Tires Nexen or IRONMAN
Get Roadstones which are made by Nexen. I use them on a remapped (300bhp) 3 litre diesel BMW and they are great in both the dry and the wet.
Pros: great in dry and wet
Vehicle:
BMW
I had *Continental MaxContact 5* 2015 that lasted me 2016-2019. In 2020, I moved over to *Nexen N’fera AU7* (2019) on an extremely good deal. I’ll have you know, i’ve put down 90k highway kilometers on this rubber and it still drives great.
Pros: drives great, good deal
Mileage: 90000 km
I've found 40 psi to be a good pressure and I've had the Kona nearly 5 years, original Nexens. Sharpens up the handling over the recommended pressure.
Pros: sharpens up the handling
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I ran the original SUR4, enjoyed it but shoulder came apart in 16 runs on my HS car. Tried the Sport R on my ES car this year and enjoyed it. Only other tire I've had on it was the V730, and the Nexen was a little better all around.
Pros: better all around
Cons: shoulder came apart
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
I’m running 225/45/18 Nexen Winguard Sport 2 Winters with 18x8 NS1502
I have 225/40/19 nexen winguard sport 2 on my stock wheels.
Nexen winter guard sport.
I have the N5000's on my Classix for my Summer wheels, They are OK, Feel better than the stock Contis on the steelies I use in the winter But not the best in the Wet, If its rainning, I can easily get them to spin.... When they wear, I probably won't buy them again . . . J
Pros: better than stock Contis
Cons: not best in wet, easily spin
Part number: N5000
Nexen is shit. Hyundai kia use them as their stock tires and they are absolute dogshit. Honestly 90% of their reputation for poor ride and handling. I popped one on a pothole. 3 mm sidewall thickness.
Cons: poor ride and handling
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
They will work good in the winter on ice and snow but they will suffer on dry conditions and the highway. I find that once you are driving over 50 mph (80km) they turn very unstable and very floaty. Also, they will be loud and cornering on dry pavement is pretty bad.
Pros: good on ice and snow
Cons: unstable, loud, bad cornering
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
