Tires Nexen or MRF

Nexen, depending on the model (avoid the CPxxx models otherwise excellent tires) are great tires and would be a lateral move from the RT43...

I love my nexen nprix 8. Going to get another set soon.

I have been a big fan of Nexen tires for some time... Sent two kids to college on them in the Dakotas where conditions can be less than ideal. And we have used their winter tires, performance tires, and truck tires as well and I can say I don't really have any negatives to say for the price... They are solid, budget tires in the same league as Cooper, General, Falken, and Yokohama... They are not Michelins or Bridgestones, but they don't try to be either.

Nexen winguard sport 2 have been just fine for me.

I put Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 on instead (they were on sale and had white letter sidewalls, I am old school) and honestly I haven't regretted it at all... I do some off-roading and deal with pretty severe winters and snow and the Nexens have been very good in those conditions and I have put a fair amount of interstate highway miles on them and they run nice and quiet.

I went with the Nexens and have been very pleased.

Nexen like all brands make different levels of tires. If you decide to buy the cheap ones your results will be indeed be bad. I bought a nicer tire that they make and have had no issues with them. It's actually the best ride quality I've had in my car. They drive better than Dunlop and Pirrelli P-Zero I had in the past.

Flow One + NEXEN SUR4g. Not the best, but a move up from my shockingly bald street tires.

I had Nexen tires put on for the first time a couple years ago and had 2 punctures within a week of each other last year and just today one completely blew out. They were cheap but I probably wouldn't buy them again.

I had 3 of my 4 Nexen tires give out on my new Volkswagen under 20k. Don't recommend
