Nexen CP672 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 12 reviews

The Nexen CP672 receives its clearest owner praise for tread life, supported by mid-life and end-of-life accounts with substantial mileage and remaining tread. Low noise, comfort and value also attract favorable comments. Grip is less consistent: dry grip draws both praise and criticism, while two early accounts strongly criticise wet grip despite favorable wet-weather experiences elsewhere. Those differences mean useful mileage should not be taken as evidence of dependable traction in all conditions. Later-life accounts also disagree on grip, rather than showing a uniform decline. Twelve reviews are available, four without a stage of use, leaving a general ageing pattern unresolved.

I've bought 4 Nexen p672 tires for my Hyundai Genesis, they slip when I put the pedal all the way down, triggering the Electronic Stability Control. I then don't recommend these tires. Tires are now at end of life, have them for three years and still have decent bands.

I tend to always buy in the $100-150NZD range for my cars, this is the first time I am removing tires from my vehicle for any reason other than wear. Pros: Comfort is improved over the Kuhmo and Yokohama sets I have had on the car. Dry grip is acceptable for the price point. Cons: Wet grip is terrible and the reason these tires are leaving my car after a week. The car even in damp conditions (not wet) either understeers or loses traction. Wheel spin on slight uphill starts is noticeable and the only tires I have this issue. These are the only tires I have had that I am removing from my car because they give me no confidence.

had these on all 4 corners of a 4007/Outlander/CCrosser for 26 months.
covered about 26000 miles.
Front wore at on edges possibly down to wheel alignment. and as a result need replacing now.
Center tread still at 3.5-4mm (well above tire wear indicators.)
still gripping well, just a little loss of confidence in feedback from steering at low speed.
country lanes and bends stick gripping well.
Rears, 26000 miles and counting, still going strong and plenty of tread left all across the tire.

Mostly rural driving and motorways, no issues in the wet or icy conditions.
being a rural driver they inspire confidence in off tarmac situation, mud/grass/water. pulled many a car or van out of fields.
The 2017-2018 winter was the first time i got to try them in snow.. (after so 18months/18000 miles worn)
no drama, snow, ice, slush, even compacted polished snow on hills.

not sure how much is the tire or how much is the car..
not quite as confident in snow (going down hill) as i was in my old Freelander with Michelin Synchrones.
(though that was with hill descent on. 4007 doesn't have that.)
but certainly capable.

never been stuck yet, even when i thought i might be, even with worn front edges.
smooth and quiet at motorway speeds.

I am using this tire in my car (in UAE) for nearly 2 years. The surprise factor is its mileage till date. It is done 110K Kilometers and still running with good grip. I was using Maxxis before it and I did 80K with that.
