    Default Nexen Tires.....GOOD or BAD??

    Saw these posted for an unbelivebly LOW price...and wondered.

    Are these tires:
    1)LOUD
    2)Ride quality, Good or Bad
    3)Treadwear, Good or BAD
    4)Wet weather driving, Good or BAD

    Pls let me know, as Ive never ridden on a set, but Im leaning towards them because they are cheap, and the tread pattern looks good.

    Thanks

    I have a set that came with my rims..

    tires seem to be pretty good.

    not loud at all, ride quality is good
    treadwear is very good. just rotated after 10,000km this summer and barely made a dent.

    in the wet they are well behaved.

    good overall tire for the price.

    I got 20" Nexens and so far nothing to complain about, I even have hardcore camber because of my air ride, and the tread wear is still awsome.

    3)Treadwear, Good or BAD - seems to be pretty good thus far
    4)Wet weather driving, Good or BAD - Decent in the rain too. Equal to the Kumho 712's I had.

    Bought them for a cheap tire to last me the summer before I use the rims they're on for winter tires. Happy with the results.

    Yeah I got em too'... 17's in 40series.. Mine came with a bit of wear on the inner side of one and a bit of the second tire.. But back on my car now and they are level again and not wearing really.. Not noisy... And I've been in a few heavy rains and haven't had them skip around on me, but I also was cautious as I'm new to these low pros.. Over all I didn't know what to expect because I had never heard of them, and I used to also work for michelin, but these things have proven to me they are worth their low price, so far...

    these are the 3000's I'm talking about, they are even a good looking tire, with a sporty tread to em':

    For R18s they cost around $175 a piece compared to Michelin PSport for $495.... but that being said, I know Michelin has way better rating... no doubt!! But I think I can always choose or cheaper tires as I just use the car 95% on city driving...

    My buddy has been using some 3000s for the last couple seasons and he loved them. I was close to picking up a set but i wanted to try the kuhmos out.
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    I have a set of nexen tires on my car right now, not a single complaint thus far.

    -They're not loud

    -The ride quality is good

    -Treadwear is still pretty good

    -They drive very well in the rain

    We are one of the largest distributors of nexen rubber here at contemporary and you have to take the nexen tires for what they are. are they a good, affordable harder compound tire?? yes, they are. but dont buy nexens expecting a crazy super sticky drag radial like some people do. we sell so many nexen tires here and have had very few complaints for the ammount of tires that we sell. for me, this is one of the few tires that you get more than what you pay for, youll get a good z-rated tire that will keep you happy for quite a while for a price that is uncomparable to most z rated tire prices. so if you spend alot of time crusing around the city and do a little performance driving every once and a while and dont have huge baller pockets, nexen tires are perfect.
