vs
Tires Nexen or Maxxis
I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Saab
Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.
Pros: good tire for price
Cons: ride a little soft
Compared to all previous sets they a very quiet and drive very smooth, they feel kind of spongy if that makes any sense.
Pros: very quiet, drive smooth
Cons: feel kind of spongy
A Maxxis Shorty in DD casing and Max-Grip compound is about as slow a tyre as you can get - a Maxxis Rekon Race in Exo casing and Max-Speed compound is about the fastest thing you can put on your rims.
Pros: fastest thing
Cons: slow a tyre
But my go to tire in this space is Nexen... Nexen N5000 Platinum should be under $600 out the door with mount, balance, and taxes, a solid 70k mile all-season tire.
Pros: solid all-season tire
I had a set of Nexen Aria A7's on my GMC Terrain, I got 52,000 miles out of them and they gripped just fine and were quiet. For the money they are a good tire. They are a Korean brand, not some fly-by-night Chinese garbage brand.
Pros: good tire, gripped fine
Mileage: 83686 km
All are legit, and I would also vouch for Nexen. I put a set of Aria AH7 on my '19 Fusion, and they are quite nice for the price.
Pros: nice for the price
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
Part number: AH7
Flow One + NEXEN SUR4g. Not the best, but a move up from my shockingly bald street tires.
Pros: move up from tires
Cons: not the best
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.
Pros: bulge apart
Cons: junk tires
I rode a set of these from California to Panama. Would not recommend. The ride quality is decent but these things will find every fucking shard of wire scraps along the road. I got 3x as many flats as any of the folks I rode with.
Pros: decent ride quality
Cons: many flats
