They were recently fitted to a 2017 mitsubishi space star 1.2 to replace the unacceptable Kumho Solus 4S HA32 noise problem that sounded like crawlers. And they didn't deny me. With a noise level of 66db it is one of the quietest tires regardless of size that you can fit. As the car is mainly used in the city I will come back soon with my personal assessment of the dry and wet handling in more representative conditions.

Grip in both wet and dry seem acceptable but significant cracking on tire shoulder is a real worry. Tires have a date code that suggest they are 3.5 years old. They have covered about 10k miles and have about 4mm tread remaining. The cracks appear deep and are between and on top of the tread blocks on the outer shoulders only. I haven’t claimed on the Nexen warranty because I don’t want Nexens again.

As my Falken ZIEX ZE914 EcoRun needed replacement, and I wanted more comfortable tire, I decided to give it a try with these tires because I was positively surprised with winter Nexen Winguard Snow G Wh2. First of all, I was little bit sceptical when I saw that they are produced in Czech Republic (winter ones Winguard Snow G Wh2 were produced in Korea), and speed index is ''V'', thread depth is around 6,5 mm, but as soon as I started driving over few bumps, I noticed that compound is much more softer than on Falken, and they are very quiet. On the opposite side if you push them to limit, side walls are also very soft and they will start to squeal. Ride is very safe in dry and wet, and you will have much confidence driving on them, especially enjoying on motorways in quiet and in comfort over the bumps. They are not sharp and precise on steering wheel like Falken, but they are like bubble gum, they stick to the road, so wear is going to be higher, but I wanted that. This is not sport tire, they are excellent choice if you are looking for safe touring tire, and you appreciate comfort and quietness over sportiness. Don't get me wrong, you can drive sporty and safe on them, but you will wear them very quickly. For the price, and for my wehicle I'm very satisfied.

I left a previous reveiw earlier in the tires' lives....and now i'm updating the long term view. At 63,500 km the four main tires are at 2mm tread remaining, so need to replace them. Spare is at 6mm. If i had started rotating in the spare from early on, the 5 tires may have made it to about 70,000km. Anyways, i can't find them to buy in my country, so i may have to get Firestone AS or Kumho Ecstas to replace them. No way am i buying Westlake or even Triangle if i can help it. I like my life, and my car needs good shoes to keep me safe.

Had these for ca. 6 years and about 50-60k km, and only recently went for shredding. Can't say a bad word about them, having in mind that it is not sporty tire for horse power packed cars. Never had any major problems on dry or wet road, city or motorway speed. Even when worn the still produced reasonable traction and handled well on corners. Wears evenly, and ageing evenly ;) Yes, some may say a bit noisy, yes, on wet a bit worse than on dry (not a surprise as most tires will have same issue - wet road? Slow down a bit, simple), but overall excellent tires, great value for money! Comparing to Pirelli P7 I've had before? Nexen wins in wear (P7 were dissapearing with every 1k km) and no major difference in all other aspects. Now it's time for n'fera su4 - will see if they are 'better' as reviews suggest.

The tire has no sound and no noise, it is perfect for the person looking for comfort tires, no noise and sound. But the brake of this tires is really very bad.

Purchased in Jan 2020 as my 2 front tires and 22K miles later they need replacing ! Too soft and evenly worn to the legal limit - not great wear on these !

having read ALOT of reviews about these tires before buying them in january 2021, I had a good idea what to expect. I have to say for the first couple hundred miles i thought I had made a terrible mistake as they felt hard and slipy on the road, but they soon wore in and have been very good tires. overall they have been good. they have worn well and kept straight on the road. good handling at all speeds although I never went more than 100mph. grip is not so good in the wet than the dry but if you not racing or rallying and driving sensibly they are absolutely fine. I would certainly buy these again if I can find a set. I would not recommend these tires for hard/fast driving. I'm only changing these tires as i have about 2mm left on the tread.

I am happy with the tires in terms of very good comfort, quiet. I have run normally, and not very high speed and very good response. The downside is that they wear out very quickly! After driving about 7-8000 km, the tread depth is now 4 mm! I have these tires on the front wheels, and another brand on the rear wheels. Maybee i can drive 12-13000 km total? (Then I take into account the pattern depth of 1.6 mm.) If i want to drive safely, I will probably replace the tires when the tread depth is 3 mm.

Dissapointed. These are cheap, but not worth it. On hot days, you don't even have to go fast, and all you'll be hearing is the tires squeaking while losing grip. That makes them unusable to me as a summer tire.

I got these tires as OEM on my 2020 KIA Rio Hatchback. I previously had a 2019 Rio with the same tires. Did over 9,000 miles on the 2019, but have so far done 22,360 miles on the 2020, and they are in great condition still. The Dry performance continues to be great for an H rated tire, I don't drift or do burnouts (only 100 HP) so i dont't know how that would go LoL. What i can say for sure is the car tracks dead straight, and doesn't go wandering with every road imperfection (vertical cracks). The tires will tell you exactly what kind of tarmac you are on (audible) but does not make a sound on their own (smooth tarmac is whisper quiet with windows up). My car has numb steering so the sound is helpful. When new, you can easily go twice as fast in the rain on a smooth highway compared to others (i never went above 110 km in the rain), but naturally in a thunderstorm, you better go based on visibility and common sense. Had to pull a 4" nail once from a front left (passed an inner city furniture shop way too often, it was a shortcut), but the tires only kept losing pressure for weeks but never flattened or blew out, till i realized it was in there (doing 75 MPH regurlarly). I only needed to get it plugged. Very safe tires. I've even gone "off-road" in them, dirt tracks and rocky rain-damaged country roads, no cracks or nothing. Tuff tires for the money. The wet traction will not be as good as the tread goes down (simple physics), but the car still behaves predictably and has never snapped. I only rotated criss cross after 9,000 miles. I know, i just forgot dealerships don't rotate them for you (went to a tire shop when i saw the front in-tread sipes disappear). Please note, they are bi-directional, but have an inside and outside wall, so pay attention. To prolong tires, make sure to have them "oiled", and rebalanced during rotation. Don't be cheap just because the tires are. Also, you can tell how the water drainage goes by how deep the sound of the water is. High pitch is minimal water, but deeper pitch means too much, so slow down. But if you're in a luxury vehicle, you may not hear anything so....good luck with that. I may have to choose a different tire when these go off, mainly because they may be hard to find, and i want better tread life expectancy, as these are UTQG 360. Still, if that's average for AA traction then i guess not bad. I will buy again if i can find them newly made AND the price is still low (for e.g. the 185\65\R15 is a US$70 tire (don't overpay). In case you're wondering, i'm driving these in JA, which has some of the oldest roads ever, tires go through a lot, when not on the highways.
