Anyone tested Nitto Neo Gen tyres?

[nd4ever]

Hey guys, well it's time for me to replace a new set of rubbers for my Altezza RS200 after some survey around. I'm currently have shortlisted few tyres like Bridgestone Potenza RE002 Adrenalin (but made in Indonesia or Thailand), Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2, F1 Directional 5 & Nitto Neo Gen as well.

I've friends using the Potenza RE002, F1 Asymmetric 2 & F1 Directional 5 but none of them heard of Nitto Neo Gen. Therefore, I got to ask anyone here who are currently running on this set of tyres so they can share some honest review on it. Price quoted to me was reasonable actually & fits within my budget for a new set of rubbers.

I've been quoted as the following:
215/45/17 : RM 420 each
225/45/17 : RM 480 each
* I was told that these tyres are made in Japan!

nitto is famous for drag tyre....the ballon drag tyre...


but for road course handling not sure.....maybe is average in term of sidewall stiffness...but i think can benefit from their compound??

when comes to tyres, you should tag sifu VR, sadly no tag function

Yes, the Neo Gen are made in Japan. Currently not much feedback as not many users. Either that or not many giving feedback. Their website mention good wet grip, but looking at the thread pattern, not sure aquaplane resistance is good or not, as design looks like Yoko Parada Spec 2. Not many straight line grooves.
I will still go for Asy2 as I have used before and love them. Give Bro. Izso a pm and see whether he serious in selling his Asy2 (215/45R17) as he wants to go comfort (50 series).....

Thanks bro VR2turbo for your kind reply. I've decided to give Nitto Neo Gen a try for my money this round of change. If it doesn't fits with my driving style, then next change will be going for Goodyear F1 Asym 2 already.

And give us some feedback.....

 

[Izso]

Yeah. Give feedback. I hate my Assy2 tyres. Maybe can do a direct swap.

Mine bought in June only!

My old set still on the Hyundai, and my daughter's boss who drives an Audi saw and mentioned to her, wah! you also using top GY tyres ah!.....hhahahhahhahaha

Nitto is one of the product that made in Toyo Factory in Japan.
But price a bit higher, and tread design very unique, mainly for performance.

You will regret if u buy RE002, price expensive, noisy and poor wet performance, only good in dry condition, and the worse thing is - U buy with Japan product, pay Japan price, but tyre made from Indo/Thai.

I rather buy either
a) Michelin PS3 - Silent, good wet performance and dry condition, price acceptable because MICHELIN.
b) Toyo T1Sport - Silent, good wet and dry performance, and made from Japan with reasonable price.

 

[KenDiriwan]

Hmm thought i saw neogen feedback somewhere else. Anyway more feedback are good ahahaha

Poor wet performance? First time I heard that. Care to elaborate more?

If not mistaken they are rated Traction A only. More over as mentioned not too many grooves for water channeling....
