Tires Nexen or Uniroyal
I had the Nexen Winguard Sport (not the 2) on my 2019 Mustang GT. I drove that car (RWD, manual, 460 hp) for 3 winters on those tires and never had any problems.
Pros: no problems, good performance
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
We use Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on our Focus RS AWD... they work very well... they are good tires and punch well above their price level in terms of performance and longevity.
Pros: work very well, good performance
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
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.
Pros: good quality for price
Cons: not the best tires
I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Saab
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.
Pros: good tire for price
Cons: ride a little soft
Compared to all previous sets they a very quiet and drive very smooth, they feel kind of spongy if that makes any sense.
Pros: very quiet, drive smooth
Cons: feel kind of spongy
But my go to tire in this space is Nexen... Nexen N5000 Platinum should be under $600 out the door with mount, balance, and taxes, a solid 70k mile all-season tire.
Pros: solid all-season tire
I've used Nexen All Seasons and they weren't bad, not the best tires but for the price they were pretty good.
Pros: pretty good for price
Cons: not the best tires
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
My dad complained about his Uniroyal tires ---way back in *1984*--- when he bought his Chevy Silverado.
Cons: crap
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
If you are going for less than 40 thickness, dont buy cheap. For example, 235/20/35 nexen is bad, very bad. I had it and went for a check up and found out a bulge growing like a tumor on the inner side of the tire.
Cons: bulge growing like tumor
