Tires Nexen or Vredestein

Being in the DC market, Vreds are favored by European customers it seems. I put a set on my moms SUV and she loves them. I've never heard any complaints regarding them

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 live in Minnesota and got these for my Model Y in August 2022. We have 50k miles, two Midwest winters, and Im buying a second set to replace them now. I could MAYBE get another 5-10k miles but I dont risk it here.

Nexen is amazing.....I drove above 200kph many times without any issues.

I use Nexen Roadian RA8 tires on my Tahoe and love them. $130 a piece for 265/75r16. I get a lot of snow where I live and they haven't let me down.

i have been running the Quatrac Pro on my WRX for a couple years now and they're awesome. The Vredesteins are very competent--excellent traction both wet and dry, quiet, and rated for high performance. Good wear, too

Happy with them so far, 1K miles in. Quiet, dry and wet grip for days, decent rolling resistance. Great for warm/hot climates.

Vredestein Wintrac Pro, Tire Rack sells them.

I just got a 24 mach-e and will be buying these, I live in Michigan. Had a set on my wife's Explorer and they were grest. Online reviews are great and they are also cheaper than all comparable competitors. Do your own research to be sure but I was very happy, so much so that I'm going to buy them again for my Mach-e. They are also rated as a performance tire.

I got about 26,000 miles from the Nexen.

IMO those tires were bottom of the barrel. I would just replace.
