Tires Nexen or BRIDGESTONE

Apart from FB Marketplace, Nexens are quite good. I have a set of Nexen Winguard Sport 2s on my WRX and so far so good.

Replaced a broken rear hatch strut and rear shocks replaced under warranty (common issues). New Michelin Cross-Climates at 45k replacing the OEM Bridgestones.

I have a winter wheel set with blizzaks on it. Everyone drives slow as fuck and then there's me mobbing in a snow storm like the roads are clear. Make a hell of a difference.

I've been swapping out my tires every November-April for Blizzaks. Proper winter tires are totally worth it though. A WRX with winter tires is a beautiful thing.

A set of 17's and Blizzaks will work wonders in snow/ice conditions ...

I just put a set of nexen all weathers on they werent too pricey and theyre pretty good in the snow

Nexen generally make ok products. Kumho and Hankook make better imo, but it will depend on how new the various options are in your size.

We have ran the Nexen Winspike and Nexen Winguard series winter tires on a few vehicles in Dakota winters, which can be extremely harsh... Saying they are "comparable quality" to Hakka's is a stretch... but they are decent winter tires and Nexen has one of the best warranties in the tire industry.

I have DM-V2s on an ascent they are not going to last 3 winters.

Bridgestone Turanza EV. The fit drove me crazy. Tires say they are the same size, but the wheel sticks out a little more for sure. It bothered me so much I brought the tires back
