Neuton NT5000 Reviews - Page 5

Given 83% while driving a Vauxhall V6 Turbo (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
Excellent in the dry not so good in the wet. Far better then simlar priced stuff though. Happily cope with my 300bhp and 400 lbft in the dry. They aquaplane more readily then my old michelins, so I just drive a bit slower then I used to. Done 7000 miles and still have 6mm all round)

I have them on my Forester XT, so far so good. One downside is the valve used by the fitter (Neos Bros) was leaky so I had to get it repalced.

Given 96% while driving a SEAT Altea (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Modified Seat Altea Xl 220 bhp! Front wheel drive. Car is a lot quieter than the the tyres before which were vredestein ultrac sessanta. Grip about the same and the tyres side wall are a lot stiffer than the sessanta. Thats the only gripe but will purchase again as I have four on mine at them moment.

These tyres are highly recommended on several forums & I can see why!
They are not even at their optimum performance having only been fitted a few days ago but I can notice a huge improvement already. Grip in the dry & the wet is impressive & they are comfortable & quiet. I have these on a Vectra 2.8 V6 Turbo (250 bhp, FWD).

Given 96% while driving a Honda Civic 1.8 VTEC Sport (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 8,000 average miles
Test it on my honda civic turbo charged 80 km/h on a sharp wet curve and an dry tire grips impressive. noise and vibration i give it 4/5. Tire is 6 months now 8000 km and tire is on 60%. This tire is far for better and affordable than maxxis,kumho,westlake, durun, gemstone,wanli. Hope they will not increase the price.

Given 39% while driving a Volkswagen Passat 1.9Tdi (205/55 R16 V) on mostly country roads for 12,000 spirited miles
I put these NTs on my Tdi, after being told how amazing these would be. Turns out they are totally average. Yes they suit the pocket, and they do perform as you would expect a budget tyre to perform, but they are certainly not even in the same galaxy as the Michelins I took off. If you are the type of driver who is not concerned by what you drive or even how you drive, then these tyres will do. If you expect more miles, grip and quietness, then look elsewhere.

Given 100% while driving a SEAT EXEO. SE.(143) 2.0ltr dsl turbo (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
After reading all the reviews I was still a little nervous,but after having them fitted,I was driving a different car,smooth/quite/responsive/good grip.Will just have to wait to see how they progress,but the rating is good,so should be Ok if true.If all OK after a few months will certainly buy again,why pay for top names when these are around,after all they are part of a top company anyway,so the same standards will apply.
Give them a go,it's worth a try.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Falcon BFII XT (235/40 R18 W) on mostly town for 3,000 spirited miles
My taxi covers about 4,000km per week, 2,500km of which is covered by me. I put a set of Neuton NT5000 tyres on the car a week ago and it's rained every day since.

Wet weather traction has been fantastic. I don't drift around aimlessly; I'm out to make money and keep my car moving at a good pace. Dry weight of the car is 1,700kg, so by the time you add fuel, equipment and a couple of people it's over 2,000kg. I've tried pushing the car hard through corners and it hasn't broken traction once.

I don't know how long they'll last for, but I'm extremely pleased with their wet weather grip.

I'm very impressed. It's early days but first impressions are good. At this stage this will be my permanent tyre.

Very good budget tyre. Very low road noise. I'm not really on a budget but my car is very heavy on front tyres so thought i would try a different brand. Overall very pleased and will definitely buy these again.

Given 94% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GT TDI 140 (205/55 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
Sensational grip from these tyres in wet and dry conditions. Have given top score for wear but will report back after 6 months or so. These tyres were £54 each for my car....it seems like they are well worth the money and some premium brands are way over rated. I wasnt particularly on a budget, just sick of top brands wearing quite quickly. But if you are on a budget try these tyres!

Given 100% while driving a Toyota Corolla (195/50 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 112 spirited miles
NT5000 195/50 R15 tire is Good. Great grip in Track and Public Roads. The tire has performed well under hard cornering particularly in wet. Also have a strong sidewall and rim flange guard. Noise is not noticeable.

Performance? I am satisfied. It's cheap but good quality.

Excellent Grip in dry and wet roads. Proven this last November 2, 2010. Full stop (late breaking) from running 80 t0 90 kph estimated. A truck turned left crossing to my path. i managed to break without experiencing "J drift".

And also encountered 3 deep and wide holes. The NT5000 tires are still in good shape and condition. Only my rim is damaged.
