Tires Nexen or GISLAVED
I had the Nexen Winguard Sport (not the 2) on my 2019 Mustang GT. I drove that car (RWD, manual, 460 hp) for 3 winters on those tires and never had any problems.
Pros: no problems, good performance
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
We use Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on our Focus RS AWD... they work very well... they are good tires and punch well above their price level in terms of performance and longevity.
Pros: work very well, good performance
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
I had a very good experience with the Gislaved Nordfrost 100s. They were fairly priced, they have a crazy amount of tread for a tire, and their performance was very good.
Pros: very good performance
Vehicle:
Volvo
I whole-heartedly recommend the Nexen N5000 Platinums... They are not the best tires out there by any means, but punch way above their price category in quality.
Pros: good quality for price
Cons: not the best tires
Gislaved Nord Frost 200 factory studded tires.
Vehicle:
Ford
I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Saab
Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.
Pros: good tire for price
Cons: ride a little soft
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 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 had 3 of my 4 Nexen tires give out on my new Volkswagen under 20k. Don't recommend
Pros: give out
Cons: give out
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 32187 km
