vs
Tires Nexen or OEM BMW
Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.
Pros: good tire for price
Cons: ride a little soft
Compared to all previous sets they a very quiet and drive very smooth, they feel kind of spongy if that makes any sense.
Pros: very quiet, drive smooth
Cons: feel kind of spongy
But my go to tire in this space is Nexen... Nexen N5000 Platinum should be under $600 out the door with mount, balance, and taxes, a solid 70k mile all-season tire.
Pros: solid all-season tire
I had a set of Nexen Aria A7's on my GMC Terrain, I got 52,000 miles out of them and they gripped just fine and were quiet. For the money they are a good tire. They are a Korean brand, not some fly-by-night Chinese garbage brand.
Pros: good tire, gripped fine
Mileage: 83686 km
All are legit, and I would also vouch for Nexen. I put a set of Aria AH7 on my '19 Fusion, and they are quite nice for the price.
Pros: nice for the price
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
Part number: AH7
A car I bought had fairly new Nexen tires on it. They lasted 75,000 miles, were quiet, and had decent traction in the rain (Florida).
Pros: quiet, decent rain traction
Mileage: 120700 km
Nexen makes some really good tires... I have used the N5000 Platinum and Plus, and the Roadian HTX and they have been excellent...
Pros: really good tires, excellent
I have cheap Chinese I think, Nexan tires on my GTI because thats what the dealer put on the car. The ride real smooth, very quite and after 2 years and 20k miles they just wont' wear out. Probably have another 20k miles left to them. The wet grip is awful though. Dry grip is good.
Pros: smooth ride, very quiet
Cons: awful wet grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
I have nexen tires on my ram truck I have had two almost brand new tires bulge apart on that truck. They are in fact junk tires.
Pros: bulge apart
Cons: junk tires
The run flat tires are terrible. They feel like they are made of concrete and the grip is very lacking.
Cons: terrible grip, concrete feel
Vehicle:
BMW
