Tires Nexen or OEM BMW
Been running Nexen Tires on my last '18 MQB and my current '21 MQB. These hold up great in the rain and in fast driving conditions. When it's raining regularly in Miami, I have never lost traction as these tires really grip the road.
Pros: great grip, hold up great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
HD thrust arms are an improvement without too much sacrifice. Better shocks as well. I’ve found tires make a huge difference with the E39.
Pros: huge difference with tires
Vehicle:
BMW
Narrow, low-profile tires aren't as forgiving over potholes, especially when riding on the 20" wheels.
Cons: not forgiving over potholes
Vehicle:
BMW
I had a set of Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on my Golf R and had no issues with them in Vancouver, BC winter.
Pros: no issues in winter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
One tyre brand I highly recommend which is cheap but performs pretty well is NEXEN
Pros: performs pretty well
Cons: cheap
I have only used their previous version, Winguard Sports. Can't complain about them. They are a performance winter, so snow and ice won't be as good as a Xice Xi3, blizzak ws-80 or Hakkapeliitta tire
Pros: Can't complain about them
Cons: snow and ice not great
I've only used the original winguard sports. Can't complain for the price and it's purpose. They never let me down in a blizzard...
Pros: good for the price
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
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
Those tires are Nexen N7000's. A few of my cheap clients ran those and N3000's on their cars, years ago, I'd say late 2000 early 2010's. Cracked sidewalls, deformed tires, bubbles in the sidewall, and ridiculous amounts of road noise after a season of use, poor grip in pretty much anything except hot dry asphalt. I hope you have better luck with them than some of my clients.
Cons: cracked sidewalls, deformed, bubbles, road noise, poor grip
And out of all the tires I've ever purchased, Bridgestone/Firestones have been the worst ( only exception were the FR710s on my Aura.) Followed by the garbage Nexens I had on the Optima.
Cons: the worst
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
