vs
Tires Nexen or DEXTER
I loved the sur4g from nexxen. I would do a lil burnout when I left my drive way. Warm enough.
Pros: warm enough
Drove our car with Nexens on and it's a surprisingly quiet tire vs the Bridgestones it had on previously.
Pros: surprisingly quiet tire
Update: got the Nexens and so far notice 0 road noise on highway or in town, both absolutely quiet.
Pros: absolutely quiet, zero road noise
The Nexens without a second thought... Those N'Fera SU1 tires are excellent tires and Nexen has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry.
Pros: excellent tires, best warranty
I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.
Pros: no oil consumption, decent wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 30000 km
I have the nexens on my golf R and they are perfectly serviceable winter tires. Would buy them again no problem
Pros: serviceable winter tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
We ran those Nexens for a few years on a Ford Focus RS AWD in winter and it's a solid tire... The Michelin is a better tire especially on ice, but for $150 less I would take the Nexens again. This is in ND, so winters can get pretty extreme and they perform well.
Pros: solid tire, performs well
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
I got about 26,000 miles from the Nexen.
Pros: 26000 miles
Mileage: 41843 km
Nexen and Sailun are low tier tire brands - they are trying to suggest affordable tires already.
Cons: low tier tire brands
Can't tell for EV, but my nexens on kodiaq lasted like 20k and already fronts were down to 3mm.
Cons: fronts down to 3mm
Vehicle:
Skoda Kodiaq
Mileage: 20000 km
