Cons: acceptable in the wet

I bought these a while ago basically to store my B5 on; they have seen the road for about 200kms back and forth to the paint shop. No scratches, bends, rash, nothing. The tires are Nankang 215/35s and have some camber wear but could easily be used for the remainder of this season and next season.
Pros: no scratches, bends, rash
Cons: some camber wear
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 200 km
Little bit too late, but i ma using the same tyre now. First impressions are really good, its quiet and comfort, acting well also. For that price i think you cant beat them with anything.
Pros: quiet and comfort, acting well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat CC
Too late, I already got them installed and went with the Nexens. So far so good. Very smooth ride and no noise whatsoever!
Pros: very smooth ride, no noise
The N3000 is ok. Had them on my A4 Avant when I bought it. Dry grip is pretty good, and they do ok in the wet, too. Definitely lacking in grip compared to something like PS2s but not bad. Sidewall is moderately soft and they wear quicker than expected.
Pros: good dry grip
Cons: soft sidewall, quick wear
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I had Nexen N3000's on the S2000 when I purchased it. While I know they aren't N5000's, they seemed to have an odd reputation on message boards. The 3000's were deemed fairly acceptable for the first half of their tread life, but then horrid at the second half. They went from having a bit of grip to driving on frozen hockey pucks. Mine were already fairly worn on the S2000, and they were SCARY. They were promptly replaced with appropriate rubber for the car.
Pros: acceptable first half of life
Cons: horrid second half, scary grip
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
I had General's in that size on my old GTI. Awesome tires, but they've gone way up in price since then. After that, I had a set of the Nankangs. Crap tires and the road noise drove me insane. Would not recommend.
Pros: awesome tires (General)
Cons: crap tires (Nankang), insane road noise
