Silent tire, good grip, wet and dry. Worst tread wear eis the wort ever! Looks like it is made not for an SUV but for lighter car.

The tires are unimpressive at just about anything. Dry traction and grip are acceptable, noise/comfort is fine. Wet traction and grip are underwhelming, and snow traction is pretty bad.
They are wearing extremely quickly, and are down to about 20% tread after only 25,000 miles. These are supposedly a 70,000 mile tire. These tires are daily driven on the highway as part of my wife's commute. They're not abused, they've been rotated every 5,000 miles. We had the alignment checked to make sure nothing was out of spec because they are wearing so much more quickly than expected. I will definitely not be buying another set of these. There are several other tire options that are better than these Nexens in literally every category.

My 2021 Kia Sorrento Hybrid tyres only had 20,000 miles on them. They slipped going over a few wet leaves & worse on wet roads that made me feel very unsafe. I decided to charge 1,100$ worth of these tyres. The difference is amazing!! I have not driven in any snow or ice but plenty of rain. Be aware these tyres WILL take a toll on your gas mileage. I have close to 2,000 miles on them now in both city & hiway miles.. I have lost 5 mpg since having them both city & hiway driving. I can no longer return them for their 30 day return. Other then that, I'm pleased. Although they have excellent sticking power, I will not be replacing them with the same.

Supplied new with a Kia Sorento which does a lot of towing a 1600 kg caravan. Done 30k miles before needing new. No problems with wet or dry grip or on wet grass. Not noisy. Only drive at normal speeds but handles well in sports mode on twisty roads. Will replace with same.

Had these fitted on the front axle of my 2011 Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI. Have done only 1000KM so far but impressed with it's performance. It's stiffer than the Landsail 588 tyres we had on before but still very comfortable. Dry grip is superb and can chuck the vehicle into a corner and turn in is very good. Would definitely recommend for drivers who drive aggressively. Feedback is good but hard to judge on the particular vehicle as it's high mileage (210,000KM) and the steering rack is not healthy. Wet grip is very good but I must say this is from only a drive in the rain on the highway (did not feel any weaving or aquaplaning). Braking feels solid, much better than the Landsails and confidence inspiring. I live in Sri Lanka with a mix of rough and smooth roads. Overall it's a good midrange tyre. Recommended!

A good all season tyre, lasted over 40,000 miles and still around 3mm left. Good in snow but could do with being a bit more comfortable

Didn't have much problems with the grip. TC would sometimes kick in when starting harder but they felt safe overall.
Wear was disappointing, with one rotation they barely managed to do 20.000km. They still had some depth, but front end tires started to chip away at the end of the second season.
They aren't bad tires in terms of grip, but they are still a bit to expensive for their wear. You can get premium tires for not much more and they can last for at least 30-35.000km.

I read the reviews of this tyre and got worried it may be too noisy. I've had them fitted and have had no such issue, in fact they're quieter than the OEM Hankooks my car came with.
Excellent wet road grip and handling. Very happy.
