Tires Nexen or Achilles
Picked up some Nexen Roadian GTXs that have served beautifully for about a year and a half and 24k miles. I’m a strong believer in middle of the pack tires. If you are going to go top notch, it’s Michelin or bust. Other than that, choose a decent tire for a middle of the road price.
Achilles ATR Sport’s were the old model now they have the ACHILLES STREETHAWK. $50 tires super grippy and long lasting
I've had both Sailun and Nexen (2010 Audi A4 Avant) and had no issues, even with Autobahn driving.
Nexen vote for me. They've held up pretty well here in MA.
Nexen, depending on the model (avoid the CPxxx models otherwise excellent tires) are great tires and would be a lateral move from the RT43...
I love my nexen nprix 8. Going to get another set soon.
I have been a big fan of Nexen tires for some time... Sent two kids to college on them in the Dakotas where conditions can be less than ideal. And we have used their winter tires, performance tires, and truck tires as well and I can say I don't really have any negatives to say for the price... They are solid, budget tires in the same league as Cooper, General, Falken, and Yokohama... They are not Michelins or Bridgestones, but they don't try to be either.
They lasted 18,000 miles on my 2015 Mazda 6 before I was down to the wires. I mean for the price you get a ..... tire. They are not horrible tires that will be unsafe or that will handle horribly, but they are budget tires that won’t last long and that are loud specially with age.
At my 35K (mi) scheduled maintenance, I was told I had 2/32 left on the OEM Nexens.
I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.
