Tires Nexen or WEST LAKE
I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: ride was harsh, stiff
Vehicle:
MINI
Last set of tires I bought were by Nexen.... pretty good tire, wore well.... got about 36k on them, will be due for new in the fall.
Pros: pretty good tire, wore well
Mileage: 36000 km
Get Roadstones which are made by Nexen. I use them on a remapped (300bhp) 3 litre diesel BMW and they are great in both the dry and the wet.
Pros: great in dry and wet
Vehicle:
BMW
I had *Continental MaxContact 5* 2015 that lasted me 2016-2019. In 2020, I moved over to *Nexen N’fera AU7* (2019) on an extremely good deal. I’ll have you know, i’ve put down 90k highway kilometers on this rubber and it still drives great.
Pros: drives great, good deal
Mileage: 90000 km
I've found 40 psi to be a good pressure and I've had the Kona nearly 5 years, original Nexens. Sharpens up the handling over the recommended pressure.
Pros: sharpens up the handling
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I ran the original SUR4, enjoyed it but shoulder came apart in 16 runs on my HS car. Tried the Sport R on my ES car this year and enjoyed it. Only other tire I've had on it was the V730, and the Nexen was a little better all around.
Pros: better all around
Cons: shoulder came apart
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
I’m running 225/45/18 Nexen Winguard Sport 2 Winters with 18x8 NS1502
I have cheap Chinese I think, Nexan tires on my GTI because thats what the dealer put on the car. The ride real smooth, very quite and after 2 years and 20k miles they just wont' wear out. Probably have another 20k miles left to them. The wet grip is awful though. Dry grip is good.
Pros: smooth ride, very quiet
Cons: awful wet grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
I had a set of Chinese "Westlake" ST tires, load E, and got 15k miles out of them (16 months) before tread separation. I replaced with Goodyear Endurance ST.
Cons: tread separation
Mileage: 24140 km
Westlakes are some of the worst tires you can buy. If you need cheap tires, stick to General, BFgoodrich, or Hankook. Don't buy shit tires, you're placing your life in the hands of a ultra cheap Chinese tire brand that makes tires that failed German tire safety tests.
Cons: worst tires you can buy
