Tires Nexen or GISLAVED

I went with the Nexens and have been very pleased.

Nexen like all brands make different levels of tires. If you decide to buy the cheap ones your results will be indeed be bad. I bought a nicer tire that they make and have had no issues with them. It's actually the best ride quality I've had in my car. They drive better than Dunlop and Pirrelli P-Zero I had in the past.

I am running Gislaved Nordfrost tires with the factory studs in Canada.

If you mean the Nexen N Priz AH7 and not the Aria AH7, I have the N Priz AH7's on my 2019 Kia Sportage AWD which came on the vehicle and I have had no road noise. They've been really good tires actually for me and handle really well.

Nexen WinGuards are some good, budget dedicated winter tires... they perform better than they should for the price...

I had studded gislaved nord frost tires on a FWD Chevy Spectrum back in the day and was unstoppable.

I have other winter tires but THESEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - Day and night difference for specially Win-guards sports 2. Last winter, i was beating everyone on the highway with good amount of snow falling. Even and were slowing down in Boston highway 1-93 as I was on my way to Montreal

Hankook v12 are OK but are very low grip, and Nexen are GREAT for smoke but also start to shred in 10 mins.

They should be replaced immediately. The nexen tires are crap.

At my 35K (mi) scheduled maintenance, I was told I had 2/32 left on the OEM Nexens.
