Tires Toyo or Nexen
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.
Had a set of Toyo tires before on my honda jazz. Very satisfied with it. Lasted 6-7 years since low mileage lang yung car and never had any problems.
Toyo proxes sent me into a wall in the rain. 10/10 tire
my usual go to reccomendation for "an tyre" are Toyo proxes comfort at this moment in time, good levels of grip and they wear well for a mid range tyre
Personally, I'd go with Toyo Proxies CF2's. I find they are around the right budget and still get "enough" quality without straying towards the needlessly expensive ones.
I buy Toyo Proxes. They're ~$110/tire in my car's size and last 2-3 years (18,000-27,000 miles give or take).
Back when I had an Evo 8 I was running Toyo R888s, until they became too costly to run during daily driving, so I switched to Nankang NS2Rs.
I've sold a ton of Nexen tires and used them on all my loaner cars. I never buy the N5000's though. I stick to the Classe Premier line so CP641 and CP672 tires. I use them on my mother in law's Jetta and I have the Nexen Rodian HP on my Wife's MB R350. Decent tires. Not the best but for the price, they work very well.
Nexen is shit. Hyundai kia use them as their stock tires and they are absolute dogshit. Honestly 90% of their reputation for poor ride and handling. I popped one on a pothole. 3 mm sidewall thickness.
They will work good in the winter on ice and snow but they will suffer on dry conditions and the highway. I find that once you are driving over 50 mph (80km) they turn very unstable and very floaty. Also, they will be loud and cornering on dry pavement is pretty bad.
