Tires Nexen or FEDERAL

I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.

I have the nexens on my golf R and they are perfectly serviceable winter tires. Would buy them again no problem

We ran those Nexens for a few years on a Ford Focus RS AWD in winter and it's a solid tire... The Michelin is a better tire especially on ice, but for $150 less I would take the Nexens again. This is in ND, so winters can get pretty extreme and they perform well.

Bought my truck in 2019 at 55k miles with NEXEN tires, it’s 2024 98k miles and still in the green for discount tires tread chart (8/32”). I was told they are cheap tires but they’re quiet and have held up great.

Been running them for 3 winters and they've been great.

Over the course of almost 10 years. I have found Nexen tires have always had better ride quality. Less wear issues. And don’t dry rot as quick as these big name brand tires.

Flow One + NEXEN SUR4g. Not the best, but a move up from my shockingly bald street tires.

595s are super squishy. I'd say, out of all performance tires, they have the least stiff sidewall. It's definitely you reducing how much sidewall you have by going up to bigger wheels.

Nexen and Sailun are low tier tire brands - they are trying to suggest affordable tires already.

Can't tell for EV, but my nexens on kodiaq lasted like 20k and already fronts were down to 3mm.
