At last! Winter tyres that you can leave on all season.
Just fitted 4 NEXEN N-PRINZ 4S 215/60R17 96H tyres to my 2009 T31.
These tyres are the latest technology, and not to be confused with M&S tyres that are usually pretty unsatisfactory.
They are unidirectional & classed as all season, but have the SNOWFLAKE symbol, which means they are legal on european alpine roads in winter.
The tyres have been on for a few weeks, and I have covered about 1000 miles so far in RURAL SCOTLAND, on A roads, and rough uphill tracks, in mud, rain, and ice, with superb grip. (no snow yet) Road noise is absolutely minimal, and handling/ride quality is great, also no deterioration in fuel consumption - I think a slight improvement by about 1 mpg.
I purchased the 4 tyres on line from a UK retailer for £280.00 inclusive of vat & free delivery. Fitting & balancing cost £40.00 So a total £320.00 I think is damn good value?
So check them out!
The Nexen USA site has the best info page (look under high performance tyre)
The bad news is I don't think they come in 18''
