I’ve had really good Nexens, both all weather/snow. Sound better than stock, good handling - esp the snow tires
Picked up some Nexen Roadian GTXs that have served beautifully for about a year and a half and 24k miles. I’m a strong believer in middle of the pack tires. If you are going to go top notch, it’s Michelin or bust. Other than that, choose a decent tire for a middle of the road price.
I've had both Sailun and Nexen (2010 Audi A4 Avant) and had no issues, even with Autobahn driving.
Nexen vote for me. They've held up pretty well here in MA.
My first impression: way less road noise than the Duratracs. The Outpost Nat E's are maybe a little bit less fuel efficient than the standard Duratracs but not a huge amount -- 0.5mph on the highway, 1mph around town, maybe.
My dealer wanted $1600 to replace run flats and do the alignment. I went to a tire place and I got non run flats from Nokian and the ride is better, mileage is up a bit and it was $1150 all in
Nokian One is the closest I’ve found. Fantastic tire.
I got 2 nokian ones for my front and my car rides and corners sooo much more confidently. I have a good feeling that they're going to wear a million percent better than the economy ones they replaced.
You can take a bigger hit in tires alone. For instance, on my stock ContiProContacts, I average 27 mpg with 235/50r18 tires. Same size but with Nokian Z-line A/S, a tire that grips the road much better wet and dry, I'm lucky to hit 25 mpg, usually more like 22 mpg.
I am living in Alaska now, where studded tires are a common thing. After five years in Houghton, 3 winters w all-weather tires and 2 with winter tires and now with studded tires, driving a small-to-mid-sized SUV (VW Tiguan and Jeep Renegade), my verdict is that studded tires are overblown. I have the highest end studded tires- the Finnish ones made in Russia. They offer nothing over my all-weather tires. Nothing at all.
