vs
Tires Nexen or FEDERAL
Nexen WinGuards are some good, budget dedicated winter tires... they perform better than they should for the price...
Pros: good budget winter tires
Cons: price vs all-weather
I have Federal Himalaya Inverno K1 on my Highlander and they are boss. Never gotten stuck. Never had traction issues and I can go 120 in a blizzard
Pros: never gotten stuck, no traction issues
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
I have other winter tires but THESEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - Day and night difference for specially Win-guards sports 2. Last winter, i was beating everyone on the highway with good amount of snow falling. Even and were slowing down in Boston highway 1-93 as I was on my way to Montreal
Pros: day and night difference
Cons: a bit noisy
From our personal experience and also clients’ feedback we have had much better performance with the Sport R compared to the RT660. Autocross conditions will have the Sport R need a little more warmup, however it does not fall off as much as the RT660 (especially after heat cycles) and yes longevity is much longer on the Sport R. The RT660 also has a tread splicing issue that we really don’t like to see in a performance tire.
Pros: better performance, longer longevity
Cons: needs more warmup
I ran the Sport R on my ES MR2 after V730. The wear was better, better feel all around and probably slightly faster
Pros: better wear, better feel
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
While I agree that these tires have lived a full life and should be replaced, it’s impressive how well these tires have held up after 15 years. Nexen - I’m impressed.
Pros: held up well
Cons: should be replaced
I bought them last year and they are alright. I am not a very enthusiastic driver though. They are less sticky than my cooper all season tires on dry roads but brake much better on snow than my all seasons.
Pros: brake better on snow
Cons: less sticky on dry
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I've used Nexen All Seasons and they weren't bad, not the best tires but for the price they were pretty good.
Pros: pretty good for price
Cons: not the best tires
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
I had Nexen tires put on for the first time a couple years ago and had 2 punctures within a week of each other last year and just today one completely blew out. They were cheap but I probably wouldn't buy them again.
Pros: completely blew out
Cons: 2 punctures, blew out
I’ve ran them for autox for fun when I had bmw Z4. They aren’t that good. Lol. Decent daily tires though.
Pros: decent daily tires
Cons: aren’t that good
Vehicle:
BMW Z4
