BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 12y 21d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 10/07/14 09:28 AM Author Share Posted 10/07/14 09:28 AM I gave the G6 a wash the other day and noticed that the rear tyres are now down to (well --- past) the wear marks so I got a couple of cheapies fitted.I went with the Nexen N'fura SU1 in the same size - 275x35x18. They have a tread wear rating of 300, speed rating ' W ' and have a higher load rating than the Toyo's so I've reset the trip thingy (B) to keep track of the k's I get out of them.The Toyo's only lasted 7614 km and at something like 400 bills 'each', if I get that out of these Nexen things that were 260 each, I'm winning.A bit of rain around atm so I have no idea if these will be any good going down A.I.R in a cupla weeks (if it's open) so we'll have to wait and seeHas anyone else used these?
