Review of Nitto Neo Gen?

Please don't flame me cause it's not about the performance....much.

I cannot find a review or any input on the Nitto Neo Gens. Has anyone had them on thier EVO. I've seen them discussed on regular lancers but not the EVO's. I understand that the stock advan's are one of the best performing street tire out there. But if I can save $100/a tire I will. I just want a nice semi-grip tire and something that is going to not wear down in 15000 miles. I know the NeoGen is for the cambered vehicles and provide some grip and traction in the rain. I just want some peoples opinion. cause they are only going to be on for like 5 months and then winter comes around again.

Please give me honest opinions thinking of the price, the grip, and traction in the wet......not based off of racing, or high performing manuevers.

Thank you.

If I recall, the Neo Gen's are a fairly new tire. You might have to wait a few months before they hit the mainstream or just maybe get a set yourself

If not, the Falken Azenis RT615 are awesome for the price. Amazing autocross/light track tire and amazing for the street in summer/rain conditions.

I have the neo gen on my IS300. Really good tires for the price. Handles real well and grip is good. However, when its wet I do feel some slippage.
