent in the rain.. if i had to grade it up against other tire's it would be a 3

 

wow! like that opinion, a 3. i need an all season tire, louisiana and the south are different. state moto is "like the weather, don't worry, it will change in an hour". it's been nothing but rain, dew, sleek, and just cold since i came back from the christmas break. keep them coming guys.

 

Obviously, you don't understand what "all-season tires" are. Many people mistakenly think that all-season tires are designed for rain. So learn:

Summer tires are tires designed to be used in moderate to warm temperatures - basically, anywhere from roughly 25-30 degrees F on up to 100 degrees F. They are designed for the maximum grip on dry pavement AND ON WET PAVEMENT at these temperatures.

All-season tires (like the Nitto NeoGen) are "compromise tires" designed to be used on snow and in frigid (zero and below) temperatures as well as in moderate to warm temperatures. On snow and in frigid cold, they are better than summer tires, but not as good as winter tires. Whenever it's above freezing, all-season tires offer much WORSE performance than summer tires, in rain and dew as well as dry conditions.

You live in Baton Rouge, where the normal low temperature in the middle of winter is 40 degrees F. In your climate, summer tires will give you MUCH better traction than all-season tires, all year round. Unless you drive up to Minneapolis and Chicago to spend your winters, you will be MUCH better off with summer tires than with all-season tires.

What kind of car is this for (year, model, version)? And what size wheels do you have?

 

it's for a 93 civic, 17" tires. i'm not lookin for performance tires really, just something that will last and give me grip for the daily drives. it's not no 40 degree now, it's like low 30s, and suppose to get in the 20s. but i know what your saying.

I strongly recommend the Kumho Ecsta SPT, size 205/40-17, $60/tire at the Tire Rack. Very good dry traction, awesome in rain, should last a long time (typically 30-45K miles), and the price is unbelievably cheap for a tire this good. It will give you WAY better performance than the NeoGen.

Yes, our weather this week is colder than normal, too. Tomorrow we're supposed to have a high of zero and a low of twelve below, both of which are thirty degrees below normal.
