Tires Toyo or Nexen

I whole-heartedly recommend the Nexen N5000 Platinums... They are not the best tires out there by any means, but punch way above their price category in quality.

I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.

Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.

Compared to all previous sets they a very quiet and drive very smooth, they feel kind of spongy if that makes any sense.

But my go to tire in this space is Nexen... Nexen N5000 Platinum should be under $600 out the door with mount, balance, and taxes, a solid 70k mile all-season tire.

I had a set of Nexen Aria A7's on my GMC Terrain, I got 52,000 miles out of them and they gripped just fine and were quiet. For the money they are a good tire. They are a Korean brand, not some fly-by-night Chinese garbage brand.

Toyo makes some of the best tires out there and their GSI-5 snow tires are the best snow tires on the market.

I had two sets on two trucks, loved them for the first 10k miles and after that they pulled to the right all the time and were quite loud. Getting alignments done didn’t help it pulling to the right and as soon as I got different tires the pull went away.

Had one of mine pop on the way to my new job on the other side of the country- only 5k on some N’priz AH8s (70k warranty) replaced back in October.

I have nexen tires on my ram truck I have had two almost brand new tires bulge apart on that truck. They are in fact junk tires.
