<br/>Nitto Neo Gen</br><br/>

<p>Recently a leading consumer magazine tested all-season ultra-high performance tires. Nitto's Neo Gen tire

received second place overall with the editors commenting that the Nitto Neo Gen had basically tied with first

place.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<b>Features:</b>
<ul>
<li>The inner shoulder is made from one continuous block, which adds stability and prevents tread flex. By

preventing tread flex, the tires wear more evenly, even on cars with negative camber.</li>
<li>The large outer shoulder blocks are designed to optimize the surface contact and provide outstanding corner

traction.</li>
<li>Deep circumferential grooves work with the slanted 3D tread blocks to evacuate water to help maintain contact

with the road and provide excellent wet traction.</li>
