vs
Tires Nexen or RIKEN
Nexen vote for me. They've held up pretty well here in MA.
Pros: held up pretty well
Nexen, depending on the model (avoid the CPxxx models otherwise excellent tires) are great tires and would be a lateral move from the RT43...
Pros: great tires, lateral move
Cons: avoid CPxxx models
I love my nexen nprix 8. Going to get another set soon.
Pros: love them, will buy again
I have been a big fan of Nexen tires for some time... Sent two kids to college on them in the Dakotas where conditions can be less than ideal. And we have used their winter tires, performance tires, and truck tires as well and I can say I don't really have any negatives to say for the price... They are solid, budget tires in the same league as Cooper, General, Falken, and Yokohama... They are not Michelins or Bridgestones, but they don't try to be either.
Pros: solid, budget tires
Cons: not Michelin or Bridgestone
Nexen winguard sport 2 have been just fine for me.
Pros: just fine
I put Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 on instead (they were on sale and had white letter sidewalls, I am old school) and honestly I haven't regretted it at all... I do some off-roading and deal with pretty severe winters and snow and the Nexens have been very good in those conditions and I have put a fair amount of interstate highway miles on them and they run nice and quiet.
Pros: nice and quiet, very good
I went with the Nexens and have been very pleased.
Pros: very pleased
I bought them last year and they are alright. I am not a very enthusiastic driver though. They are less sticky than my cooper all season tires on dry roads but brake much better on snow than my all seasons.
Pros: brake better on snow
Cons: less sticky on dry
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.
Pros: better grip
Cons: sliding sideways
IMO those tires were bottom of the barrel. I would just replace.
Cons: bottom of the barrel
Mileage: 10000 km
