I recently bought an '02 GT convertible from a used car lot. The CarFax showed it had been in and out of dealerships and auctions for ten months. When I hit speeds over 60 or so, it feels like it's going to come apart. I've gone through all the usual suspects and several mechanics; we all agree the tires need to be replaced. The dealers and the like likely didn't keep the tires rotating in the lots and such so.... The current tires are Fuzion ZRi.

At any rate, I was looking at the Yokohama S Drive when the tire store suggested I consider the Nexen CP672. I want performance and the ability to drive the car normally, all without breaking the bank. I couldn't really nail down the Nexen tires; reviews are brief and few but seem ok.

Anyone have any suggestions either way...?

Sooo...no response, but I made up my mind on these - they Nexen CP672s are just not good enough for performance desirable driving. Too many complaints on the Yokohama S1 and the guys at the tire shop said the same. I ended up settling on Toyo T1 Sports for this tire change.

BTW, for anyone curious, the tires I'm dumping are Fuzion ZRi and I would not recommend those to anyone. Someone who owned the car before me put them on and they're terrible. Handling and drive quality are awful.

I haven't heard good things about the Nexen, the Toyo's are good, not sure about tread wear though.
