vs
Tires Nexen or SUNNY
I have the nexens on my golf R and they are perfectly serviceable winter tires. Would buy them again no problem
Pros: serviceable winter tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
We ran those Nexens for a few years on a Ford Focus RS AWD in winter and it's a solid tire... The Michelin is a better tire especially on ice, but for $150 less I would take the Nexens again. This is in ND, so winters can get pretty extreme and they perform well.
Pros: solid tire, performs well
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Bought my truck in 2019 at 55k miles with NEXEN tires, it’s 2024 98k miles and still in the green for discount tires tread chart (8/32”). I was told they are cheap tires but they’re quiet and have held up great.
Pros: quiet, held up great
Cons: cheap tires
Mileage: 157725 km
Been running them for 3 winters and they've been great.
Pros: great winter performance
Over the course of almost 10 years. I have found Nexen tires have always had better ride quality. Less wear issues. And don’t dry rot as quick as these big name brand tires.
Pros: better ride quality, less wear
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
nexen if u like that cc2 pattern. cheaper too. wrg5 if u deal with potholes.
Pros: cheaper
Nexen. They don’t do much marketing, but they make good tires and have one of the best included warranties.
Pros: good tires, best warranties
I will say they are a bit hard for an autocross tire (even at 200 tw), I would go Kuhmo instead.
Cons: bit hard
They should be replaced immediately. The nexen tires are crap.
Cons: crap tires
At my 35K (mi) scheduled maintenance, I was told I had 2/32 left on the OEM Nexens.
Cons: low tread left
Mileage: 56327 km
