Those Nexen N5000+ are great but older models (been on the market for 10 or so years), they started phasing them out several years ago with only a few sizes remaining, and were largely replaced by the N5000 Platinum
Vouch for Nexen, using their summer performance tires and got a tire blew recently due to a pothole on highway , they approved my road hazard claim quick and sending me reimbursement for my tire. Satisfied and getting another for sure
My local tire store didn’t have the Hankook in stock so I went went Goodyear Electric Drive and I like them quite a bit. There was a YouTube video about EV tires and the Electric Drive also got good ratings across many categories. So they were well balanced. The Hankook have quite a bit less grip than some other brands but that’s paid off in less rolling resistance and better range.
I had Maxlife on my 1.5T and was satisfied
Goodyear band Efficient Grip Performance 2 are the tires installed.
Almost 20000 a year in all weather conditions, very good mileage and no tire noise.
I think the tires are named as a summer tire but they have excellent grip!
Especially in the rain soooo a perfect tire for driving in Belgium.
Agree - quality brands make a huge difference. Goodyears are my go to. Have had great experience with Maxlife and WeatherReady
Just thought I’d share some initial impressions.
Car Details: 2020 Model 3 RWD
Original Tires: Michelin Primacy
Miles of original tires: 58,300
New Tires: Nexen N’Blue 4S2
Miles on new tires: 100-200
Road Noise
Nexen (N): quiet. I mean nothing at slow speeds and very light at hwy speeds.
Efficiency
N: Still early days, but all miles in the rain and with gusts from the recent hurricane (it’s not nearly hurricane force winds). Mainly highway this far and was around 250-260kwh.
Ride Quality
N: shockingly noticeable job absorbing bumps. Not like a new suspension, but takes the cringe out of small potholes and bumps.
I dailied +0 sized duratracs on a stock 2007 4runner for a few years. At 40psi and they were great in just about everything on weekends. But I hated them on damp pavement (concrete highway specifically on big turns at speed felt like they wanted to slip)
While I was originally happy with the GoodYear Assurance Comfortdrives two years ago on the HL, in the short 28K miles I've put on them, they have become quite loud and wearing rather quickly.
2022 Audi Q5. 25,000 miles and left rear had a broken belt and tread separation. Felt a vibration while going down the highway at 65mph. 1/4” separation about 1/3 of the way around the tire. Also with 25,000 tire wear sucked.
