Anyone have experience or knowledge of these tires? Thinking of using these to replace the stock tires on the 05 18" sport wheels.

I am in SoCal so no need to worry about rain, snow, etc. I make trips to our local mtns for snowboarding but even then the roads are fairly harmless. I am looking for decent performing tires that will stay quiet. I dont need the stickiest tires because tire noise is a concern. Being on a budget, I'm now looking at these.

thanks!

 

Nexen is definitely not a good tire. If you want something cheap look at Kumho's or Fuzion zr-i's. I've never used the tires but i work in the tire business and you get what you pay for. You wont get quietness from this one.
-GP-

 

hmmmm, what kind of $$ should i expect to spend on a good tire? again, i have summer weather year round in LA but would like quiet tires that handle well.

Gdup35sedan, thanks for the tire consultation, haha. Seriously, i appreciate it, especially coming from someone that knows tires.

 

i'm curious too - i saw these tires, and wonder how well they work and how long they live.

 

i think they are compared to the wanli 1088 and tread should be around 340...

 

no idea what this "wanli 1088" is, but the treadwear is indeed 340. i think these are 340/AA/A.

 

If you are looking for cheap tires the Kumho 712's are a good tire for the money.

 

Can you get deals on tires?

 

Some on the 350Z forum have like this tire very much. High performance and also quiet is what I've heard from them.

 

Mercedes guys seam to like them

oy, please do not speak unless you have actually tried them or did some research. Just because its cheap, does not mean they worst then any other tire. To be honest, I had kumho's and they run out fast. Alot of the high ends ones really sux.

I have done research on the nexens and heard nothing but good stuff about them. Every car forum I visited, liked them.

 

Nexens Were Originally Made For Lexani Rims Thats What A Manager At A Tire Shop Told Me They Are Too Cheap I Wouldnt Reccomend.

 

happy with my michillin pilot sport A/S, but they where far from cheap.

 

when i bought my car a couple of months ago, they came with the Nexxan 5000. Um tires are really based on what they are rated. yes noise is a big factor, but if it is rated; Traction AA Temperature A, it is the best you can get. AA is the highest, But most good tires are rated at an A, only if you are rolling with low-profile tires will they most likely be rated at AA, so they dont exploded when you are driving. Do i like the tires, yeah. Are they really performance oriented, not really, i would really like some Eagle F1's but i can make do with these tires, they aren't that loud, they are very very decent tires for the money.

 

just got me 2 pairs of Kumho ecsta asx. They reallly cheap and really performs well. 9 for the road noise, 8 for the ride comfort and 10 for the handling. im doing like 60mph on ramps off and on the highway. Only got about 500mile on these so the tread wear can't say yet. And you can get them on tirerack for 88 bucks. HA, best bang for the buck out there.
