Tires Nexen or NITTO

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 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.

Like mine, I’m running Nitto NT555 G2s, they have around a 30k mileage run. As opposed to Michelins Defender 2 which have an 80k mileage the compound on most daily tires should be a little harder, lasting longer.

I am a Nito guy I love those tire I recommend the nitto ridge grappler very good highway tire but yet you still have some bite for off-road and overland

I put those tires on my R1T when it only had 15k and half the tread left, because the OEM are so damn noisy. I love them, completely. Much less noise, and a mild efficiency improvement.

FWIW, I have the Nexen AT Pro RA8 on my truck because my size for the Cooper's was backordered at the time and after 2 years I don't regret my purchase at all and will likely get Nexen truck tires again

I've driven 65.000km and I'm through one set of Continental All Season Contact 1 and one set of Nexen.

The all season contact lasted for 35.000km the Nexen one for two summer.

the Nitto Grapplers are horrible on wet pavement. Too bad, because they worked well for me otherwise.

I got mine 12/21 date code 48/21. I got about 40k on them. All 4 have dry rot. They suck in the rain and I am about to dump them.
