Nexen N3000 – Originally a joint venture with Michelin Tire Corp, Nexen provides some of the highest UTQGS (Uniform Tire Quality Grading System) ratings available on the market today. The N3000 is an all season ultra high performance tire with a state of the art shoulder design, allowing for superior performance and stability. In overall ride and satisfaction, many consumers compare the Nexen N3000 to the Michelin Pilot Sport AS model. The N3000’s aggressively styled lateral grooves provide excellent water displacement while adding to the sleek appearance of this high performance tire. The N3000 features high performance silica-enhanced L.L. Carbon tread rubber compound molded into an independent-block, directional tread design to blend responsive handling along with wet and dry traction. High Grip Silica Compound featuring an advanced resin technology used for their racing tires molded into a directional tread design allows outstanding performance even in cold weather. The integration of nylon spiral rap allows the tire to keep its original shape at extremely high speeds. The N3000 is the new generation of performance tire, combining ultra high performance with aggressive design, superior handling and a quiet, comfortable ride.
Mounting and Balancing - OE Wheel Distributors is committed to utilizing the latest innovations in the automotive industry and all balancing is performed on a Hunter Road Force Balancer GSP9700. This is the same process used in Indy and NASCAR circuits. The GSP9700 Vibration Control System extends far beyond the traditional functions of a wheel balancer. It not only solves wheel balance problems, but also “road tests” the tire/wheel assembly to eliminate virtually every variable causing vibration in relation to the tire and rim. The exclusive Road Force Measurement® System applies up to 1400 pounds (635 kg) against the tire, while rotating the wheel and tire at high speeds, thus imitating road force conditions. The loaded roller detects non-balance, radial force related vibrations caused by eccentricity and constructional variation of the tire and wheel. Unlike non-contact measurement, the roller samples the entire footprint of the tire including the sidewall’s contribution to ride quality. Road force balancing provides the best balancing available in the industry, and the Hunter GSP9700 is the most technologically advanced balancer in the Industry.
