Tires Nexen or KENDA

I had a set of those in 31x10.5x15. I really liked them. I kept the pressures around 25-27 psi had them for almost 30k miles.

Spend the money on a really good set of fronts. Nexen SUR04

I've been quite happy with my Nexens on my E39. They're quiet and smooth. Oh yeah, grip in the snow is quite good too.

I run Nexen N'Fera SU1 tires on my GTI in the summer: https://www.nexentireusa.com/tires/high-performance/n-fera-su1 Best budget tires I've ever tried. They are wearing nicely, grip in dry and wet is great. I was VERY surprised about the wet weather performance. I'd buy them again and again, no questions asked.

Nevegal is a much better choice for cornering than ardent. I've done nevegal front/ardent rear before, but I really would be reluctant to push cornering speed on an ardent up front.

I ran Nexen N-Fera SU1 on my GTI this summer and they were great. Wet/Dry performance for the daily driver was great, noise wasn't an issue either. Seem to be wearing well.

I have them on my 250l and they work great, they get the job done off road while still providing a lot of grip on road. The tire compound is quite soft which helps on road.

The N3000 is ok. Had them on my A4 Avant when I bought it. Dry grip is pretty good, and they do ok in the wet, too. Definitely lacking in grip compared to something like PS2s but not bad. Sidewall is moderately soft and they wear quicker than expected.

I have some Nexen tires on a Kia Optima and all four are "out of round" with only 17k Miles. Like riding on square block. Crappy tires!

These tires have 17k miles on them in the city and are completely useless now. It feels like I am driving in my Jeep offroad. The car literally pitches and rolls at low speeds; at highway speeds it vibrates badly.
