Most famous is their MA-Z1 Victra, but heard they are hard and noisy and poor dry grip.
Then they came out with i-pro but still do not have much feedback on them......

If cannot get outside of Klang valley, call up Quicksave, they can ship to you. Some members from JB did that....

just some comments..
i have put on N8000 on my fronts (215/50/17) since 21/12/12.
now travelled more than 4K km, gone thru torrential rain, standing water, banjir, fast dry/damp kampung road, highway..
i should say they perform good..
quiet, very good aquaplaning ability and wet grip.. on dry its more than average..
very very happy with the performance/price..
will buy again. hehe..

N8000 got very big grooves for aquaplane resistance......

Been on N8000(225/40/18 AWD) for 6966km, 1 track day n high speed traveling so far the tire compound last longer then i expected, now still look new apart from some chip away due to constant drag when on road tuning. The compound is soft yet not easy wear off, after some 180+km/h on highway, surface can stick small stone on it, yet still wear less then i expected. Last week traveling 140km/h on light rain with ease. Comfort is also better then my expectation on my adjustable, n it make no road noise or my car is very well dampen..? The best part is its affordable for me, the best decision i made so far. Highly recommended to try it out, never let me down... yet...

 

[fazidk]

Was on nexen n3000...my honest opinion?very good tire at reasonable price...now on nexen n8000...opinion?d same...perform better then expected (aqua planing is very good; on dry grip is competitive wiz other more famous brands I've used)...

N3000 must weaker in the wet. N8000 even though great in the wet, actually dry looses out a bit, due to less rubber (because have big grooves)

On my friend Volvo, he mentioned wears fast....

 

[Dayline668]

His car must have bad alignment, toe kill tire. I got 1-1.5 camber but still wear is minimum. Will update with foto when i back with the car.
