Nitto Neo Gen tyres.

Considering buying these when my Lionhart tyres are due for replacement. Anyone use and like them?

If you have been on Lionharts you will think the NeoGens are the greatest thing ever. They were fairly popular when they first came out--15 years ago or so. They have decent dry performance and good wet performance. Snow not so much. But they are no comparison to the current hot tires on the market. But for a budget choice they are better than the average Chinesium.

They're alright for daily driving, but not great for performance or snow.

My guess is that they will be at least slightly better handling/turn-in wise than the current 'go to' UHP all season, the Conti DWS-06+ in the warm dry weather.

But way behind those donuts in the wet, or cooler ambient temps, and far behind them in the snow.

I will know soon, since the Contis are going on my daily driver Dekagrams to replace the 205/50-16 Neo Gens in the near future (as soon as they go on sale/rebate from anyone at all!).

My car will never see snow. I can't stand the cold! They'll only be used on the street and fwys. Thanks for the inputs.

on my precious fiesta i bought the car with neogens on it, great stopping power and acceleration in the wet however lacked laterally in the wet

Not bothered about the rain. I grew up in Wales and besides, it only rains here once in a blue moon.

They are a great tire for the price. I'm on my second set and I would buy them again.
