Tires Nexen or NANKANG

Compared to all previous sets they a very quiet and drive very smooth, they feel kind of spongy if that makes any sense.

But my go to tire in this space is Nexen... Nexen N5000 Platinum should be under $600 out the door with mount, balance, and taxes, a solid 70k mile all-season tire.

I had a set of Nexen Aria A7's on my GMC Terrain, I got 52,000 miles out of them and they gripped just fine and were quiet. For the money they are a good tire. They are a Korean brand, not some fly-by-night Chinese garbage brand.

All are legit, and I would also vouch for Nexen. I put a set of Aria AH7 on my '19 Fusion, and they are quite nice for the price.

A car I bought had fairly new Nexen tires on it. They lasted 75,000 miles, were quiet, and had decent traction in the rain (Florida).

Approaching 15.000 km with them, (225 50 r15), thought that may be interesting to refer my impressions. They are perfect off road and on road at 200km/h +, never detecting slippage under rain or in sharp turns. EDL and ABS rarely engaged, (both working perfectly). There are no signs of premature wear, neither they are loosing pressure.

The CRS tires hold there grip very well thru out the life of the tire. They can come to heat cycled from the shop but these do work better if you heat cycle them per their instructions before your track day.

I had both ns2 and 512 on my 17x9 both were 205/45. The nankangs were decent but didn't give me the stretch I wanted like the falkens

Generally the folks I 4x4 with tend to avoid cheap small company tires like Radar, Atturo, and Nankang because some of em have had bad luck balancing them, even after spinning it on the rim. The quality control of the small companies isn't up to par with someone like Nitto or BFG so you get what you pay for.

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!
