Since virtually all of my driving is on pavement, I went the running shoe route with a set of the Vredestein Hypertracs. They've been excellent, in the dry, the wet, and light snow.
If you do get new tires you should consider Vredestein Hi-Tracs. I replaced the oem bridgestones with these and they have been tremendous.
Ciao tutti, riprendo questo mio thread perché dopo un paio di giorni di ricerca avrei adocchiato le Nexen N'Fera SU4 XL che pare abbiano un buon rapporto qualità-prezzo (le ho trovate a 57€ l'uno). Tyre-reviews ha delle ottime recensioni a riguardo.
Got a flat replaced with a neven tire and it barely wore at all after 15000 miles, replaced the other 3 when they wore out with nexen tires and they grip well. No problems at all.
Changed mine to all season Vredesteins (Quatrac). Much better now.
You can look into Nexen. Korean brand. Not as cheap as the Chinese brands but not as expensive as the known brands. I fitted these on my Tiguan last year. Take my anecdotal experience with a grain of salt, but the ride felt quieter with the Nexens vs the Bridgestones it had on before.
If you have the 15" stock wheels, check out nexen npriz AH5. I got some off Amazon for my 65 riviera when I was stock height.
I had the Vredestein Sportrac 5 previously.
Positives:
+ Quiet and smooth ride
+ Very reliable on flooded highways
Negatives:
- Soft sides, tires looked deflated at the recommended pressure (2.2/1.9 bar - if the car is not loaded, which is most of the time). If I inflate more the drive gets extreme hard and uncomfortable.
I have not driven a lot of tires but wonder if that soft side somehow dampens accuracy?
- Surprisingly bad at braking on the dry, even at low speed in the city, they slide.
bought 4 nexen tires for my nissan sedan, read a couple of I suspect fake reviews and had them installed. The whole set, worst tires iv ever seen, I remember thinking how light they were when I picked them up, didnt think much more until I started having flat after flat. Got rid of them on the day of the 3rd flat.
Nexen Roadian GTX came with my 22 tucson and they’re almost down to nothing after 21k miles. And we woke up to a puncture this morning to top it off.
