Nexen sur4g - results?
 
How are the new nexen sur4g doing in AutoX competition in the US?

Currently shopping for next years tire, running re71 this year but open to try something different.

Subbed. Heard the SUR4 had some flaws and Nexen came back and addressed most of them with the SUR4G. Interested to read more.

Check out the DS thread - I posted some videos of my car on the Nexens. I think they are right there with the BFG and Bridgestone, or at least within sniffing distance. They require more pressure up front to avoid rollover, but tolerate heat very well. Quiet on the street if you want to daily drive them.

I've heard similar good things. They require more pressure and like the heat just like the Rivals but are way cheaper than Rivals.

Meh. If they were quick everyone would be on them by now

<- Not going on them

My gut feeling says the Nexen is just a bit slower than the other two. I base this fact that even though I had a glorious victory in DS, I only paxed 15th. How can that be possible, given my alien like driving!

I think you'll see a larger delta on Concrete than Asphalt, and no one has really been able to show that yet at National events.

(Except for Toledo...that was kind of combined with a course that didn't favor line choice or reward you in any way)

I know they don't like to be pinched. We were running a 225 on a 7" rim. The Nexens runs super wide, so the 225 actually looks pinched on a 7", compared to the 225 BFG which looks square.


I think results may be better for Nexen with cars with camber running enough rim width. Our fronts took a beating after 32 runs in a weekend.
