Tires Nexen or GT Radial

If you have the 15" stock wheels, check out nexen npriz AH5. I got some off Amazon for my 65 riviera when I was stock height.

I have them on my car, bought them in 2023 and living in the northeast, they've gone through two winters, hot ass summers and rain and they've done the job and still have a ton of tread on them. With so much insane weather here, I was worried about maybe some traction problems in the snow and rain. Haven't had any at all. YMMV but they've been better "for me" than some higher priced, higher rated tires I wasted money on in the past. I can't speak on everything the company sells, but my specific ones are the Nexen CP671s.

They are a decent midrange tire. Absolutely a good choice if your budget is limited.

GT radial UHP AS tires are like $70 a tire, and more than good enough for the street. I even took them on track for a session, and while they are a bit floppy, they're also way better in the rain and more comfortable than most summer tires.

these are the quietest tires I can recall driving on this car .. the ride feels nice .. of course I also replaced the shocks so that's going to make a difference but the tires are very quiet .. others say they don't last though .. so I'll have to see

Just get the GT radial IMHO, higher rating (60k miles) and cheaper than Douglas (45k miles).

Honestly, the Nexen is a great tire... It's an older model but for the money it is tough to beat it. Nexen also has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry that includes a 2 year road hazard warranty.

Tried both but I’ll go with GT Radial

I drive a 05 wrx and have had both Blizzak WS80 and GT Radial Ice Pro 3 on it. I only got the GT Radials because I was in grad school and they were cheap. They get the job done, but are definitely not as good as blizzies. Obviously haven't done any scientific tests, but the steering feel is noticeably worse on the radials, stopping distance is much longer, acceleration worse. Frequently notice them understeering significantly on both wet and snowy roads.

I got duped by a tire salesman... He sold me 2017 date brand new nexen roadians.

They are wearing in weird ways. Now they have little chunks come out from the side, as if I was going through gravel roads.
