Tires Nexen or Shinko

nexen if u like that cc2 pattern. cheaper too. wrg5 if u deal with potholes.

Nexen. They don’t do much marketing, but they make good tires and have one of the best included warranties.

Those Nexen N5000+ are great but older models (been on the market for 10 or so years), they started phasing them out several years ago with only a few sizes remaining, and were largely replaced by the N5000 Platinum

Vouch for Nexen, using their summer performance tires and got a tire blew recently due to a pothole on highway , they approved my road hazard claim quick and sending me reimbursement for my tire. Satisfied and getting another for sure

I put on Shinko Ravens and they are more confidence inspiring than the Michelin Pilot 3s I was using.

Might I suggest some Shinko’s. I got 16k out of the back tire I got for my Goldwing, 12k+ of those were overloaded doing 80-90 across the country and through the Rockies.

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.

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.

I finally got sick of them on my 2019 at about 21k miles with the rainy winter we had in Southern California and slipping all over the place.

I've got about 60k km on my OEM Nexen tires. They are definitely on the way out, they slip on wet roads now when accelerating.
