Tires Nexen or KENDA

I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price

I have run them for the last 2 winters and they are great. Quiet, good handling and decent traction.

OEM Nexen on my Hyundai. Surprisingly great tires. I had always been a Michelin guy, but when the time comes I might get another set of Nexens, especially seeing their price.

I've been running a set for 3+ years now. City driving of 40km daily. Tread is still good and road noise is non existent.

Nexen is good and reasonably priced.

I ran nexen Sport R, they’re a tick off pace of the hot 200tw (RE71RS, CRSv2, A052) but they’re super consistent across a 30 minute lapping session and I was getting 5-6 days out of a set.

For example the K193 Tires were made to be super puncture resistant at a higher PSI than the first K Series(100PSI) but due to budgeting, they had to sacrifice handling, and also some rolling resistance, they do roll nice but not the best, they handle like crap, and aren’t not safe in the rain despite being advertised as such..lol… they also wear like iron, after 8,000 miles i still have life left them in and never had any puncture issues compared to other tires.

They aren't top tier but they aren't completely garbage either. Good tire if you're not trying to break the bank

About 8,000 miles ago, bought a set of their 30,000 mile rated tires. My wife asked me to look at her front tires because they looked "worn out" to which I said "What!" The front tires look like they have gone almost 25,000 worth of wear. She only drives locally and her job is less than a mile away. I've never seen tires wear down so much from so little driving but I guess that's what you get from buying at a Mom and Pop discount place.

I had the original Kenda MTs on my Land Cruiser and they took a ton of weight to balance, were noisy as hell, wore terribly uneven and we're about 70% worn after about 20k miles.
