vs
Tires Nexen or OEM Audi
I had the Nexen N3000's for about 23,000 and they were pretty great tires. They were the best tire I've ever had in the wet, decently quiet, balanced well and wore like rocks. If you are looking for good tread life and cheap price then these are great. If you need something sticky, these won't do... I hardly ever drive hard but when I did I found the limits easily. I bought 4 225/40-18's at 67 bucks a piece and sold them 23,000 miles later for 100 bucks and the guy was floored b/c it looked like I never drove on them.
Pros: great in wet, quiet, balanced well, good tread life
Cons: not sticky, limits found easily
Mileage: 23000 km
Part number: N3000
When i bought my GTI 1.8T it came with the Nexen n3000 and personally i liked them the road handling was quite good and they seem to handle well in the wet also. The tread lasted me quite long and id say for about 14000 miles and they still had 6-7/32 tread left when i sold them. Honestly i am thinking of buying them again!
Pros: good road handling, good wet handling, long tread life
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 14000 km
I put on the nexens yesterday and they seem to handle well. There is hardly any road noise on the highway and for the price i can't complain.........
Pros: handle well, low road noise, good value
My car on 15x8's is sporting 195/50 15's and the tires are slightly stretched-- not too stretched in my opinion but just help to round out the sidewall a bit
Pros: round out the sidewall
Cons: slightly stretched
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
