Tires Nexen or SUMITOMO

I ran nexen Sport R, they’re a tick off pace of the hot 200tw (RE71RS, CRSv2, A052) but they’re super consistent across a 30 minute lapping session and I was getting 5-6 days out of a set.

I recommend Nexen. They are good quality Korean brand. My Kia Cerato has them.

I got Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires put on my car last October. I live in Wisconsin and am frequently in NW Wisconsin/MN/SD. They were great for me last winter and are pretty quiet during the summer and solid in the rain. I’ve put over 25k miles on them in a year and still no complaints and limited wear. They were a middle-lower cost option when I bought them on Tire Rack and installed for free at Discount Tire. I’ll probably buy them again. I’ve heard they’re a little soft and wear fast though? That’s not been my experience yet but just what I’ve read.

Am folosit Nexen. Au fost foarte bune ca performanță. Aveau un preț competitiv. Singurul minus era la anduranță. După 5 ani nu mai aveau aceleași caracteristici deși thread mai aveau. Dar s-a cam întărit cauciucul.

I have the Sumitomo Encounter AT's on my frontier. Good reasonably priced tire.

I run the Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 in North Dakota winters and they haven't failed me yet

Sumitomo HTR A/S PO3s have been able to handle anything that comes our way.

For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.

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.
