Leading Drift Drivers Choose Nexen

Nexen tyres have been chosen as the competition tyres for two of Europe’s leading drifters Eric O’Sullivan and Martin French. The first Prodrift meeting of the series took place in Ireland at the end of April and Eric O’Sullivan achieved first position. After the race, Eric said: “The Nexen 3000 definitely aided the car’s performance and played an important role in the win. The grip from the tyres was so good that on the final lap the speed recorded as I entered the first corner was 86mph.”

In the UK, Nexen tyres are available exclusively from Stapleton’s who offer the Nexen Key Dealer Programme. Stapleton’s has supplied the drift team with the Nexen 3000 tyres and will continue to support the drivers throughout the programme as it progresses through Berlin, Porto, Rotterdam as well as meets in Scandanavia and Belgium and the UK.

Stapleton’s trading director Steve Parker says the Prodrift series is an excellent way of demonstrating the performance of Nexen tyres. He says: “The first time Nexen was involved in drifting was in the 2007 Paris Tuning Show. They performed excellently and were well received by the drivers so it seemed an excellent opportunity to continue supporting the team by being the sole tyre suppliers for Eric O’Sullivan and Martin Ffrench.”

As exclusive stockists of Nexen tyres in the UK, Stapleton’s has developed the Nexen Key Dealer Programme to reward valued customers. Benefits of the programme include a personalised reward scheme, preferential purchasing prices, in-store support in the form of leaflets and posters, branded merchandise and lifetime guarantees on products. Each member will also receive a dealer reference catalogue.
