vs
Tires Nexen or OEM Toyota
Reviews
I received a quote for four Nexen N’PRIZ GX tires. I’m curious to know if they’re good tires. I’ve been driving around 10,000 km per year in my car. I’m looking for a safe and reliable tire. Does anyone have any experience with Nexen tires?
Pros: safe and reliable
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
Mileage: 10000 km
The new corollas have AWD. Throw winters on and youd be unstoppable.
Pros: AWD, unstoppable
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
I got two new tires Friday from Discount Tire, Nexen N Priz AH5. I made an appointment, and after tires, installation, and tire disposal fee it was $268 and I was in and out of there within the hour.
Pros: quick installation
I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price
Pros: fine in midwest winters
Cons: handled snow and ice
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have run them for the last 2 winters and they are great. Quiet, good handling and decent traction.
Pros: Quiet, good handling
Cons: Decent traction
Hilux (2018) - 185km with just tire, brakes and drive train (after 6 years)
Pros: reliable, minimal maintenance
Vehicle:

OEM Nexen on my Hyundai. Surprisingly great tires. I had always been a Michelin guy, but when the time comes I might get another set of Nexens, especially seeing their price.
Pros: surprisingly great tires
Cons: seeing their price
Vehicle:
Hyundai
They’re fine - I believe they’re made by nexen, and nexens are pretty solid mid tier tires. Not gonna wow you but definitely not dangerous like some of the cheap chinese junk out there.
Pros: pretty solid mid tier
Cons: not gonna wow you
I consider Nexgen tires dangerous with oversteer especially with high center of gravity vehicles. Maybe it's the soft sidewall.
Pros: soft sidewall
Cons: dangerous with oversteer
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
