I bought mine it October and they had just put a new set on. They seem ok. I had never heard of them. At this point I can't say anything bad or good about them.

When I bought my Boxster last April, the previous owner had put brand new Nexen N3000 tires on the rear ( 265/35RR18 ) and Fulda Carat Extremo tires on the front ( 225/40ZR18 ). I have put about 8000 miles on the car since then and I have been very pleased with these tires...

Hey Nick, 8000 miles. Thats very good, how much life/miles would you say you have left on the N3000's?

CJ,

Not sure. They still look pretty new. Next time I see bmuss I'll ask him to bring his tread depth tool and I'll see what they have left...

No can do, Nick, my Boxster friend! It can only be used on Porsche approved tires!

Oh... that's cold...

Have you de-winterized your car? I think you need a name for your car... How about Bambi?
