Nexen N3000 and N7000

Hello -- I am new to this first time ever posted anything so please overlook any mistakes.

Last year I Traded in my 2003 Mustang GT for a 2008 RX8 Sport 6SPD and I love it -- Mush more neutral car handles great right outta box couldn't be happier NOW A MAZDA GUY FOR LIFE -- I've used nexen N3000 for years on GT and had NO Problems --

Now I need tires on RX8 -- thinking of going with 245/40/18 N3000 or the N7000 I've seen a couple of old posts about the nexens does anybody have any experience with the above and any pictures? Would like to see how they look on stock wheels.

Stock RX8 -- no real mods -- keeping stock 18's for a while no $$$$ -- Drive about 90 Miles a day all highway -- dead straight boring florida -- cruise control set at 80 - 85 MPH only time I get to test handling is on exit ramps -- so I don't think I will notice softer side wall.

Lots of Mod's coming -- thanks for any help --

ive had them almost a year, about 10k on them...they are good for the price.

i have a staggered set of 19's...paid like 550-600 mounted.

they are pretty good, i can still drive aggressively, great wet weather capabilities..not very loud.. they look ok ( i guess you mean like side wall design or somethin)

check my sig you can see some of it, or check my cardomain..im like number 3 or 4 on the rx8 list
