I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
Last set of tires I bought were by Nexen.... pretty good tire, wore well.... got about 36k on them, will be due for new in the fall.
I'm running a ducati 848 evo and I have the sportmax gpr300 in the front and a roadmaster 3 in the back I've got 2k miles of very spirited riding on them so far and I've got to say I feel like I've pushed them to the limit several times but I've never felt as if they were going to let go on me. A few times the roadsmart or roadmaster or whatever in the rear a felt get a little wiggly but the sportmax on the front has never felt as if it was lacking grip at all whatsoever my only issue thus far is that the sportmax gpr300 is showing quite alot of wear after 2k miles where as the rear tire isn't showing much wear at all.
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.
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.
I had to change tyres for my 5 series last month. I went with Dunlop (not runflat) and can feel a marked improvement in the ride quality over the run flats.
I used them both on street and track on a gsxr600. I loved them for dry weather sporty street riding. On sunny track days, the rear overheats after a couple of laps and the grip noticeable reduces, but even then the rear is still very controllable and completely safe. No warmers needed and excellent wear.
I've used Nexen All Seasons and they weren't bad, not the best tires but for the price they were pretty good.
Had one of mine pop on the way to my new job on the other side of the country- only 5k on some N’priz AH8s (70k warranty) replaced back in October.
I have nexen tires on my ram truck I have had two almost brand new tires bulge apart on that truck. They are in fact junk tires.
