vs
Tires Nexen or NANKANG
I have them. I used to have a Michelin PS4S, which lasted about 24k miles before my front tires basically have no treads left (1.5/32 I think). Difference is stark, in terms of noise in highway. NS-25 is just so much quieter and I realized I can hear my podcasts without raising the volume to where it used to be. In terms or ride quality, I can definitely feel that it is ever so slightly more firmer than the PS4S, but I didn't actually check what tire pressure my tire shop put them on as, so it's subjective I suppose. road feel and grip, albeit I did not push them too much, isn't that bad.
Pros: quieter ride, good grip
Cons: slightly more firmer
Mileage: 24000 km
FWIW, I have the Nexen AT Pro RA8 on my truck because my size for the Cooper's was backordered at the time and after 2 years I don't regret my purchase at all and will likely get Nexen truck tires again
Pros: don't regret purchase
Very few manufacturers have a solid warranty that is actually usable in this regard, however one of the best warranties in the industry is from Nexen.
Pros: best warranties in industry
The Nexens on my 70’ Beetle work great. No need to pay more.
Pros: work great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
They were absolutely excellent rear tires for a RWD with a lot of power in a snowy climate with a jumpy driver. Zero issues with slippage, balance, wear pattern, etc. since installed in December. 10k miles later and I found them flat with a hole in my parking lot at work, and a plug would not hold, big bummer.
Pros: zero issues with slippage
Cons: found flat with hole
Mileage: 10000 km
They are budget friendly and reliable. I'm using for the past 5 years.....have driven at high speeds for long distances and hot climate.....felt very comfortable.
Pros: budget friendly, reliable
Vehicle:
Toyota
Have a buddy that owns a tire shop and ran these for a a few years to put his money where his mouth was since he was recommending them to his customers. He said they were no Michelins, but were well worth the price. Seemed to hold up pretty well and his only real complaint was noise. Moreso as they got on in age, but otherwise, he thought they were better than decent. :thumbup:
Pros: well worth price, held up well, better than decent
Cons: noisy, more so with age
I ran some a few years ago. The road noise was pretty bad though.
Cons: bad road noise
Mine didn’t even last a full summer
Not comparable to the oem continentals, I preferred my beefier all seasons to the nexens.
Pros: none
Cons: did not last
Had one of mine pop on the way to my new job on the other side of the country- only 5k on some N’priz AH8s (70k warranty) replaced back in October.
Cons: dealer paperwork difficult
Mileage: 5000 km
