Tires Nexen or Achilles
I like Achilles but not sure they still make them. Best cheapest tire that stretches really well.
Pros: stretches really well
Cons: unsure availability
Get Roadstones which are made by Nexen. I use them on a remapped (300bhp) 3 litre diesel BMW and they are great in both the dry and the wet.
Pros: great in dry and wet
Vehicle:
BMW
I had *Continental MaxContact 5* 2015 that lasted me 2016-2019. In 2020, I moved over to *Nexen N’fera AU7* (2019) on an extremely good deal. I’ll have you know, i’ve put down 90k highway kilometers on this rubber and it still drives great.
Pros: drives great, good deal
Mileage: 90000 km
I've found 40 psi to be a good pressure and I've had the Kona nearly 5 years, original Nexens. Sharpens up the handling over the recommended pressure.
Pros: sharpens up the handling
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I ran the original SUR4, enjoyed it but shoulder came apart in 16 runs on my HS car. Tried the Sport R on my ES car this year and enjoyed it. Only other tire I've had on it was the V730, and the Nexen was a little better all around.
Pros: better all around
Cons: shoulder came apart
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
I’m running 225/45/18 Nexen Winguard Sport 2 Winters with 18x8 NS1502
I have 225/40/19 nexen winguard sport 2 on my stock wheels.
I have used that brand i linked before though, and they are ok. I wouldnt put them on a track car or go 150mph in them, but they are fine for your average daily.
Pros: fine for daily use
Cons: not for track car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
If you are going for less than 40 thickness, dont buy cheap. For example, 235/20/35 nexen is bad, very bad. I had it and went for a check up and found out a bulge growing like a tumor on the inner side of the tire.
Cons: bulge growing like tumor
They suck lol. They are loud, they hyrdoplane like a motherfucker, grooved pavement like overpasses makes them do this weird shimmy thing, and they wear quick. They cause the ABS to kick on super early, and lose traction fast.
Cons: loud, wear quick
