I have purchased set of nexen tires for my 4x4,I was told these are very good tires and have Michelin technology behind them,after 3 months I noticed a cut in one of the tires,I thought I might have hit the wheel somewhere so got it changed,even though I could not remeber hitting it anywhere and I'm the only person who drives my car,2 weeks later noticed the same problem with the other nexen,went to my local nexen supplier,he said I had hit the wheel somewhere even though I know I did not,he refused to give my money back,I have had tires of different makes over 18 years these tires are the worst ever,even if I would have hit a curb the tire should no way start to crack on the side wall and rubber come away.never again will I buy these tires,I bought a pair of hankook,a premium tire for a good price.and they are very good tires.nexen you won't be getting my business again.
Ive had them on for about 5 months now, wear is very reasonable, grip is great in the wet and the dry and they are very quiet. ive had the car sitting in the garage for 3 weeks while we were on holiday and they did not have any flatspots. i would buy these tires again.

I thought I would give these tires a try, after seeing some good reviews and seeing the good price, why not I thought?
I have 3 young children in the car and my wife usually drives so the car is never accelerating or driven hard.
These tires were listed as XL extra load to cope with a Galaxy's carrying capabilities.
I cannot fault how they handle or behaved in the wet or the dry. We live in the Pyrenees mountains so very few motorways round here .....
BUT....7200 miles and they are on the wear indicators on the front, they have worn evenly across the tire which shows we dont corner hard but to only get 7200 miles is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!!!!
It seems that these tires cannot cope with a heavier front end of a diesel car.
I will definitely not be buying again.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Nexen N6000? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I was initially really dubious having always used Bridgestones but I am pleased to say it is a very good tire for what it is. A quality value tire that is not designed for hang it out performance driving. For every day driving, moving the family around at the legal limit it is absolutely fine.
On a hooligan note, I drove them at an average 90 mph for 6 hours in France last year and they were fine.
As they wear the wet grip diminishes a bit, pulling away quickly from junctions with FWD will spin them up (maybe the big grooves in the middle lessen the amount of rubber on the road?. )
After 12k miles I swopped the fronts and backs and am now about to buy two more as one of the family drivers has kerbed and split a rear!! Joy!!
Have had a pair on the rear of my vectra C 2.0dti for 14k miles and they've only worn down by 2.5mm (were 8mm- now 5.5) and have never given me any problems in the wet or dry. My Goodyear Nct5s on the front were down to about 3mm and were becoming a bit hairier round corners and roundabouts(when taken enthusiastically) and especially in the wet, so I've put 2 N6000s on as replacements which on early signs (200miles) seem to be much better at holding the road than the Nct5s ever were.
I will report back on the handling in a thousand more miles or so and the wear rate once they are down to the minimum or become less able and need replacing. I doubt they'll get anywhere near the mileage that the nct5s do but at £50 less(£65 all in from ATS) and with more grip- I think thats a fair trade.
ive got an st-3 and had continentals sports contact 2 on the car origionally, but after looking at a few reviews online and using nexons on previous cars i decided to give them a try, i mainly drive around town and dont hang around so i needed a tire that sticks to the road in all conditions, nexons are an overall great tire, and also half the price of the tires on the car origionally, would definatly recommend to anyone with an ST.
These tires lasted 21,794 miles before replacement, and there was still at least 3mm of tread, but with winter coming I don't like to take chances. What was really good was the way the tires wore evenly. Performance-wise, cannot fault them. I've seen a few reviews knocking Nexen but my experience has been extremely positive. Only gave 9/10 for wear because I hoped they would last a bit longer, but I'm probably just being an optimist!! Would have happily replaced with the same, but could not find the same tires from my regular supplier at the right price, so went for Maxxis Z4S. Will let you know how these do.
I'm a 63 year old sedately driving a 2liter diesel A6 avant. 4 tires changed 8200 miles ago. Front down to legal limit, but rear only worn down 1mm from original 6mm depth.
Usually get 1800 to 22000 from Continentals, Nankan and Maxxis, shall not buy again.
I have just changed to Nexen N6000 (235/35/19) tires on my Vauxhall Vectra 2.2 SRi Diesel Auto from Conti Sport Contact 2 and I can straight away say that the Nexens are a lot quieter. I bought the Nexens from Tyldesley tires ?367 for all four corners fited and balanced. They feel very good and I have not been able to spin any of the wheels. I have only done approx 400 miles so they are only just run in. I will keep you posted on wear rates in six months. The tires are very good and have rim protectors. Overall, so far so good!!
225/40/R18 Have taken these tires to the track in very cold conditions and they were awesome! my friends on falken semi-slicks couldnt get anywhere near the amount of heat into these tires that i had.
On the road they handle exceptionally well, the best 'budget'(AU$200 each) performance tire ive ever had, but still, you get what you pay for.
Ive had them on for about 5 months now, wear is very reasonable, grip is great in the wet and the dry and they are very quiet. ive had the car sitting in the garage for 3 weeks while we were on holiday and they did not have any flatspots. i would buy these tires again.
