I got two new tires Friday from Discount Tire, Nexen N Priz AH5. I made an appointment, and after tires, installation, and tire disposal fee it was $268 and I was in and out of there within the hour.
I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price
I have run them for the last 2 winters and they are great. Quiet, good handling and decent traction.
I've had a FWD Corolla for 12 years and it has gotten me through the worst kind of storms in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and here in NL with Firestone Winterforce tires. I swear by them! I've gotten through conditions in snow storms that even big jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks got stuck in.
OEM Nexen on my Hyundai. Surprisingly great tires. I had always been a Michelin guy, but when the time comes I might get another set of Nexens, especially seeing their price.
I've been running a set for 3+ years now. City driving of 40km daily. Tread is still good and road noise is non existent.
I've been pretty happy with the cost/benefit of Firestone Indyhawk/Indy500/whatever they're calling them these days, on the stock wheels. They don't last long (I get 10-15k miles out of a set) but they're damn cheap ($650-$750), and break traction quite easily and predictably, if you enjoy going a little sideways often. I usually am running the Flying Miata alignment specs with these tires break loose fantastically easily and enjoyable for me on that alignment. On a factory alignment though they are reasonably grippy for spirited street driving. Again though the biggest benefit of them is they are super widely available (because Firestone) and CHEAP.
255 35 20 for Indy 500 also works, I’m using in 21m3p. Range takes a 5% hit.
Hello. I bought Nexen N'Fera Primus summer tyres for my and my brother's cars. My experience was ok, but my brother had a problem when one wheel just blew at a speed of 70 km/h. I sent the tire to the dealer. They answered it was hit and denied replacing the tyre. Unfortunately, the wheel was dirty because the car, after the tire was blowing, got to a gutter. But the blew part of the tyre was clear and you can see that rubber was damaged from inside. Tyre side is very soft. Poor tyres and poor service. Not recommend it.
Worst tires I have ever purchased. Snow traction was very good for an all season, but these should be marketed as a snow tire. The first set wore out in 13500 miles (in part due to a slight misalignment), and the second set are near garbage after 23000 miles. Most frustrating, is that they have cracked in between the tread. Firestone offered a measly discount as a warranty claim for the first set, I think $15 per tire. Spend the extra money and get a better set of all seasons.
