Tires OEM Mazda or Nexen
I received a quote for four Nexen N’PRIZ GX tires. I’m curious to know if they’re good tires. I’ve been driving around 10,000 km per year in my car. I’m looking for a safe and reliable tire. Does anyone have any experience with Nexen tires?
Pros: safe and reliable
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
Mileage: 10000 km
I got a Mazda 2 with good winter tires , I'm in Calgary. It costs me almost nothing on gas, and I finish the week with way more money in my pocket. in my 40 years of life I've learned a FWD car with decent rubber will handle winter good as any suv.
Pros: good rubber, handles winter
Vehicle:
Mazda 2
I got two new tires Friday from Discount Tire, Nexen N Priz AH5. I made an appointment, and after tires, installation, and tire disposal fee it was $268 and I was in and out of there within the hour.
Pros: quick installation
I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price
Pros: fine in midwest winters
Cons: handled snow and ice
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have run them for the last 2 winters and they are great. Quiet, good handling and decent traction.
Pros: Quiet, good handling
Cons: Decent traction
I commuted 100 miles a day in my CX5 in snowy Maine. I had a 6speed manual transmission and snow tires and never had a problem.
Pros: no problems in snow
Vehicle:
Mazda
They aren't top tier but they aren't completely garbage either. Good tire if you're not trying to break the bank
Pros: good tire, affordable
Cons: not top tier
I consider Nexgen tires dangerous with oversteer especially with high center of gravity vehicles. Maybe it's the soft sidewall.
Pros: soft sidewall
Cons: dangerous with oversteer
This one came with Nexen tires that were brand new when I purchased the truck. To be honest, these were the worst tires I have ever owned. Well, I have had a lot of issues in rain where these totally loose traction in the rain going perfectly straight. Didn't matter how fast I was traveling. The final straw was with my wife in light rain and a slightly wet road, turning onto an onramp at about 30mph and the entire rear end started sliding like we were on ice, without me trying to accelerate yet.
Pros: loose traction in rain
Cons: worst tires ever owned
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
My '23 Versa came with Npriz S and it's labeled as "bad" by the dealership at 23k miles and now at 30k they aren't looking good at all to me. One just started a slow leak.
Pros: slow leak
Cons: labeled as bad
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 48280 km
