The tire compound looks too soft, so if you want a lot of miles out of them. It's not the kind of tire you'd want to get.

IMO, get a set of Kuhmo 711's and be done with it. I bet those things could last you like 1.5 years+ if you rotate and balance them correctly.

well if you only need a daily tire, why not get somthing fairly cheap, yet last a while.. like the 711s that were mentioned.. i dont really have experience with lots of other brands, i just stick to the 712s, cuz i get them cheap.

sorry to go OT about other tires. i dont know much about the new nittos, but i have seen them in some mags, would like to get some sort of write-up if anyone has a set.

ES100 is an option for 16s, but the MX is not.

Azenis will raise your Final Drive, and probably rub like crazy depending on your suspension setup.

You mean Yoko ES100. Not to be confused with the Yoko AVS.

Hmm.. If these are the same or very similar to the XGT V4s that came stock on 99-00 Civic SI's in 195-55-15, these are the most over-priced biggest POS tires I have ever used. I hate these tires..

I like them, the name NeoGen is only lacking the letters Mu to be my username.
I need some tires to represent myself! nEoMuGen's in da House with NeoGen!

Anyway, if you are getting these tires, let me know, so I don't come near you next time when we drive around Seven Lakes.
Nitto..... Drag only.
