Tires Nexen or SUMITOMO

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.

I have Sumitomo Encounter ATs that I like pretty well. On road manners are great and no complaints off-road. They don't look as "cool" as some of the other ATs but they work just as well.

Nexen is good and reasonably priced.

I got about 30k miles on sumitomos 285/75/16 snow rated, AT. They’ve been solid

I got sumitomo on mine. Quite. Great on all things wet including light snow.

They’re fine - I believe they’re made by nexen, and nexens are pretty solid mid tier tires. Not gonna wow you but definitely not dangerous like some of the cheap chinese junk out there.

I've had their winter tires for 3 seasons. They're as good as any other winter tires I've ever owned. Id say they're an average tire.

About 8,000 miles ago, bought a set of their 30,000 mile rated tires. My wife asked me to look at her front tires because they looked "worn out" to which I said "What!" The front tires look like they have gone almost 25,000 worth of wear. She only drives locally and her job is less than a mile away. I've never seen tires wear down so much from so little driving but I guess that's what you get from buying at a Mom and Pop discount place.

I’ll be honest these came in my brand new 2025 Volkswagen Jetta which I purchased last October and I already need a new set. I have put in a wreck of miles though 18k miles already but I still think they wore way too quick they’re at “4 tread and will need to replace.
