Tires Nexen or WANLI

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

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.

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.

FWIW, I have the Nexen AT Pro RA8 on my truck because my size for the Cooper's was backordered at the time and after 2 years I don't regret my purchase at all and will likely get Nexen truck tires again

Hankook v12 are OK but are very low grip, and Nexen are GREAT for smoke but also start to shred in 10 mins.

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

I had off brand wan-li winter champions on an AWD car years ago, these tires came with the car. Traction was fine, stopping better in the winter. Noise and road comfort was awful. At 110-120km/hr, they were super loud and sucked driving with them on.
