Tires Nexen or NANKANG
Spend the money on a really good set of fronts. Nexen SUR04
Pros: really good set
I've been quite happy with my Nexens on my E39. They're quiet and smooth. Oh yeah, grip in the snow is quite good too.
Pros: quiet, smooth, good snow grip

I run Nexen N'Fera SU1 tires on my GTI in the summer: https://www.nexentireusa.com/tires/high-performance/n-fera-su1 Best budget tires I've ever tried. They are wearing nicely, grip in dry and wet is great. I was VERY surprised about the wet weather performance. I'd buy them again and again, no questions asked.
Pros: wearing nicely, great dry grip, great wet grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
yes really, quiet, grips just fine for a daily driver golf, and cheap ($224 for the set) I spent more money on my first set of tires, and realized i didn't need them. These fit my need perfectly.
Pros: quiet, grips just fine
Cons: cheap
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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
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:

I've been impressed with the Nankang NS-2R in 120tw and in 180tw. Would definitely recommend giving them a go if you burn through tires quickly. 265/35/18 120tw on the TSW worked very well and I ran them on the street between events. Strong sidewalls, even better than the RS3 at the limits, and very durable.
Pros: strong sidewalls, very durable
Cons: burn through tires quickly
I have the N5000's on my Classix for my Summer wheels, They are OK, Feel better than the stock Contis on the steelies I use in the winter But not the best in the Wet, If its rainning, I can easily get them to spin.... When they wear, I probably won't buy them again . . . J
Pros: better than stock Contis
Cons: not best in wet, easily spin
Part number: N5000
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
lol i wanna know too, my nankangs wore way to fast for me.
Cons: wore way to fast
