Tires Nexen or Uniroyal
I have had one set of the Tiger Paws. Was very happy with them. Didn't feel mushy, cornering vastly improved over the Michelin tires.
I had a set of those in 31x10.5x15. I really liked them. I kept the pressures around 25-27 psi had them for almost 30k miles.
Tires: uniroyaal sport Rain.
Spend the money on a really good set of fronts. Nexen SUR04
I've been quite happy with my Nexens on my E39. They're quiet and smooth. Oh yeah, grip in the snow is quite good too.
I run Nexen N'Fera SU1 tires on my GTI in the summer: https://www.nexentireusa.com/tires/high-performance/n-fera-su1 Best budget tires I've ever tried. They are wearing nicely, grip in dry and wet is great. I was VERY surprised about the wet weather performance. I'd buy them again and again, no questions asked.
GM used to put Uniroyal Tiger Paws on their trucks, and I don't know what the number was, but it must've been high because those damn tires last forever and still looked brand new. I think I finally tossed them at 120K miles.
The N3000 is ok. Had them on my A4 Avant when I bought it. Dry grip is pretty good, and they do ok in the wet, too. Definitely lacking in grip compared to something like PS2s but not bad. Sidewall is moderately soft and they wear quicker than expected.
I have some Nexen tires on a Kia Optima and all four are "out of round" with only 17k Miles. Like riding on square block. Crappy tires!
These tires have 17k miles on them in the city and are completely useless now. It feels like I am driving in my Jeep offroad. The car literally pitches and rolls at low speeds; at highway speeds it vibrates badly.
