Tires Nexen or Maxxis
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
I just put a set of Rekon Race on my Roscoe. Haven't ridden the trails yet. Our trails are hard pack dirt, with a little sand, in the woods.
Well, the Rekon races came highly regarded but my second day on one I flatted (rear tire). Maxxis claims it was a pinch flat. OK, maybe but it should have held up.
Pros: highly regarded
Cons: flatted rear tire
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
I would highly recommend passing up maxxis tires. Those things are so danged slow. Vittoria Mexcals or Teravail oxbows are what I’d look for.
Pros: Vittoria Mexcals recommended
Cons: maxxis tires slow
