Tires Nexen or Kumho
6months and 15k miles into a set of these on a ford escape. They're quiet and wearing well so far. Not as quiet as Goodyear which is the same price but still a quiet tire.
I couldn’t find them recently for my wife’s CX-9 so we went with Kumho Crugens and they have also been great.
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.
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.
I got kumho ecsta on my wrx right now.
Yeah my MX5 had Kumo when I got it, and it loved to throw the rear and squeal a bit. Put RE003’s on it when I got a bit of money, holy shit. Suddenly grip monster
I've sold a ton of Nexen tires and used them on all my loaner cars. I never buy the N5000's though. I stick to the Classe Premier line so CP641 and CP672 tires. I use them on my mother in law's Jetta and I have the Nexen Rodian HP on my Wife's MB R350. Decent tires. Not the best but for the price, they work very well.
Kuhmo TA31 is used as OE on some vehicles. It’s been ok in all season performance but absolute garbage on snow.
Had bad experience with Kumhos. My Kumhos got a sidewall bulge last year.
