Tires Nexen or Uniroyal
Nexen is amazing.....I drove above 200kph many times without any issues.
Pros: amazing, no issues
Vehicle:
Toyota
I use Nexen Roadian RA8 tires on my Tahoe and love them. $130 a piece for 265/75r16. I get a lot of snow where I live and they haven't let me down.
Pros: love them, good in snow
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Tahoe
We have a base model with no snow mode, but I've had a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw "Ice & Snow 3"'s on for the last few Winters, and they performed pretty well. I never felt unsafe, even driving through some pretty sketchy stuff.
Pros: performed pretty well
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I ended up getting an Uniroyal summer tire for it as it was considerably cheaper than the Conti. Anyway, from tests I gathered that it is supposed to be top tier in wet condition and mid at best in dry. I have used for over a year now as my situation changed and ended up keeping the Corolla for the time being. I used it around 15k km so far in wide variety conditions, from 0 Celsius up to 40 and so far have zero issues. There is no sign of wear and tear, thread is still deep, no dry rot and driving never felt unsafe or had any other issues.
Pros: top tier in wet
Cons: mid in dry condition
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 15000 km
FWIW, I have the Nexen AT Pro RA8 on my truck because my size for the Cooper's was backordered at the time and after 2 years I don't regret my purchase at all and will likely get Nexen truck tires again
Pros: don't regret purchase
Very few manufacturers have a solid warranty that is actually usable in this regard, however one of the best warranties in the industry is from Nexen.
Pros: best warranties in industry
The Nexens on my 70’ Beetle work great. No need to pay more.
Pros: work great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
Where I live there are grooves cut in the highway and Uniroyal tires are particularly susceptible to tracking on those grooves. Otherwise I’ve had pretty good luck with them.
Pros: pretty good luck
Cons: susceptible to tracking
I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.
Pros: better grip
Cons: sliding sideways
I've had Uniroyals for a bit more than a year now, and honestly I'm not so impressed. I find it they lack grip in heavy cornerring, and also the 1st gear spins like mad if you try to step on it.
Cons: lacks grip, spins easily
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
