Nitto Neo Gen tire received second place overall with the editors commenting that the Nitto Neo Gen had basically tied with first place. Fifteen tires from several tire manufacturers were tested in nine categories, mainly focusing on dry handling and traction, wet handling and traction, and ride comfort. All tires in the test were sized 225/40R18. All tires were tested using an Audi A3 3.2 on a closed test course. This data was combined with results from independent tread-wear testing which evaluated tread wear up to 12,000 miles. The Nitto Neo Gen had a strong showing in all tests. The Neo Gen received a ranking of Very Good in both dry and wet braking and Good in both dry and wet handling and hydroplaning. The Neo Gen also received high marks for noise, ride comfort and rolling resistance, scoring Very Good for all categories. The Neo Gen was also one of the most affordable tires tested. Because of the Neo Gen's balance of dry and wet performance, and ride comfort, the editors recommended it as one of their top picks.

Pros: Very Good dry/wet braking
Cons: Good dry/wet handling
Vehicle: Audi A3
Mileage: 12000 km

I had Nitto NeoGen's on my Volvo s40 and I loved them. They kept tread for almost 2 years and were sticky on dry roads. Not bad in wet either.

Pros: sticky on dry roads, kept tread
Cons: not bad in wet
Vehicle: Volvo S40

They're not the best tires. But they're not the worst either. If you hit a pothole, bubbles will form. I have 33,000 miles on my F1's and a bubble has never formed on any of them. They wear relatively fast.

Pros: comfortable ride
Cons: wear relatively fast
Mileage: 53108 km

Each of our TRegs have these Goodyear Wrangler HP tires: the 06 v8's became "cupped on the inside" with nil tread-wear ( see this http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3316272 ), despite the dealer checking and rotating each 5k miles -- had to be replaced at 12k miles.

Cons: cupped on the inside, nil tread-wear
Mileage: 12000 km

Had the same thing happen at 1400 miles. GY replaced my tire for free because it had less than 1400 miles on it. They then sold me the tire protection plan....fast forward 15000 miles and I get 2 more bubbles.

Pros: tire replaced for free
Cons: pro-rate price was high
Mileage: 15000 km
