vs
Tires Nexen or WEST LAKE
Nexen vote for me. They've held up pretty well here in MA.
Pros: held up pretty well
Nexen, depending on the model (avoid the CPxxx models otherwise excellent tires) are great tires and would be a lateral move from the RT43...
Pros: great tires, lateral move
Cons: avoid CPxxx models
I oversteered on old Westlake tires just driving 40 kph on a damp road. I’ve had Dunlop DZ102 delaminate under high heat. Dunlop LM703 sidewall bulging issues without any impact.
I currently now run either Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Yokohama Advan AD09 for my cars. So much better grip, better build quality.
Pros: better grip, build quality
I love my nexen nprix 8. Going to get another set soon.
Pros: love them, will buy again
I have been a big fan of Nexen tires for some time... Sent two kids to college on them in the Dakotas where conditions can be less than ideal. And we have used their winter tires, performance tires, and truck tires as well and I can say I don't really have any negatives to say for the price... They are solid, budget tires in the same league as Cooper, General, Falken, and Yokohama... They are not Michelins or Bridgestones, but they don't try to be either.
Pros: solid, budget tires
Cons: not Michelin or Bridgestone
Rp18 is the best of the low budget tires.
Pros: best low budget tires
Nexen winguard sport 2 have been just fine for me.
Pros: just fine
Any tire sold in the us is safe to put on your car, the west lake rp18 is a knock off of a continental tire, I have heard good things about it in terms of value for money
Pros: value for money
I had 3 of my 4 Nexen tires give out on my new Volkswagen under 20k. Don't recommend
Pros: give out
Cons: give out
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 32187 km
Ah, west lakes, balance like shit like Rovelos. They’re a low cost low tier tire that dealers install to keep costs cheap overall.
Cons: low cost, low tier
