vs
Tires Nexen or WEST LAKE
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
Those Nexen N5000+ are great but older models (been on the market for 10 or so years), they started phasing them out several years ago with only a few sizes remaining, and were largely replaced by the N5000 Platinum
Pros: very good tires
Cons: older models
Vouch for Nexen, using their summer performance tires and got a tire blew recently due to a pothole on highway , they approved my road hazard claim quick and sending me reimbursement for my tire. Satisfied and getting another for sure
Pros: approved road hazard claim
Cons: tire blew due pothole
When I had my Mk7 R, I put on Westlake winter tires and they were dirt cheap yet surprisingly very good.
Pros: dirt cheap, surprisingly very good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Just thought I’d share some initial impressions.
Car Details: 2020 Model 3 RWD
Original Tires: Michelin Primacy
Miles of original tires: 58,300
New Tires: Nexen N’Blue 4S2
Miles on new tires: 100-200
Road Noise
Nexen (N): quiet. I mean nothing at slow speeds and very light at hwy speeds.
Efficiency
N: Still early days, but all miles in the rain and with gusts from the recent hurricane (it’s not nearly hurricane force winds). Mainly highway this far and was around 250-260kwh.
Ride Quality
N: shockingly noticeable job absorbing bumps. Not like a new suspension, but takes the cringe out of small potholes and bumps.
Pros: quiet, absorbs bumps
Mileage: 200 km
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
Needing 4 new tires in my 2014 Honda Civic. Got quoted 400 mounted and balanced for a set of west lake tires.
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
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
