Nexen N6000

[arronm]

How would the Achilles compare to the nexons? Im thinking of buying some tyres off ebay. Any one done this before? I found fedderal 595 245/40 for about 180 delivered each. That seems pretty cheap. Any opinions on fedderal?

Remember it will cost $20 each for fitting and balancing. What price for the achilles at tech9. Maybe just go the nexen. I think the 595 are good. It doesnt matter what tyre I have on they last less than 5000ks

I have 4x maxxis MA-V1's on now. They seem like a good tyre, Just haven't worn evenly. There directional tyres so I guess I will have to have a look see if I can get away with getting 2 for now.

The only reason I consider the Federals is cause there so expensive in shops so for the same price as buying new nexons I could have better tyres buying from ebay.

The plan is I just need decent enough grip for now with the car being stock. In about 6 months time if all goes to plan im getting a tune and a few more mods so then I will invest in some good wide tyres. Thinking 275's will be enough.

Dam haha. What ever you do for work get me a job haha Look forward to seeing your f6 on a cruise if you go to many events in W.A?

Anything you get will be better than the MA-V1 - they feather like crazy. I bought 4 x 275/30/20 achilles for $880 delivered to my door. Dont forget you need min 9.5 inch rim for a 275

I think you need a load rating of at least 93 for these cars,in case you have a stack for insurance sake..

[Guest XR09]

Yes 93. I had the 5000's on and they got pretty noisy when half way worn. KU31's are down to the depth indicator and still sound the same.

[LazyBrennan]

So if I got those Kumos I wouldn't be covered by insurance cause there only 92?

I like the look of the federals only thing is that photo makes them look like they have nothing on the side of the tyres.

[Guest XR09]

Who told you that ??

Kumho KU31 Ecsta SPT. 275 x ZR19 x 30 96Y.

Kumho KU31 Ecsta SPT. 245 x ZR19 x 35 93Y

That's what is written on the side of mine. Sa fact.

There only a Load Rating: 92 (630kg/tyre)

Doesn't it have to be 93 or more?
