vs
Tires Nexen or NANKANG
I've been running a set for 3+ years now. City driving of 40km daily. Tread is still good and road noise is non existent.
Pros: good tread, no road noise
Replaced my OE Pirelli P-Zeros for Nankang CS-R tires! Super grippy and wonderful feedback!
The P-Zeros only lasted 6k miles on aggressive camber. I hope the Nankangs last close to that, but I don’t have my hopes up.
Pros: super grippy, wonderful feedback
Cons: short lifespan (Pirelli)
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 6000 km
Nexen is good and reasonably priced.
Pros: good, reasonably priced
I ran nexen Sport R, they’re a tick off pace of the hot 200tw (RE71RS, CRSv2, A052) but they’re super consistent across a 30 minute lapping session and I was getting 5-6 days out of a set.
Pros: super consistent, long lasting
Cons: slightly slower
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
I recommend Nexen. They are good quality Korean brand. My Kia Cerato has them.
Pros: good quality
Vehicle:
Kia Cerato
They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.
Pros: cheap, good as main brands, no problems
They aren't top tier but they aren't completely garbage either. Good tire if you're not trying to break the bank
Pros: good tire, affordable
Cons: not top tier
BFG is definitely a class above the Nexen. Sure Nexen has never issued a recall but they make very mid car tires imo, underrated truck tires tho and excellent quality control.
Pros: excellent quality control
Cons: very mid car tires
Cheapest brand I ever used was the Nankang NS-2, understeered everywhere and wore out in 2 years
Cons: understeered everywhere, wore out
Part number: NS-2
This one came with Nexen tires that were brand new when I purchased the truck. To be honest, these were the worst tires I have ever owned. Well, I have had a lot of issues in rain where these totally loose traction in the rain going perfectly straight. Didn't matter how fast I was traveling. The final straw was with my wife in light rain and a slightly wet road, turning onto an onramp at about 30mph and the entire rear end started sliding like we were on ice, without me trying to accelerate yet.
Pros: loose traction in rain
Cons: worst tires ever owned
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
