I was in the same boat and I decided to roll with the BF Goodrich g-force comp 2 A/S tires. So far they're awesome and I have no complaints after about a month.
I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.
I ran them on my 850 volvo for a while. Seemed to wear well and I had no issues.
These are rare, look great and are durable. The tires only have about 5k miles on them and show minimal tire wear.
btw, i run nexen n3000 tires and love them.
If you can afford it I suggest BFG. Michelin bought them, kept their price structure, but imposed Michelin quality controls on production.
Too late, I already got them installed and went with the Nexens. So far so good. Very smooth ride and no noise whatsoever!
I bought bf winter slaloms for my girlfriend and I this year. Live in Canada. Really bad winter. They were amazing and was not disappointed. From what I read online these were best bang for the buck.
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.
Nexen tires are cheap for a reason. While they may serve you just fine to putt down the highway they are inferior in about every measurable category to most reputable tires, lateral grip, braking, acceleration.
