Hi guys,

I am interested to change all my tyres but still considering Continental Max Contact 5 or Nexen N8000.

Anyone used or using these tyres? My donut size are 215/45/17. Need some kind inputs.


Also, it is advisable for me to use 215/50/17 for extra comfort?
No budget to downgrade the size, cos need to spend additional money and look less nice if 16 inch.



Thanks

atlantis v7 not good? how so? can you tell me please.i'm interested about tyres as well. i love v7 thread pattern, so was interested in it blush.gif

cannot say not good but mc5 is much comfort and less noise if compared
for me v7 rubber is very hard, i dislike the harshness especially on rough or patched road
replaced it with mc5 at 350 each and used for 3k mileage at the moment, so far so good

if you interested in v7, try ask in forte forum..there might be someone selling as it is stock tyre for forte as i last known
