Tires Nexen or DUNLOP

One of the best tires on a Harley. Have had a problem in the past with 1 tire that was fitted on front for customer, but overall, really outstanding tire. The factory tires are also made by Dunlop, but the typical lifespan is around 3/4 of a Elite at best.

FWIW, I have the Nexen AT Pro RA8 on my truck because my size for the Cooper's was backordered at the time and after 2 years I don't regret my purchase at all and will likely get Nexen truck tires again

Very few manufacturers have a solid warranty that is actually usable in this regard, however one of the best warranties in the industry is from Nexen.

The Nexens on my 70’ Beetle work great. No need to pay more.

They were absolutely excellent rear tires for a RWD with a lot of power in a snowy climate with a jumpy driver. Zero issues with slippage, balance, wear pattern, etc. since installed in December. 10k miles later and I found them flat with a hole in my parking lot at work, and a plug would not hold, big bummer.

They are budget friendly and reliable. I'm using for the past 5 years.....have driven at high speeds for long distances and hot climate.....felt very comfortable.

I had my WRX for a year and a half, and the entirety of it spent on the stock Dunlop tires.

Above 50°F, go ham. Have fun. They're great.

Below 50°F, don't take high speed corners. If you normally go 40 around a corner, go 35 instead.

That being said, I never lost traction with them, even in 40°F rain. The only time they ever broke loose was when there was snow on the ground, which is expected.

Don't go Chinese, had them on low profile 19 inches, were shot and damaged in less than 15k kms. I usually stick to the big names, Dunlop best traction, bridgestone best comfort and life, Yokohama a balance of both. Last for a decent time and the overall cost was lower compared to the kms done not to undermine the sense of safety

I couldn't stop at all with the Dunlops.

Went sideways driving on ice last year in the OEM Dunlops, and while it was kinda fun, it was terrifying to experience zero traction even at low speed.

Now that I have a proper set of Blizzaks, it’s like night and day. Insane traction and way better stopping power.
