Tires Nexen or Barum

I got two new tires Friday from Discount Tire, Nexen N Priz AH5. I made an appointment, and after tires, installation, and tire disposal fee it was $268 and I was in and out of there within the hour.

I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price

I have run them for the last 2 winters and they are great. Quiet, good handling and decent traction.

OEM Nexen on my Hyundai. Surprisingly great tires. I had always been a Michelin guy, but when the time comes I might get another set of Nexens, especially seeing their price.

I've been running a set for 3+ years now. City driving of 40km daily. Tread is still good and road noise is non existent.

Am Barum Polaris 5 si mi-au placut, erau ieftine, acu 3 ani le-am luat cu 1000 toate 4 205/55/R16. Sunt moi, au sant pentru aderenta pe ploaie, dar dupa teste nu par ca exceleaza acolo, eu nu am simtit, iar pe zapada sunt excelente. Barum este sub-brand Continental si au fost facute in UE. Probabil sunt prea moi, si se consuma mai rapid, dar nu ma deranjat, oricum ma lovesc mai intai de vechime decat de cat de consumate sunt, si au tinut 3 sezoane sigur merg si al patrulea. Deasemenea se umplu de pietricele prin gauri. Not top performance, dar ok,

Nexen is good and reasonably priced.

They aren't top tier but they aren't completely garbage either. Good tire if you're not trying to break the bank

I’ll be honest these came in my brand new 2025 Volkswagen Jetta which I purchased last October and I already need a new set. I have put in a wreck of miles though 18k miles already but I still think they wore way too quick they’re at “4 tread and will need to replace.

I consider Nexgen tires dangerous with oversteer especially with high center of gravity vehicles. Maybe it's the soft sidewall.
