You can look into Nexen. Korean brand. Not as cheap as the Chinese brands but not as expensive as the known brands. I fitted these on my Tiguan last year. Take my anecdotal experience with a grain of salt, but the ride felt quieter with the Nexens vs the Bridgestones it had on before.
If you have the 15" stock wheels, check out nexen npriz AH5. I got some off Amazon for my 65 riviera when I was stock height.
I have them on my car, bought them in 2023 and living in the northeast, they've gone through two winters, hot ass summers and rain and they've done the job and still have a ton of tread on them. With so much insane weather here, I was worried about maybe some traction problems in the snow and rain. Haven't had any at all. YMMV but they've been better "for me" than some higher priced, higher rated tires I wasted money on in the past. I can't speak on everything the company sells, but my specific ones are the Nexen CP671s.
They are a decent midrange tire. Absolutely a good choice if your budget is limited.
these are the quietest tires I can recall driving on this car .. the ride feels nice .. of course I also replaced the shocks so that's going to make a difference but the tires are very quiet .. others say they don't last though .. so I'll have to see
I had the first set of Dunlops till about 12k miles when the dealership stole one of my wheels during a rotation and put someone's busted wheel and tire with 1/8th less tread on it on my car. After some threats of legal action I got a new wheel and 4 new Dunlops, which lasted roughly 20k miles, mostly commuting.
My dunlops had about 8-9k miles on them and were down to 3/32" front, and 4/32" rear.
They are super grippy so they wear faster.
I never had any slipping in the rain.
Having worked at a Porsche dealership I’ve seen Dunlops wear out ridiculously fast. I’d be looking at a comparable Michelin or Conti to replace it with.
Just replaced them last Spring with Nexen. I had problems then. One was already replaced. Well, I need to replace another one because the low pressure signal keeps coming on.
Yes; it's cold but I shouldn't have to put air in the same tire 5+ times a week. And that same tire had issues when it was on the back driver side (before the rotation).
I have a pair of Dunlop Wintermaxx’s and they seemed like great tires, very gripping with dry roads. However, when it rains or is wet, they seem to absolutely suck. I start skidding/sliding even on simple turns at low speeds, even in a round a bout.
