Tires Nexen or Kormoran
I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price
Pros: fine in midwest winters
Cons: handled snow and ice
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have run them for the last 2 winters and they are great. Quiet, good handling and decent traction.
Pros: Quiet, good handling
Cons: Decent traction
OEM Nexen on my Hyundai. Surprisingly great tires. I had always been a Michelin guy, but when the time comes I might get another set of Nexens, especially seeing their price.
Pros: surprisingly great tires
Cons: seeing their price
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I've been running a set for 3+ years now. City driving of 40km daily. Tread is still good and road noise is non existent.
Pros: good tread, no road noise
Nexen is good and reasonably priced.
Pros: good, reasonably priced
I ran nexen Sport R, they’re a tick off pace of the hot 200tw (RE71RS, CRSv2, A052) but they’re super consistent across a 30 minute lapping session and I was getting 5-6 days out of a set.
Pros: super consistent, long lasting
Cons: slightly slower
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
They aren't top tier but they aren't completely garbage either. Good tire if you're not trying to break the bank
Pros: good tire, affordable
Cons: not top tier
About 8,000 miles ago, bought a set of their 30,000 mile rated tires. My wife asked me to look at her front tires because they looked "worn out" to which I said "What!" The front tires look like they have gone almost 25,000 worth of wear. She only drives locally and her job is less than a mile away. I've never seen tires wear down so much from so little driving but I guess that's what you get from buying at a Mom and Pop discount place.
Pros: worn out
Cons: worn out quickly
Mileage: 12875 km
I’ll be honest these came in my brand new 2025 Volkswagen Jetta which I purchased last October and I already need a new set. I have put in a wreck of miles though 18k miles already but I still think they wore way too quick they’re at “4 tread and will need to replace.
Pros: wore way too quick
Cons: wore way too quick
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 28968 km
I consider Nexgen tires dangerous with oversteer especially with high center of gravity vehicles. Maybe it's the soft sidewall.
Pros: soft sidewall
Cons: dangerous with oversteer
