Tires Nexen or MRF

If you mean the Nexen N Priz AH7 and not the Aria AH7, I have the N Priz AH7's on my 2019 Kia Sportage AWD which came on the vehicle and I have had no road noise. They've been really good tires actually for me and handle really well.

Nexen WinGuards are some good, budget dedicated winter tires... they perform better than they should for the price...

I have other winter tires but THESEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - Day and night difference for specially Win-guards sports 2. Last winter, i was beating everyone on the highway with good amount of snow falling. Even and were slowing down in Boston highway 1-93 as I was on my way to Montreal

From our personal experience and also clients’ feedback we have had much better performance with the Sport R compared to the RT660. Autocross conditions will have the Sport R need a little more warmup, however it does not fall off as much as the RT660 (especially after heat cycles) and yes longevity is much longer on the Sport R. The RT660 also has a tread splicing issue that we really don’t like to see in a performance tire.

I ran the Sport R on my ES MR2 after V730. The wear was better, better feel all around and probably slightly faster

While I agree that these tires have lived a full life and should be replaced, it’s impressive how well these tires have held up after 15 years. Nexen - I’m impressed.

Idk if the showroom guys have control over that because I asked for Apollo and I got MRF. The sales guy told me the bikes get allocated at random.

But coming to the tyre itself I would say the MRFs are good only. Never felt the lack of grip except one time when my tyre was in slushy mud. Appearance wise also the MRF's look a little wider compared to the Apollo's since the tyre profile is more curved in the latter if that matters to you.

I bought them last year and they are alright. I am not a very enthusiastic driver though. They are less sticky than my cooper all season tires on dry roads but brake much better on snow than my all seasons.

Won’t buy MRFs though because they will absolutely get you killed if you push the bike a little bit more than average.

Agree- Ram put the Roadian HP tires on a brand new 4 x 4- flat after flat after flat x 4- cut my losses and bought Goodyear- Dealer will not honor and manufacture of tires would not honor- NHSTA needs to step in.
