Nexen makes some really good tires... I have used the N5000 Platinum and Plus, and the Roadian HTX and they have been excellent...
I run my Klever RT closer to 35psi. Haven't had any issues, even with a jacked up alignment.
Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack or Serenity, Yokohama Avid Touring-S or GT, Continental TrueContact Tour or PureContact LS, ... But looking at your current tire and the one you're looking at, it looks like you are more budget minded... consider the Nexen N5000 Platinum. I've had those and their predecessor (N5000 Plus) on a few vehicles and were more than impressed with the tire in general for what you pay for it, and noise was always very low.
I have kenda K908 on my commuter now. Yes, 26".
The middle part gives good rolling, while sides dig deep enough for light gravel. And wear is very good. Already did like 600km on these without any signs of use.
I was Super curious about these tires because they look good and second was was the fact that the hybrid community was giving high praise to these tires. 1. They look great ???? 2. The efficiency is indeed high. I went from 3.7mi/kwh to a solid 4mi/kwh. I really like these tires now. The reviews were no joke. These tires have better "range" than the Michelin Energy Saver that they replaced. Some people look down on these "off-brand" tires as they want something more expensive and a name brand. These tires are just fine.
I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
Last set of tires I bought were by Nexen.... pretty good tire, wore well.... got about 36k on them, will be due for new in the fall.
In run kenda K35 tires (but not gumwall) and they are ok budget tires. They work well but are not especially light, grippy or puncture-resistant.
I have nexen tires on my ram truck I have had two almost brand new tires bulge apart on that truck. They are in fact junk tires.
If you are going for less than 40 thickness, dont buy cheap. For example, 235/20/35 nexen is bad, very bad. I had it and went for a check up and found out a bulge growing like a tumor on the inner side of the tire.
