Never heard of them but a quick look found this..

Nexen N3000

The Nexen N3000 tyre is the new breed of performance mid-level tyres. The life isn’t as good as a Michelin Pilot Sport for instance; however in all departments the Nexen N3000 delivers more than it costs. Value for money and a level of performance that dosent seem to match what the price would have you expect – brilliant. If you wanted to upgrade from the Nexen N3000 we would recommend a Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 or Michelin Pilot Sport 2.

Life: 3 out of 5

IMO go with whats recommended on here.. F1\'s or Toyo\'s

I\'ve got these Nexen N3000\'s on my FD (it came with them I might add)

All I can say is avoid them, you get what you pay for.  Going round the Nurburgring it was like dragging squealing pigs behind me, almost every corner they were squealing and in the wet, forget it!

Spend the money and live longer!

Can\'t fault Goodyear eagle F1\'s as a great allround tyre. There may be better tyres in the dry but when the rain comes down to catch you out you know they will still stick.

hmmm... i have got a good price on some.  but the coments dont sound so good.

Trouble is however good your car is set up brakes, suspension etc the only bit that touches the tarmac is that black round bit don\'t compromise! Better rubber will be much cheaper than your insurance excess.
