what do U like better? nexen or kumho?

hmm nexen s lasted longer then kumho s same performance i think.

[juniinc]

Yup I got about 13,000 miles on my N3000, still morethan 60% tread left .

[greerj1]

I got 12000 out of my rear nexens, they are not good at the track as they age. The fronts are going fine. Will us Pzero rossa's for the track, much more traction. Presently approaching 93000 with only clutch, RMS, IMS and brakes. Can't wait for the snow to go away.

Hi -Just curious- are they original miles?

[ivangene]

Tip or Stick?

I was looking at your maintenance.... AOS $600 and Tranny Service $313

those are at an indy or dealer....

(I did DIY for both of those)

you change your own oil ? (also 9q and 9.3q... do you not change filter every time?)

congrats on the miles... I am at 108k and happy today knowing you are still running strong ! ! !

hello,

it is Tip, and yes an independent shop did my aos and tranny. i am sure i could have done the tranny but aos ?? isn't the engine have to be lowered for aos??

i had to take my car 2 places then a dealer to find out it was aos, it wasnt smoking just making squeaky noise.

one place, while they had 2 959 's setting under the cover and 10 or so 996's there for service they thought it was the transmission.

another place same type of cars being service but thought it is the engine.

took it to the dealer paid the $300 or so to diagnose then to a independent shop.

how hard was it to do replace the aos ??

i do every oil change and do change the oil filter every time.

my 996 hit 150000 today

Congratulations! Are they original engine miles?

[fredkhaz]

Congratulations! Are they original engine miles?

yes it is ..

and i find myself driving it very hard these days... we will see how long it will go.

haven't change fuel filter yet .... but i always good gas.

:D

[ecgross1]

You don't have to drop the engine for the aos, but it still is a major pain in the butt. $600 is dirt cheap for that replacement.

Howdy

where do you get your car serviced at?
