Tires Nexen or Sailun
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.
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.
They have solid pricing, I got a set of Nexen tires last year and they rock.
I decided to invest in some snow tires (Nexen Winguard Sport 2) to swap out the all seasons once the snow hits and that was also a win!
My Nexen winter tires are fantastic. Highly recommended
Been happy with my nexen winter tires so far, did great in snow last couple weeks
The R01 is super slippery, though it can work to your advantage for whipping the car around cones. It can work well as a daily tire that you can use for autocross.
Currently gamit ko sailun RO1. Been using them for about a year pero agad naupod. City driving (Combination of Asphalt and concrete) and occational sprited driving.
What kind of winter tires are those? Look more like summer tires with sipes and studs in them.
Edit: Did a Google Lens and found them. Sailun Ice Blazer WST3.
The reviews I found absolutely slaughtered them. A car owner organization here had never tested worse tires when they tried them back in 2019 heh.
Either way those were probably gone last season as well. I never drive with less than 3mm of thread depth on mine.
And they were overinflated as the wear is mostly in the middle.
My car has a bad tramlining habit when driving on those grooved concrete highways that are common throughout Northern California. It basically feels like the back of the car is swerving back and forth erratically even though the other all track remains consistent. It’s really only on concrete highways that have the long grooves parallel to the road. I’m wondering if this is a characteristic of these particular tires or more of an alignment issue or if it’s an overall ev6 thing. I’d actually consider replacing the tires before they’re worn out because I’m so sick of the behavior, but I don’t want to find myself dealing with the same issue on new, different tires. This is with the 19 inch wheels with the Nexen Nfera OEM tires.
