Tires Nexen or Goodyear

Goodyear Eagle GT should be quieter than the Contis for what its worth

The new Goodyear 245's I got are killer.

These were my all around favorite tire as well, and I had them on my B5 Passat back from '03-05. Best tires I've driven on yet. Only other tire that compared to the grip was a set of Bridgeston Re040's on my '06 GLI and my mother's '04 BMW 530i.

i changed my tires to XL (Eagle F1 Asymm's) and the problem is solved. i have hit some very nasty edges and haven't had any drama whatsoever... i believe it certainly would have been a replacement if it wasn't for the XL-strength sidewall.

I have 10k on the Goodyear Eagle all seasons and so far so good. I love their aggressive-looking tread and they handle fine in the rain, but the jury is still out on snow performance.

I got the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons, and love them. They perform as good as the summer-only variation (not easy to find in many all-seasons), yet offer the security of being able to drive safely n low-temps/snow.

We choose to wrap the wheels in Nexen N3000 235/35/19. To be honest they were the cheapest Tires I could find. Another review will come after Jen racks a couple of miles on them.

despite what people say, the n3000's are that bad. i've had a set for a while now on my could, 195-45-15 on a 15x8, and i've driven the piss out of it, and they've got pretty impressive dry traction and cornering for as cheap as they are... traction goes way down in the rain though, not horrible, but not good either, haha.

Nexen tires are cheap for a reason. While they may serve you just fine to putt down the highway they are inferior in about every measurable category to most reputable tires, lateral grip, braking, acceleration.

I had Nexen N3000's on the S2000 when I purchased it. While I know they aren't N5000's, they seemed to have an odd reputation on message boards. The 3000's were deemed fairly acceptable for the first half of their tread life, but then horrid at the second half. They went from having a bit of grip to driving on frozen hockey pucks. Mine were already fairly worn on the S2000, and they were SCARY. They were promptly replaced with appropriate rubber for the car.
