I whole-heartedly recommend the Nexen N5000 Platinums... They are not the best tires out there by any means, but punch way above their price category in quality.
I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.
Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.
Compared to all previous sets they a very quiet and drive very smooth, they feel kind of spongy if that makes any sense.
I have sailun eco range tires on my model 3 performance. They were I think. 860 installed for 4. Maybe less.
As a tire technician I’d suggest going with a set of sailun ice blazers
I put a set of the new Sailun e-tires on my M3. It's a new tire for this Chinese brand made specifically for EV's and their weight. Price is right, they are quiet on the highways.
I have cheap Chinese I think, Nexan tires on my GTI because thats what the dealer put on the car. The ride real smooth, very quite and after 2 years and 20k miles they just wont' wear out. Probably have another 20k miles left to them. The wet grip is awful though. Dry grip is good.
They will work good in the winter on ice and snow but they will suffer on dry conditions and the highway. I find that once you are driving over 50 mph (80km) they turn very unstable and very floaty. Also, they will be loud and cornering on dry pavement is pretty bad.
Those tires are Nexen N7000's. A few of my cheap clients ran those and N3000's on their cars, years ago, I'd say late 2000 early 2010's. Cracked sidewalls, deformed tires, bubbles in the sidewall, and ridiculous amounts of road noise after a season of use, poor grip in pretty much anything except hot dry asphalt. I hope you have better luck with them than some of my clients.
