Nexen Roadian H/TX RT5

These came fitted as standard to my Ssangyong Musso. They performed well in all weather climates from blistering heat beach driving to waterlogged campsites to 5 inches of fresh snow and an icy town roads. It's a very comfy tyre that has excellent towing characteristics. After 10,000 miles, the unique and useful sipes had all but worm down so I decided to try some different tyres. My tyre size options are limited, all weather traction being the most important thing, first I tried the Cooper Discoverer AT Sport 2, there were dangerous in the wet. 2nd I tried the new Kumho AT52. These were 12ply reinforced and were the most uncomfortable tyres I have ever used. Next I tried the Toyo Open Country UT and these were dire in grass and sand. So, I ended up buying another set of these Nexen Roadian HTX RT5's and they are performing perfectly.

These tyres were fitted to my Hilux when I bought it and they started out fine. Performed fairly well in all weathers, 99% country roads.. Nothing too exciting, just mediocre grip and feedback. After around 8 or 9000 miles, their performance dropped enormously. At the Toyota recommended tyre pressures they were like jellies, anything above 30psi and my truck turned into a demented gazelle. Very harsh ride. Lots of over steer on wet roads. Without a doubt, the worst tyres I have ever put on a vehicle! They're not expensive, but I wouldn't say they were cheap.

Excellent tyres, came standard on my vehicle and they are an excellent tyre for all round use. Wet and dry grip is great, braking is great, surprising quiet and return excellent fuel mileage. Has the traction and handling of a dedicated all season tyres, copes well in snow, slush and on icey roads at sensible speeds. Sand performance is epic, aired these down to 12 psi on soft sandy beach and they flex to a great footprint. Highly recommended for towing. Wear is high to average but is wearing evenly across the tread. Very easy on the wallet.
