Two Nexen Tyres for a Volkswagen Scirocco

Why Volkswagen decided to stop producing the Scirocco is beyond my knowledge as, personally, I think they are a fantastic car! This lady in Higham called in as her two front tyres were starting to wear down beyond the point of no return.

As the lady tended to drive in a spirited fashion, she opted to go for the more performance orientated Nexen, the NFera SU1. Nexen tyres are one of our biggest sellers for good reason. As they don't advertise their products very much (in Europe) they put their money into R&D which very much shows when you start driving with their products fitted.

We arranged a date and time convenient with the customer, loaded the tyres on the van and headed out.

Upon arrival, we inspected the vehicle for anything of note; whether it be a crack in the sidewall or a nail embedded on the centre of the tyre. This customer's tyres were all fine and dandy so we moved on to removing the fronts for the swap over. Placing the wheel carefully on the turn table, we broke the bead of the old tyre and removed it from the rim. After inspecting the inside of the alloy for any corrosion or damage, we installed the new 235 35 R19 Nexen NFera SU1 tyre.

Before we installed the wheels back onto the vehicle, we had a quick chat with the customer about the benefits of swapping the new tyres to the rear of the vehicle. The reason we suggest this is that due to the weight of the engine and the downforce at the front of the car, the front tyres naturally have more grip. However, the rear tyres need as much grip as possible due to less weight being over the rear. This is why we suggest the swap over.

With the new tyre installed and the front to rear swap complete, we handed the keys back to the customer and headed back on the road!
