Tires Nexen or OEM Volkswagen

Nexen tires are massively better in quality and value. I trust Nexen not only with my life, but put them on two of my kids vehicles when they went away to college in the Dakotas (extreme climate variation and brutal winters). Right now we have three vehicles on Nexen tires. In general, Nexen tires are not only worth the money, but they give more value for the price than most tires... They are not the "best" tire out there, but they are a good, quality tire that punches way above their price point.

I had the Nexen Winguard Sport (not the 2) on my 2019 Mustang GT. I drove that car (RWD, manual, 460 hp) for 3 winters on those tires and never had any problems.

We use Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on our Focus RS AWD... they work very well... they are good tires and punch well above their price level in terms of performance and longevity.

I whole-heartedly recommend the Nexen N5000 Platinums... They are not the best tires out there by any means, but punch way above their price category in quality.

I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.

Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.

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

I have cheap Chinese I think, Nexan tires on my GTI because thats what the dealer put on the car. The ride real smooth, very quite and after 2 years and 20k miles they just wont' wear out. Probably have another 20k miles left to them. The wet grip is awful though. Dry grip is good.

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.

Mine didn’t even last a full summer

Not comparable to the oem continentals, I preferred my beefier all seasons to the nexens.
