Tires Nexen or BRIDGESTONE
Bridgestone weatherpeak on my 2021. Seems to be a great tire for all kinds of weather
Got 4 new Bridgestone two years ago for about $500
With balance. Free tire rotations and patch job. Don’t buy junk. They are rated for 50-60K. Driven maybe 30k have 5 mm tread depth left even mostly city driving.
RS11's are amazing tires, used them before going to slicks. For road use the don't last that long though.
There's also the Bridgestone WeatherPeak, which is priced like the Michelin CrossClimate, but it seems like it has better snow and ice traction.
I like Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Great dry grip and excellent wet grip.
RE71r - on all four corners of my S6. Really sticky and ride well.
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.
They are lovely road tires. For anything off-road? Not so much.
Nexen is shit. Hyundai kia use them as their stock tires and they are absolute dogshit. Honestly 90% of their reputation for poor ride and handling. I popped one on a pothole. 3 mm sidewall thickness.
They will work good in the winter on ice and snow but they will suffer on dry conditions and the highway. I find that once you are driving over 50 mph (80km) they turn very unstable and very floaty. Also, they will be loud and cornering on dry pavement is pretty bad.
