Given 50% while driving a Audi Q7 (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 6 average miles
I have purchased set of nexen tyres for my 4x4,I was told these are very good tyres and have Michelin technology behind them,after 3 months I noticed a cut in one of the tyres,I thought I might have hit the wheel somewhere so got it changed,even though I could not remeber hitting it anywhere and I'm the only person who drives my car,2 weeks later noticed the same problem with the other nexen,went to my local nexen supplier,he said I had hit the wheel somewhere even though I know I did not,he refused to give my money back,I have had tyres of different makes over 18 years these tyres are the worst ever,even if I would have hit a curb the tyre should no way start to crack on the side wall and rubber come away.never again will I buy these tyres,I bought a pair of hankook,a premium tyre for a good price.and they are very good tyres.nexen you won't be getting my business again.

Ive had them on for about 5 months now, wear is very reasonable, grip is great in the wet and the dry and they are very quiet. ive had the car sitting in the garage for 3 weeks while we were on holiday and they did not have any flatspots. i would buy these tyres again.

Given 60% while driving a Ford Galaxy (225/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,200 easy going miles
I thought I would give these tyres a try, after seeing some good reviews and seeing the good price, why not I thought?

I have 3 young children in the car and my wife usually drives so the car is never accelerating or driven hard.

These tyres were listed as XL extra load to cope with a Galaxy's carrying capabilities.

I cannot fault how they handle or behaved in the wet or the dry. We live in the Pyrenees mountains so very few motorways round here .....

BUT....7200 miles and they are on the wear indicators on the front, they have worn evenly across the tyre which shows we dont corner hard but to only get 7200 miles is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

It seems that these tyres cannot cope with a heavier front end of a diesel car.
I will definitely not be buying again.

I was initially really dubious having always used Bridgestones but I am pleased to say it is a very good tyre for what it is. A quality value tyre that is not designed for hang it out performance driving. For every day driving, moving the family around at the legal limit it is absolutely fine.
On a hooligan note, I drove them at an average 90 mph for 6 hours in France last year and they were fine.
As they wear the wet grip diminishes a bit, pulling away quickly from junctions with FWD will spin them up (maybe the big grooves in the middle lessen the amount of rubber on the road?. )
After 12k miles I swopped the fronts and backs and am now about to buy two more as one of the family drivers has kerbed and split a rear!! Joy!!

Not a fantastic tyre to be honest, the one and only reason I bought these again is the price.

Given 90% while driving a Vauxhall Vectra (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 14,000 spirited miles
Have had a pair on the rear of my vectra C 2.0dti for 14k miles and they've only worn down by 2.5mm (were 8mm- now 5.5) and have never given me any problems in the wet or dry. My Goodyear Nct5s on the front were down to about 3mm and were becoming a bit hairier round corners and roundabouts(when taken enthusiastically) and especially in the wet, so I've put 2 N6000s on as replacements which on early signs (200miles) seem to be much better at holding the road than the Nct5s ever were.
I will report back on the handling in a thousand more miles or so and the wear rate once they are down to the minimum or become less able and need replacing. I doubt they'll get anywhere near the mileage that the nct5s do but at £50 less(£65 all in from ATS) and with more grip- I think thats a fair trade.

These tyres were good in dry conditions but poor in cold and wet. In snow they are useless.

Given 80% while driving a Ford Focus ST (225/40 R18 W) on mostly town for 5,000 spirited miles
ive got an st-3 and had continentals sports contact 2 on the car origionally, but after looking at a few reviews online and using nexons on previous cars i decided to give them a try, i mainly drive around town and dont hang around so i needed a tyre that sticks to the road in all conditions, nexons are an overall great tyre, and also half the price of the tyres on the car origionally, would definatly recommend to anyone with an ST.

Given 99% while driving a Honda Accord (225/50 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 21,794 average miles
These tyres lasted 21,794 miles before replacement, and there was still at least 3mm of tread, but with winter coming I don't like to take chances. What was really good was the way the tyres wore evenly. Performance-wise, cannot fault them. I've seen a few reviews knocking Nexen but my experience has been extremely positive. Only gave 9/10 for wear because I hoped they would last a bit longer, but I'm probably just being an optimist!! Would have happily replaced with the same, but could not find the same tyres from my regular supplier at the right price, so went for Maxxis Z4S. Will let you know how these do.

I'm a 63 year old sedately driving a 2litre diesel A6 avant. 4 tyres changed 8200 miles ago. Front down to legal limit, but rear only worn down 1mm from original 6mm depth.
Usually get 1800 to 22000 from Continentals, Nankan and Maxxis, shall not buy again.

Given 97% while driving a Vauxhall Vectra (235/35 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 200 average miles
I have just changed to Nexen N6000 (235/35/19) tyres on my Vauxhall Vectra 2.2 SRi Diesel Auto from Conti Sport Contact 2 and I can straight away say that the Nexens are a lot quieter. I bought the Nexens from Tyldesley tyres ?367 for all four corners fited and balanced. They feel very good and I have not been able to spin any of the wheels. I have only done approx 400 miles so they are only just run in. I will keep you posted on wear rates in six months. The tyres are very good and have rim protectors. Overall, so far so good!!

225/40/R18 Have taken these tyres to the track in very cold conditions and they were awesome! my friends on falken semi-slicks couldnt get anywhere near the amount of heat into these tyres that i had.

On the road they handle exceptionally well, the best 'budget'(AU$200 each) performance tyre ive ever had, but still, you get what you pay for.

Ive had them on for about 5 months now, wear is very reasonable, grip is great in the wet and the dry and they are very quiet. ive had the car sitting in the garage for 3 weeks while we were on holiday and they did not have any flatspots. i would buy these tyres again.
