vs
Tires Nexen or FEDERAL
I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).
Pros: performed well, waaaaay quiter
Cons: very loud
I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.
Pros: fits BMW very well
Cons: sounds like plane
Vehicle:
BMW
I have some Nexen Aria AH7 all season tires on my old Subaru Outback wagon. They have been great tires but they are aging out so I need to replace them.
Pros: great tires
Cons: aging out
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
They’re solid mid range tires. Have run them on an elantra and they did the job (still currently installed).
Pros: solid mid range
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Nexen is a very reputable mid-range tire manufacturer... In general along the same lines as Cooper, Falken, General, Kumho, and other mid-tier brands quality wise. They have arguably the best warranty in the industry, including a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer (in the US at least).
If they fit your needs and the price is decent, is take a chance on Nexens.
Pros: reputable mid-range tire
You can get the nexen roadian HTX RH5 for $155 each from tires-easy right now. They should perform fairly well and be safe on the road.
Pros: perform fairly well, safe
Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.
Pros: handled snow great
Cons: hit or miss
I got about 26,000 miles from the Nexen.
Pros: 26000 miles
Mileage: 41843 km
I got duped by a tire salesman... He sold me 2017 date brand new nexen roadians.
They are wearing in weird ways. Now they have little chunks come out from the side, as if I was going through gravel roads.
Cons: wearing in weird ways, chunks come out
I purchased a new Skoda Fabia estate 27 months ago with Nexen tyres fitted. The tyres are very noisy and the dealer has advised that they should be replaced. The road noise on the Nexen is unbelievable and the noise changes with the road surface. Very dissapointing
Cons: very noisy, unbelievable noise
Vehicle:
Skoda Fabia
