vs
Tires Nexen or Maxxis
I've had to mount two different DHFs in the past couple of weeks and both times struggled to even get the tire onto the rim. Super tight to lever over the edge and had to be meticulously centered as low as possible on the opposite side just to have a chance. It seemed to take a lot more pressure than usual to get the bead to seat. I like the performance so far, and it is a go-to tire around here
Pros: like the performance
Cons: super tight, hard to mount
I ran Nexen N-Fera SU1 on my GTI this summer and they were great. Wet/Dry performance for the daily driver was great, noise wasn't an issue either. Seem to be wearing well.
Pros: great wet/dry performance, wearing well
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
They're fantastic for DE's / non-competition for all the reasons you list. I 100% recommend for HPDE for both performance and bang-for-buck. Pros: -They last a very long time compared to every other R compound tire out there (I've run Toyo, Hankook, Hoosier, etc etc.) -Cheap compared to other 100 treadwear tires. They ship straight from Maxxis and come with a T-shirt. -Not a lot of fade, both during a session and over multiple heat cycles -They give you a lot of feedback and tend not to snap loose
Pros: long lasting, cheap
Cons: slower lap times
Vehicle:
Mazda
+1 they look like correct for a Jeep tire vs everything else out there and I'm pretty happy with them over the last 15000 miles or so.
Pros: happy with them
Vehicle:
Jeep
Mileage: 24140 km
Maxxis makes pretty durable tires. High roller rolls a little slow but grips well, Ardent rolls pretty fast and offers decent grip.
Pros: durable tires, decent grip
Cons: high roller rolls slow
I am a big fan of the Crossmarks. They are definitely not as grippy as something like the Ardent, but they are very, very fast.
Pros: very fast
Cons: not as grippy
I ran them on my 850 volvo for a while. Seemed to wear well and I had no issues.
Pros: wear well, no issues
Vehicle:
Volvo 850
These are rare, look great and are durable. The tires only have about 5k miles on them and show minimal tire wear.
Pros: rare, look great, durable
Cons: minimal tire wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 8046 km
Good for the money.. they are indeed 'budget tires'.. Perform decently on dry.. but wet traction is not all that good and I thought they wore fast.. like 30k miles.. rotated them every 5k..
Pros: decent dry performance
Cons: poor wet traction
Mileage: 48280 km
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
