I've always thought these tires have a good looking sidewall.

I think they might be a little stiffer than I suspected, contributing to their good turn in. Then again, I'm using a 40 aspect, so gaining a little stiffness there. I'm still very impressed by them.

40 degrees and light rain here in the Windy City. I have ~400mi. on the Neo Gens and the wet traction at this temp is really good. I continue to be impressed by the "light" steering feel and quick/easy turn in...

just replaced the yokohama s drives with 205/40/18 nitto neo gens
and what a difference, they are much quieter and they seem to be an all around better tire

Nice, post up your thoughts when you get some miles on them under different conditions

Dear MiniPeeps...
is this tire an all season. I would like a tire that performs great in the snow but still an all season so I don't have to change in the summer. Please advise. Thanks!!!
