vs
Tires Nexen or RIKEN
I just put a set of nexen all weathers on they werent too pricey and theyre pretty good in the snow
Pros: pretty good in snow
Cons: werent too pricey
Different car now but I have Nexen NBlue 4Season 2 on my 2012 xB. South Pass, WY was covered in snow last night and I couldn't for the life of me get those tires to slip.
Pros: tires don't slip
In my experience the best bang for your buck summer tire is the Riken Raptor. They're about $100 a pop and have great dry grip. Downside is that they're not amazing in very wet conditions.
Pros: great dry grip
Cons: not amazing in wet
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Riken Raptor ZR A/S RF. These tires were under $400 for a SET (about $86 per tire). 300tw. Aggressive tire pattern. And they are a solid performer for canyon carving. I drove them about 4000 miles over a week this past summer around MATG including some pretty aggressive backroad driving and they held up VERY well. Insanely well given the price.
Pros: solid performer, aggressive pattern
Cons: grip suffers a bit
Mileage: 4000 km
I had some on a Kia Soul. They were fine. Lasted 45,000 miles. If I was on a tight budget I would look at them.
Pros: lasted 45,000 miles
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
Mileage: 72420 km
I have no experience with this specific tire but I do know that a lot of Nexen tires I've seen previously wear rather fast.
Cons: wear rather fast
Eu am Riken Snow pe mașina de la lucru, pe uscat zici că e pe șine, nu zice pâs dar pe ud am niște emoții de nu-i adevărat ???? nu doar odată era să fac piruete cu ea la viteze de nimic și stai că astea-s bune că am avut pe masina de la lucru inainte un set blanao de viatti brina, dădeam scârb 1-2-3 pe ud cu 1.4 aspirat, babaiatule...
Pros: pe uscat zici ca e pe sine
Cons: emotii pe ud
Vehicle:
Suzuki Vitara
Absolutely horrendous. I bough a new 2024 Keep Wrangler with Nexen tires for rural mail delivery (a mixture of dirt and paved roads) back in October. When I hit 16,000 miles a couple months ago, the front left tire steel belt shredded and a hole bubbled through the middle of the tread creating a slow leak. The other three tire worn down to about 2/32" and were showing chunking and shredding as well. I submitted claims on these tires with Nexen. Their response was that I have overinflated the tires and that it was a. end of life issue.
Pros: slow leak
Cons: absolutely horrendous
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
Mileage: 25750 km
Ho montato 2 anni fa 4 pnematici nexen 215/70 r 15 c 107-109 (8 tele) su camper motorizzato Ducato 2,3 mj e quest'anno sono saltate le tele su 3 pneumatici.
Uno di questi a veicolo fermo, mi sono reso conto dopo pochi metri dalla partenza dalle vibrazioni del volante, altri due su strada durante la marcia, l'ultimo si è proprio sgonfiato pericolosamente per il distacco del rivestimento interno.
Io comprerei altri marchi
Pros: vibrazioni del volante
Cons: saltate le tele su 3
For future viewers, I purchased Nexans for my 2018 cruze. They have been on for less than 20k miles and are almost bald already.
Pros: almost bald already
Cons: almost bald already
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Cruze
Mileage: 32187 km
