ok now ive got 2 different tyres on the back of my car ones a dunlop SP and the other is a nexen nx3000 does anyone know if the nx3000 is any good? mate rekons theyr pretty good for traction but I duno....reason being I need 2 change the dunlop as its gettin bald and wondering whether I should change them both while im at it...the nexen is still brand new.

Mate Dont get caught with two different tyres on the back, thwey do not have to match all round, but rears need to be same as does the fronts, you can have different tyres on the rear than on the fronts.

PS I have no idea what a nexxen is, it sounds cheap.

Just get a second one for the rear and test them yourself. If they suck, then send them to the god of smoke and get soem decent ones.

yeh ive already been pulled up and togs told me they both gotta b same on the back but they didnt do anything bout it so im jst waitin for the dunlop 2 become unroadworthy lol

yeh I dont think nexen is a great brand but they have heaps of tread on them so I dont really wana throw it away.

Then do what Zap suggests mate, you may waste a couple of hundred on a sh*t tyre, but it beats a fine, or worse still a kniock back from an insurance company if something bad should happen.

Scotty

ZAP your idea sounds pretty damn good....might have to give it a go! anyone know what these nx3000s cost? I didnt even put it on the car stupid insurance company did! cheap asses!

Mate are I to believe from the above post that an insurance company authorised an different tyre to what was fitted on the back of the vehicle and not make it match the other rear?

welll to be precise it was the panel beaters who replaced the tyre not the insurance company.

To hard and not worth the effort to fight it, put another Nexen on it.

PS I had a Dulop tyre shop put a dunlop on the back of a Military police car when the other tyre was a bridgstone, could have been the other way round. The end result was that they were an authorised dealer to fit military vehicles and made a Military police vehicle illegal and unroadworthy. Needless to ay when bought to their attention it was rectified.

Interesting theory is that a QLD/VIC only rule cos my other car has passed a rego inspection every year with different tyres on the front side to side. I've competed in motorsport events like this won my class and its never been raised by cams officials.

My XR6 was sold to me by the ford dealer with a dunlop on one rear & non name stuff on the other side.
