USED NEXEN RADIAL TIRE N2000, 205/60/16...

I want to try the CT option for myself. I am mounting an used tire that I already have.  Wink
This car tire has 70% of life ahead. It is in good usable condition and it features
the thread pattern that I like.:  Cheesy

http://www.tirebuyer.com/tirebuyerwicket/home/tab/Buy%20Tires/subtab/Shop%20by%20Brands/brandsList_selectedItem/Nexen/selPanel/tireSizeByBrandList/brandStyleList_selectedItem/N2000
 
After a trial period,  I will decide whether it works for me.  Undecided

To install the CT, I must do minor modifications to the Valkyrie-fender-tail .  ???

Wish me luck!  Cool
