vs
Tires Nexen or Giti
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
We just wrapped up our tire test showdown as we put six leading touring tires to the ultimate performance test across all conditions.
Wondering how tires like Giti Control P10, Michelin Primacy 4 ST, and others performed on a BMW F30.
Pros: performance test across conditions
Vehicle:
BMW
I've used Nexen from South Korea and found it very decent compared to Chinese ones which can be noisy.
Pros: very decent quality
Cons: can be noisy
Nexen tires are massively better in quality and value. I trust Nexen not only with my life, but put them on two of my kids vehicles when they went away to college in the Dakotas (extreme climate variation and brutal winters). Right now we have three vehicles on Nexen tires. In general, Nexen tires are not only worth the money, but they give more value for the price than most tires... They are not the "best" tire out there, but they are a good, quality tire that punches way above their price point.
Pros: good quality, great value
Cons: not the "best" tire
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
I’ve got the Giti tires that were “developed” with VW and I’ve gotten over 60k with mine. Granted they are about to the wear bars now and need replacing.
Pros: high mileage
Cons: nearing wear bars
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 60000 km
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
Mine didn’t even last a full summer
Not comparable to the oem continentals, I preferred my beefier all seasons to the nexens.
Pros: none
Cons: did not last
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.
Cons: dealer paperwork difficult
Mileage: 5000 km
