vs
Tires Nexen or Maxxis
Very few manufacturers have a solid warranty that is actually usable in this regard, however one of the best warranties in the industry is from Nexen.
Pros: best warranties in industry
The Nexens on my 70’ Beetle work great. No need to pay more.
Pros: work great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
They were absolutely excellent rear tires for a RWD with a lot of power in a snowy climate with a jumpy driver. Zero issues with slippage, balance, wear pattern, etc. since installed in December. 10k miles later and I found them flat with a hole in my parking lot at work, and a plug would not hold, big bummer.
Pros: zero issues with slippage
Cons: found flat with hole
Mileage: 10000 km
They are budget friendly and reliable. I'm using for the past 5 years.....have driven at high speeds for long distances and hot climate.....felt very comfortable.
Pros: budget friendly, reliable
Vehicle:
Toyota
The maxxis dth in the 2.3 has been my absolute favorite commuter tire for a long time. I still can't believe how light they are compared to other tires of this size. Tire tread is great for pavement and hard pack. Even had them out for some serious loaded touring and praised them.
Pros: light, great tire tread
Cons: sidewall protection
I’ve had really good Nexens, both all weather/snow. Sound better than stock, good handling - esp the snow tires
Pros: good handling, sound better
Picked up some Nexen Roadian GTXs that have served beautifully for about a year and a half and 24k miles. I’m a strong believer in middle of the pack tires. If you are going to go top notch, it’s Michelin or bust. Other than that, choose a decent tire for a middle of the road price.
Pros: served beautifully
Mileage: 24000 km
They run a bit narrow but I haven’t measured
Pros: run a bit narrow
I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.
Pros: better grip
Cons: sliding sideways
IMO those tires were bottom of the barrel. I would just replace.
Cons: bottom of the barrel
Mileage: 10000 km
