vs
Tires Nexen or NANKANG
Got a flat replaced with a neven tire and it barely wore at all after 15000 miles, replaced the other 3 when they wore out with nexen tires and they grip well. No problems at all.
Pros: grip well, no problems
Cons: barely wore at all
Mileage: 24140 km
Tested on a 2018 AMG GT R in Porsche Ring, Audru, Estonia. So far I'm liking the CRS more. Price is the same as Cup 2, but it's faster and doesn't seem to be worse on street.
Pros: faster, good on street
We also have good experience with Nankang on smaller cars. I have not tried them on bigger cars yet. They are a bit more noisy than the Vitour tires, but the white stripe on them seems to hold up a little bit better. But there is still no problem keeping them white.
Pros: white stripe holds better
Cons: a bit more noisy
You can look into Nexen. Korean brand. Not as cheap as the Chinese brands but not as expensive as the known brands. I fitted these on my Tiguan last year. Take my anecdotal experience with a grain of salt, but the ride felt quieter with the Nexens vs the Bridgestones it had on before.
Pros: ride felt quieter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
If you have the 15" stock wheels, check out nexen npriz AH5. I got some off Amazon for my 65 riviera when I was stock height.
I have them on my car, bought them in 2023 and living in the northeast, they've gone through two winters, hot ass summers and rain and they've done the job and still have a ton of tread on them. With so much insane weather here, I was worried about maybe some traction problems in the snow and rain. Haven't had any at all. YMMV but they've been better "for me" than some higher priced, higher rated tires I wasted money on in the past. I can't speak on everything the company sells, but my specific ones are the Nexen CP671s.
Pros: ton of tread, no problems
I have a set of Nankang NS-2R that I'd throw in the Ok tier. Faster than my rs4 were for sure. They are turning out to be pretty consistent all the way to the cords.
Pros: faster than rs4
The crs were a bit pricey and didnt last long but they’re noticeable higher grip
Pros: noticeable higher grip
Cons: bit pricey, didnt last
Nexen are easily the worst time I've ever owned. If i bought another one id take it directly to my friend an put a set of Pilot AS4 on it.
Cons: worst ever owned
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Nexens are a road hazard. I've had aggressive winter tires that grip better than these.
Cons: poor grip, road hazard
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
