Nitto NEOGENS?

[pro5utah]

Has anyone had any experiance with these tires? I noticed that they make them in a 205/50/16 and i was thinking about trying them out when my dunlops give up on me.

It's a fairly new tire, so there isn't going to be a whole lot of feedback out there. They have an interesting tread pattern, but that doesn't always guarantee it it be a better performing tire. I say go for it though, I think their price isn't too bad either.

I've been looking into purchasing a set too but there isn't really any info available yet and some places don't even have them to order. I cannot decide if I want to go with the Nitto NeoGens or the Yoko Parada Spec 2, the only difference that I've noticed so far is the tread wear (280 nitto, 300 yoko), the traction, temp and speed rating is the same.

i got a quote on them for 95.88 each with all of the free rotations etc. seems okay i just wonder how they would last. i don['t have a lot of cash floating around so i'd hoppe that they'd last awhile....
is the yoko an all season? i know that is normally a joke but it helps till you switch to your full snow tires here in utah. all seasons just can't hack it when you get lots of snow falling.

Yeah us utah people definitely need snow tires I've heard the Parada's are really loud, and offer very little wet traction. I went with the Pirelli P7000

I've heard the wet traction isn't the best, but not too bad on the yoko's. I'm a bit more interested in the nitto's too b/c of the price difference if I purchase from shop. The price online is pretty comparable though. I'm just iffy about purchasing new products especially considering my luck with tires.

I have thes tires and they are AMAZING! (215/45/17) I bought them because it rains alot here in Florida, and these tires stick on the wet pavement. Extra yummy on dry. Other tires I have used in the past, like the Kuhmo 712's, spun like crazy when flooring it in wet weather from a stop, these just slip a little, and actually have heard screeching from the tires on wet pavement, then they just grab. I definitly recommend them.

thanks GotZoom. I have heard they are good from mags and stuff.

Yes, the Parada are loud, especially when they start to wear down a bit. It turns into a constant hum at moderate to high speeds. The wet traction on the Parada's has been said to be excellent, not sure how the rumor of them having poor wet traction has surfaced. Another suprising thing about the Neo Gen, is that Nitto claims that they are an All-Season Tire. They have mud and snow listed in there. Not sure how much grip they'll have, but it's still nice to see on them.

GOTZOOM, which tires do you have, the Nitto or Yoko, I think your talking about the nitto but just want to verify.

thanks

 

[GOTZOOM?]

yep yep NeoGen

 

[^tyrant^]

ok it looks like some of you have had these tires for some time now, are you still happy with them? the main thing im looking for is grip in rain, and dry of course.

[^tyrant^]

How do they work in the snow or ice? What is the sidewall stiffness like?
