Ryan Kado just announced he will be running on Nexen Tires for the 2012 season with his Nissan 350z. He is going to run the N9000 tire in the rear and a N6000 in the front. An interesting move switching compounds between the front and rear but clearly Kado has something cooked up for the new season. He will be on Nexen Tire along with 2010 Rookie of the Year Odi Bakchis and 10th place finisher Kyle Mohan.
Just after F0rmula D Round 3 at Wall Speedway Appendix C.2 got updated with approved tires for the Formula Drift series. The latest addition is for new tire company Nexen who received approval for the N9000 model tire. This should be interesting to see if performances from Kyle Mohan, Taka Aono, or Cyrus Martinez improve with the new tire. This is also a list of all approved tires for the series in case you have never seen it.
