Tires Nexen or Continental

Continental Tires

With the Arteon, and some pretty sporty driving, I am about to replace all 4 tires on Wednesday, with around 32,000 miles - the fronts are right at the wear bars and the backs still have a touch more

Pros: quite good, wear nicely
Cons: wear bars
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 32000 km

I bought the Continental VikingContact 7 for my Rav4 back in 2019, and have been very happy with them. They were also cheaper than the Michelin or Nokian.

Pros: very happy
Cons: cheaper than Michelin/Nokian
Vehicle: Toyota

I personally love the DWS and used them as my "winter tire" in the PNW. I did find them to lack the sidewall support for giving me confidence in the dry, however if you aren't pushing the car hard, they are a fantastic all year tire

Pros: fantastic all year tire
Cons: lack sidewall support

On my 2015 Passat I put a Chinese brand as I go many miles the design of the tires is really good looking, no road noise and good grip so far 15k miles and no issues and half the price.

Pros: good grip, no issues
Cons: Chinese brand
Mileage: 15000 km

I have had the DWS 06 on my R for almost a year. Drove through Reno’s ridiculous amount of snow last year. They’re a good tire in fluffy snow and got me around no problem. When it gets more hard packed they struggle, but they’re an all season tire and I didn’t expect much there.

Pros: good tire in snow
Cons: struggle hard packed

So, my buddy has a Mk2 Supra. He has so many cars, this one lives at my house. When he first bought the car 4 years ago, it had been sitting for a while, and the tires were shot, so he had tires-easy send a set of Nexen N3000's in close to the original size to North Carolina, had them installed so that he could drive back to Pittsburgh. So, we took the car to Hershey at the beginning of last year, and the tires have not covered that many miles since purchase, so three years of mild summer driving. They started to vibrate BAD after we started back. At first, we could not figure out what in the hell was wrong, so we stopped, and the tire had a HUGE bulge in the middle of the tread. Once again, in the middle of the tread. So, we had to throw on the 30 year old spare, a Dunlop SP3000 that looked comically old. So we started off again, and less than 10 miles later, it started to vibrate terribly again. Thinking that the spare was dying, we were stuck in a single lane cattle pen on the PA Turnpike, and were limping it at 35 until we could get to an emergency pull off. We were just about to pull it over after it crossed back over to the end of the construction zone, and BLAM! We pulled over to find the OTHER N3000 on the rear axle had **** the bed, actually blowing out the center of the tread. It looked like the belts had all just blown out of the hole. We had to wait 6 hours for a tow truck for a 4 hour tow home. It sucked. He found a couple of used tires at a place down the street from him, some old Grand Am brand tires to tide him over until he could replace all of them with a decent tire. So, after a couple of shows and sitting at my house again, I took it to Youngstown to get snow tires for my wife's new Fiesta, about an hour away, and........WHOOMP WHOOMP WHOOMP....the third out of four started to bulge in the middle. So on went the old Dunlop spare, which got me home. I wouldn't buy Nexens again if you paid me, and I had N5000's on my truck for a couple of years, kinda liked them. BUT NEVER AGAIN.

Cons: vibrate badly, huge bulge, blew out, poor reliability
