Nexen N3000

[shashivr4]

Does anyone have any good or bad experience with Nexen N3000s? I need a set of 235/35/19s and am thinking about purchasing these versus going back with Nitto 555s. I can purchase a set of Nexen N3000s for $620 or Nitto 555s for $1000.

What do you guys think? Any opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

They're decent tires. Good grip, but they don't have a high tread life (280) and don't take kindly to cold weather, or anything to do with snow.

I have a set. Got them used, without much issue as far as road noise or anything. Great grip. Go for it.

Nexen's sidewalls are too thick in 235/35/19's for our G's, Emerson_88 had purchased those tires in that size and he rubbed pretty bad on the strut assembly. Go for 225/35/19's if your choosing Nexen's...

I am running them now and the ride is rice and smooth. They are beefier than some other tires. I was running toyo proxy-4 in a 235/35-19 and had no rubbing problems, but with the nexens in the same size I rub now sometimes.

when i had 19's the stock struts were literally leaning on the tires. i say go with a smaller size like Ivory said

[IVORY_G]

Yeah if you have coilovers, that would be the only way to use that brand & tire size with our G's.

Just be cautious when its raining Ive hydroplaned a few times already dry grip is pretty decent

[Blue8g]

I wouldn't buy them.

[shashivr4]

Would I have any problems running 225/35/19s? Would they fit properly on a rim thats meant to have 235/35/19s?

Also, where do the 235s rub?

[njjfudge]

Rubbing also depends on the specs of ur wheels too. Mine are +32 if it were a little higher I would be ok.

[Skyforger]

I don't like the idea of a stretched sidewall. What's the width of the rims? And yes, the offset makes a big difference as well.

This!

It really depends on the tire and offset. For reference I'm on 225/35/20 Falken's and I have no rubs except on front fender-liner when locking steering wheel, also the G is dropped on Tein S-Techs/Gr-2's.

[shashivr4]

I have Konig Tantrums but not sure how wide they are or the offset...will try to find out.

Thanks!

Do the 235/35/19 Nexen rub on the front or rear of vehicle?

Thanks!

[oakrdrs187]

Its gonna depend on the wheels. You may be able to modify were it rubs, that's if it does.

Thanks!

With the specs of my wheels and the toyo's (235/35-19) I had to roll the rear fenders and take out the front fender lining to stop the rubbing. With the nexen 235/35-19) the rear is still fine, but in the front I get rubbing on the inside sometimes when I turn the wheels full-lock. I also get rubbing now on the front outside of the tire if a take a curve to fast, but this is getting that corrected by rolling the front fenders.

How wide is your wheel? If its 8"-8.5" wide 225's are meant to fit still with minimal stretch. The 235's rubbed on the front strut itself. Like others said offset plays a factor too. The wheels that Emerson had were between a +40 to +45 offset...
