vs
Tires Nexen or NANKANG
Honestly, the Nexen is a great tire... It's an older model but for the money it is tough to beat it. Nexen also has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry that includes a 2 year road hazard warranty.
Pros: great tire, tough to beat
Cons: older model
I’ve actually been running NS-2Rs on my Miata for a few months now. For the price, they’re seriously hard to beat. Grip is great once they’re warmed up, and they’ve taken a decent beating at a couple of track days without falling apart. I was skeptical at first, but they’ve earned my respect.
Pros: great grip, durable
Cons: grip needs warm up
Vehicle:
Mazda
Part number: NS-2RS
I'm running Girordisc in the front with IS3500 and in the rear stock rotors with IS3000 and they are holding up so far at Mosport with Nankang CRS V2 tires.
Pros: holding up so far
I have some Nexen Aria AH7 all season tires on my old Subaru Outback wagon. They have been great tires but they are aging out so I need to replace them.
Pros: great tires
Cons: aging out
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
They’re solid mid range tires. Have run them on an elantra and they did the job (still currently installed).
Pros: solid mid range
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Nexen is a very reputable mid-range tire manufacturer... In general along the same lines as Cooper, Falken, General, Kumho, and other mid-tier brands quality wise. They have arguably the best warranty in the industry, including a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer (in the US at least).
If they fit your needs and the price is decent, is take a chance on Nexens.
Pros: reputable mid-range tire
I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)
Cons: suffer more in rain
These are the Nankang CRS tires, saw similar wear pattern from the RT660s as well (in fact that kind of just chunked away leaving rings of cords).
Cons: chunked away, rings of cords
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
3 unreparable flats in 1 winter (1 month and a half). I repeat: 3 FLATS!!!!!!
Pros: 3 flats in winter
Cons: 3 unreparable flats
Nankang CRS definitely is not top tier on Lincoln concrete. I'd honestly throw it below the RT660 on pace. Decent on asphalt and hot weather.
Pros: decent on asphalt
Cons: not top tier on concrete
