Tires Nexen or OEM Subaru

They were absolutely excellent rear tires for a RWD with a lot of power in a snowy climate with a jumpy driver. Zero issues with slippage, balance, wear pattern, etc. since installed in December. 10k miles later and I found them flat with a hole in my parking lot at work, and a plug would not hold, big bummer.

They are budget friendly and reliable. I'm using for the past 5 years.....have driven at high speeds for long distances and hot climate.....felt very comfortable.

I’ve had really good Nexens, both all weather/snow. Sound better than stock, good handling - esp the snow tires

Picked up some Nexen Roadian GTXs that have served beautifully for about a year and a half and 24k miles. I’m a strong believer in middle of the pack tires. If you are going to go top notch, it’s Michelin or bust. Other than that, choose a decent tire for a middle of the road price.

I've had both Sailun and Nexen (2010 Audi A4 Avant) and had no issues, even with Autobahn driving.

Nexen vote for me. They've held up pretty well here in MA.

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

Hankook v12 are OK but are very low grip, and Nexen are GREAT for smoke but also start to shred in 10 mins.

At my 35K (mi) scheduled maintenance, I was told I had 2/32 left on the OEM Nexens.

I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.
