Tires Nexen or OEM FORD

I got two new tires Friday from Discount Tire, Nexen N Priz AH5. I made an appointment, and after tires, installation, and tire disposal fee it was $268 and I was in and out of there within the hour.

I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price

I have run them for the last 2 winters and they are great. Quiet, good handling and decent traction.

What's your goal? To become a professional driver (regardless of it being profitable or not)? to find a new fun way to burn money? To live out a dream of driving a car you maybe can't afford on track? I did the drive an exotic before i had a car that was worth taking on track. It was a blast. I have more fun doing hpde now where I get significantly more track time (and get stuck with the cost of tires and rotors and brake pads and fixing things that break and trying to chase gremlins) . While the idea of racing is appealing the cost of racing is not but if that was a goal progressing towards a license and avoiding picking up any bad habits is your best bet.

OEM Nexen on my Hyundai. Surprisingly great tires. I had always been a Michelin guy, but when the time comes I might get another set of Nexens, especially seeing their price.

I've been running a set for 3+ years now. City driving of 40km daily. Tread is still good and road noise is non existent.

BFG is definitely a class above the Nexen. Sure Nexen has never issued a recall but they make very mid car tires imo, underrated truck tires tho and excellent quality control.

I had no problems with my set but they seem to have worn down pretty quick after ~20k miles.

I consider Nexgen tires dangerous with oversteer especially with high center of gravity vehicles. Maybe it's the soft sidewall.

This one came with Nexen tires that were brand new when I purchased the truck. To be honest, these were the worst tires I have ever owned. Well, I have had a lot of issues in rain where these totally loose traction in the rain going perfectly straight. Didn't matter how fast I was traveling. The final straw was with my wife in light rain and a slightly wet road, turning onto an onramp at about 30mph and the entire rear end started sliding like we were on ice, without me trying to accelerate yet.
