Tires Nexen or Kormoran
btw, i run nexen n3000 tires and love them.
Pros: love them
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
Mileage: 103000 km
Too late, I already got them installed and went with the Nexens. So far so good. Very smooth ride and no noise whatsoever!
Pros: very smooth ride, no noise
Kumho tires and Nexen tires are 2 chinese brands I highly recommend. I have both on my vehicles. Kumho on my car,Nexen on my truck.
Pros: highly recommended
i like the nexen 195 45s thats what i have on my car and there wear rating is awesome. and they grip nicely once you get them warmed up. ive seen the toyos wear out very quick.
Pros: awesome wear rating, nice grip
Cons: Toyos wear out quick
On our prescribed sighting-lap line, the Optima's chassis proved compliant while the standard high performance dampers (fundamental design shared with the Sorento's dual flow dampers) and suspension tuning found a good compromise between a relaxed ride and more aggressive roadholding. Off the driving line, the stock Nexen touring tires didn't enjoy steering corrections at speed, and predictably squealed in protest.
Pros: compliant chassis, relaxed ride
Cons: tires squealed in protest
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
C5 RS6 wheel painted flat black with brand new Nexen 3000 tire 19x8 et 30 best offer UUC weight shift knob, silver (6spd) nice and heavy I can include a threaded OEM shifter for free
Pros: nice and heavy
We choose to wrap the wheels in Nexen N3000 235/35/19. To be honest they were the cheapest Tires I could find. Another review will come after Jen racks a couple of miles on them.
Pros: cheapest tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
despite what people say, the n3000's are that bad. i've had a set for a while now on my could, 195-45-15 on a 15x8, and i've driven the piss out of it, and they've got pretty impressive dry traction and cornering for as cheap as they are... traction goes way down in the rain though, not horrible, but not good either, haha.
Pros: impressive dry traction, cornering
Cons: traction goes way down
Don't get Nexen. I got 2 for my SiLs car and they started to come apart in less than a year, side wall. Looked online and others had the same issue. When I contacted Nexen they did not seem to care.
Pros: null
Cons: come apart, poor quality
Nexen tires are cheap for a reason. While they may serve you just fine to putt down the highway they are inferior in about every measurable category to most reputable tires, lateral grip, braking, acceleration.
Pros: may serve you fine
Cons: inferior in every category
