Just change my stock Nexen CP643A tyre at Quick Save which i use since Dec 2013. The mileage is about 29K (tyre not totally botak, can go few thousand miles more but better safe than sorry). I choose Nexen N8000 because of the good reviews. The thing is three of the tyre given is dated year 2013 (week 20) while one is year 2015. I covered 29K in about 2 years 4 months. So by my rough calculation, i estimated this tyre might last me at least 3 to 3½ years. So by then the tyre will be 6½ years old. Is that dangerous? They gave 5 years warranty. It will be troublesome to always change only three tyre and next is only one tyre. Treadwear for the new tyre is 280. What is treadwear of the stock Nexen?

NEXEN SU1 more popular now

I've tested and used a lot of tires especially ultra performance.

The manufacturing year if 2013 still oklah...just use until the reach the wear limit. No need to think too much bro.

Are you kidding me Nexen N8000 has good reviews? They're totally and utterly SHITTY fucking tyres. Shitty grip, shitty cornering, shitty comfort.

Even if it was given to me for free i would burn the shit out of them.

It's a good lasting tyre for regular driving not kaki lumba and speed fiend smile.gif

Hows this shop overall for alignment and balancing

I would say good in this aspect. But i had to wait more than 3 hours to have everything done. Also when i ask Leon the boss, can i get year 2016 tyre he said no but most probably i will get year 2015 tyre 3rd quarter. So i just take his word for it and also the shop has good reputation. Why i didn't expect of is it's up to the staff to choose the tyre so i guess he took the opportunity to dispose of the old tyre to me. The price is slightly lower than most tyre shop in Klang Valley excluding those in Klang..
