On our prescribed sighting-lap line, the Optima's chassis proved compliant while the standard high performance dampers (fundamental design shared with the Sorento's dual flow dampers) and suspension tuning found a good compromise between a relaxed ride and more aggressive roadholding. Off the driving line, the stock Nexen touring tires didn't enjoy steering corrections at speed, and predictably squealed in protest.

Pros: compliant chassis, relaxed ride

Cons: tires squealed in protest

Vehicle: Kia Optima

We choose to wrap the wheels in Nexen N3000 235/35/19. To be honest they were the cheapest Tires I could find. Another review will come after Jen racks a couple of miles on them.

Pros: cheapest tires

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

I have the N5000's on my Classix for my Summer wheels, They are OK, Feel better than the stock Contis on the steelies I use in the winter But not the best in the Wet, If its rainning, I can easily get them to spin.... When they wear, I probably won't buy them again . . . J

Pros: better than stock Contis

Cons: not best in wet, easily spin

Part number: N5000

I had the Nexen N3000's for about 23,000 and they were pretty great tires. They were the best tire I've ever had in the wet, decently quiet, balanced well and wore like rocks. If you are looking for good tread life and cheap price then these are great. If you need something sticky, these won't do... I hardly ever drive hard but when I did I found the limits easily. I bought 4 225/40-18's at 67 bucks a piece and sold them 23,000 miles later for 100 bucks and the guy was floored b/c it looked like I never drove on them.

Pros: great in wet, quiet, balanced well, good tread life

Cons: not sticky, limits found easily

Mileage: 23000 km

Part number: N3000

The N3000 is ok. Had them on my A4 Avant when I bought it. Dry grip is pretty good, and they do ok in the wet, too. Definitely lacking in grip compared to something like PS2s but not bad. Sidewall is moderately soft and they wear quicker than expected.

Pros: good dry grip

Cons: soft sidewall, quick wear

Vehicle: Audi A4

Good for the money.. they are indeed 'budget tires'.. Perform decently on dry.. but wet traction is not all that good and I thought they wore fast.. like 30k miles.. rotated them every 5k..

Pros: decent dry performance

Cons: poor wet traction

Mileage: 48280 km

despite what people say, the n3000's are that bad. i've had a set for a while now on my could, 195-45-15 on a 15x8, and i've driven the piss out of it, and they've got pretty impressive dry traction and cornering for as cheap as they are... traction goes way down in the rain though, not horrible, but not good either, haha.

Pros: impressive dry traction, cornering

Cons: traction goes way down

When i bought my GTI 1.8T it came with the Nexen n3000 and personally i liked them the road handling was quite good and they seem to handle well in the wet also. The tread lasted me quite long and id say for about 14000 miles and they still had 6-7/32 tread left when i sold them. Honestly i am thinking of buying them again!

Pros: good road handling, good wet handling, long tread life

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 14000 km
