Tires Nexen or RIKEN
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
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
I've been running a set for 3+ years now. City driving of 40km daily. Tread is still good and road noise is non existent.
Pros: good tread, no road noise
Nexen is good and reasonably priced.
Pros: good, reasonably priced
BFG is definitely a class above the Nexen. Sure Nexen has never issued a recall but they make very mid car tires imo, underrated truck tires tho and excellent quality control.
Pros: excellent quality control
Cons: very mid car tires
I had no problems with my set but they seem to have worn down pretty quick after ~20k miles.
Pros: no problems
Cons: worn down quickly
Mileage: 32186 km
Uzeo sam pre 2 godine all season riken i za prvih godinu dana nisam primetio nista lose, medjutim od skoro su pocele da se ponasaju dosta lose, drze krivinu solidno dobro ali na gas i kocnicu proklizavaju bas dosta
Pros: drze krivinu solidno dobro
Cons: proklizavaju bas dosta
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
