Fiat (195/55 R15) on mostly town for 1,000 miles
I bought the tires on the recommendation of my vulcanizer. I must mention that I reviewed the reviews after that and they helped me a lot to choose a set of these tires for my car. My first impression is that the tires are quiet, comfortable and very affordable. I drive mostly city and intercity driving. The tires are new and I drove them mostly in the dry, once they were driven in the rain and I have to say I am happy with how they behave. When I do more kilometers I will be able to say something more about tires. So far I am very satisfied and would buy them again.

Tire's done 8000 miles, all 4 cracked on the tread allover. MOT failure apparently. Still got 5mm of tread left out of the 8mm when New. Going back to the dealer next week to be changed for Avon tires. Do Not buy .

Awesome summer tires. Bought a new pair, mounted on rear axle. These are now made in Czech Republic but same are like those I had from S.Korea. These are not V-indexed, only H, and labeled B+C but 66dB, perfectly quiet tires!! Top comfort for harder trimmed car like my Ibiza. ...Ran with them about 1000 km, for now are excellent. I will buy it again and again,good price, good tire!

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Suzuki Splash SZ4 (185/60 R15) on mostly town for 17,000 average miles
After 3 years and 25.000km, the braking distance has deteriorated and the handling in slippery tarmac needs attention.They haven’t become dangerous, not at all. But It seems that they are a little less durable than the average norm. I read on this site that the Chech made version of this Tire isn’t as good. Since the ones available were Chech made, I finally opted for the Kleber Dynaxer 4.

I had two sets of Michelin energy before and Nexen since 2015 and still going on. For a smooth ride they are excellent, quiet and comfortable and i never get in trouble in the wet, braking is always save. Maybe best buy for the money, if you are not a sporty driver.

I had these tires fitted on my Golf based on the recommendation of the tire fitter. They were fantastic! gripped well. Incredibly progressive, fairly quiet but not the most comfortable tire. I forgave the comfort as it isn't a proper eco tire with the super soft sidewalls. Due to mindless vandalism, I had to have one of my tires replaced one week after getting a full set (sigh)... on closer inspection, I noticed that the new tire was date coded early in this year and instead came from Czech Republic (the other 3 were from Korea)... After some research and a phone call to the tire fitter, I was told not to worry, as the rubber quality was the same... Oh how wrong was I! The newer tire wore faster than the other 3, and also suffered from tread 'chunking' and 4 nasty bubbles that occurred after a 120 mile trip back to S Wales. I thought nothing of it and once the tire wore close to the limit, My trusted tire fitter immediately suggested I change them as I was on borrowed time... After changing my tires he showed me how thin those bubbles actually were on the top of the tread... I have used Nexen's for a while and, as such disappointed in the new, low quality control of these tires.... I replaced with Nankang's and hope that they will prove a better replacement... Buy these new 'Czech' made tires at your risk...

I have these tires since 2018, and i used them app 15000km. I do not have any compliant for driving in wet or dry. Are not noizy, with a good confort. I do not see any differences between them and premium tires.
I highly recommend it.

Location of use: Croatia / Climate: warm summers with shower rains, rainy autumns with cold mornings and nights, warm springs with shower rains, rainy and snowy winters
After more than six months with this tires, all I can say about them are good words. Dry grip is just perfect, I had some really close breaking and Nexen hadn't let me down. Wet grip is also very good, I didn't experienced any aquaplaning at all. It endure even heavy rains very good. You can enter fast in turns on the road and handling is very reliable. The tires are soft with soft sides, so you can feel some squirm in fast and strong turns. If you don't like that feeling, I suggest XL version of this tire with stronger sides. But, at the end, they manage to control it easy. Because of its softness, I presume that they wear in some higher rate. So far, so good. They are very quiet.
All in all, definitely I would buy again this tire or some other from Nexen. Also I recommend this tires to everyone because they are excellent budget tires with some high performance premium characteristics.
Compare: better than Sava tires (Goodyear, Slovenia/Poland) in same price range, better than Tigar and Taurus (Michellin, Serbia/Hungary).

Great wet braking!! Silent, and in 30000kms the tires are in +/- 50%. Very good quality with low price!

Given 96% while driving a SEAT Ibiza 1.4 Sportrider (195/55 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 13,000 miles
Satisfied.Very good tires. I've bought first pair in 2016 and second in 2017. I saw test review in Auto Bild 2015 summer tire test. They took 4th place and were better than some majors...Bought it because Seat Ibiza is a harder trimmed car and with these soft tires I compensate bumpy cracked roads here in Serbia and Hungary. Very soft,good handling,quiet....we were 4 times in Greece during a hot summer and they made about 25.000 km. First tires that were fitted on Ibiza were Dunlop Sport 2000 and were very bad and so hard and they were losing they diameter after 10.000km....and only I can say that Nexens are awesome. Good in braking,good on highway and local way and good in curves,only problem is a bit higher wear because they are soft but for me quite ok...My recommendations. I'll buy them again. Mid range,not premium but are very close.

They are decent tires on both dry and wet, but if they’re pushed a little bit to hard the tires will lose grip.
One of the downsizes of these tires, is tire wear.. after 10.000 km I found some nasty ruptures ( 3-4 cm long) along the rolling surface and also the tires started wobbling .
