Tires Nexen or Kumho

Vouch for Nexen, using their summer performance tires and got a tire blew recently due to a pothole on highway , they approved my road hazard claim quick and sending me reimbursement for my tire. Satisfied and getting another for sure

I’ve had 3-4 sets of kumhos on various vehicles & a trailer, great tires great prices

Just thought I’d share some initial impressions.

Car Details: 2020 Model 3 RWD

Original Tires: Michelin Primacy

Miles of original tires: 58,300

New Tires: Nexen N’Blue 4S2

Miles on new tires: 100-200

Road Noise

Nexen (N): quiet. I mean nothing at slow speeds and very light at hwy speeds.

Efficiency

N: Still early days, but all miles in the rain and with gusts from the recent hurricane (it’s not nearly hurricane force winds). Mainly highway this far and was around 250-260kwh.

Ride Quality

N: shockingly noticeable job absorbing bumps. Not like a new suspension, but takes the cringe out of small potholes and bumps.

Nexen is amazing.....I drove above 200kph many times without any issues.

I had good experience with Kumho as affordable tyre option

I use Nexen Roadian RA8 tires on my Tahoe and love them. $130 a piece for 265/75r16. I get a lot of snow where I live and they haven't let me down.

Good grip in dry & wet, mud + snow rated, quiet, have had them on for the past 3 years. I live in Ontario, these are excellent in the snow.

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

Kumho tires suck. Mine lasted about 24k miles before I replaced them with Michelins.

I finally got sick of them on my 2019 at about 21k miles with the rainy winter we had in Southern California and slipping all over the place.
