Tires Nexen or GENERAL TIRE

General makes good tires.

nexen if u like that cc2 pattern. cheaper too. wrg5 if u deal with potholes.

Nexen. They don’t do much marketing, but they make good tires and have one of the best included warranties.

Those Nexen N5000+ are great but older models (been on the market for 10 or so years), they started phasing them out several years ago with only a few sizes remaining, and were largely replaced by the N5000 Platinum

Vouch for Nexen, using their summer performance tires and got a tire blew recently due to a pothole on highway , they approved my road hazard claim quick and sending me reimbursement for my tire. Satisfied and getting another for sure

Just thought I’d share some initial impressions.

Car Details: 2020 Model 3 RWD

Original Tires: Michelin Primacy

Miles of original tires: 58,300

New Tires: Nexen N’Blue 4S2

Miles on new tires: 100-200

Road Noise

Nexen (N): quiet. I mean nothing at slow speeds and very light at hwy speeds.

Efficiency

N: Still early days, but all miles in the rain and with gusts from the recent hurricane (it’s not nearly hurricane force winds). Mainly highway this far and was around 250-260kwh.

Ride Quality

N: shockingly noticeable job absorbing bumps. Not like a new suspension, but takes the cringe out of small potholes and bumps.

I would recommend the General g max AS 05 or newer AS 07. They're pretty affordable and are great all seasons. On Tirerack you can see the ratings and can get them pretty cheap there as well. I've had those on my old ES 350 and recently on my 2022 Camry SE after the oem tires became unbearably loud and wore out at 40k miles.

I used General Tire Altimax 12 studded tires on my 2017 VW Golf Sportwagen for the 4 winters that I lived in central Maine and absolutely loved them. Great winter tire especially for the price.

I’ve had the generals on my bmw and they were alright

I bought tires for my model 3. They only lasted me 20K with normal driving. They didn’t handle well in dry condition too. One of the worst tires I bought.
