Nexen tires

Nexxen N-5000
Are these tires any good? I just had 4 Nexen tires installed but I don't know to much about this brand.
Most people who've used Nexen Tires have found them satisfactory, and seem to be happy with a lower price.
The key to ANY tire is to care for it, and if you have any doubts about the quality, then pay extra attention to the basics of checking pressure regularly, rotation and balancing.

Tire Review: NEXEN TIRE 17 Inch
by Steve
(Syracuse, NY)
I hit a pothole while driving using Konig after- market 17 inch rims with Nexen tires. The right front tire blew. (Nissan Sentra 2.0L Model S).
Fortunately the Nissan Dealer had some insurance on the tire. So limping in with the spare on on a Friday afternoon I had the front tire replaced.
That following Sunday I took my car to the manual car wash with to clean off my tire and goop that was left on and noticed that the letters on the sidewall started to separate.
I immediately went in to the Nissan Dealer where I bought my car and he insisted that I must have hit something. I told him I was home all weekend working on my car and only drove it from the dealer to my home and the to the car wash.
What was weird was that the lettering on the sidewall was separating in 2 different directions. In addition I pointed out there were no scrape marks on the side walls which would indicate that I endured a case of curb rash.
I had to pay Nissan who said the dealer would refund them and Nissan would refund me if it was a manufacturing fault. Which I believe it was.
I will not buy this brand again.

Tire Review: Nexen Roadian HT
by Will
(Radford, VA US )
I put Nexen Roadian HT on my 2007 Hyundai Veracruz.
I had Hankook Dynapro that wore out completely at 35,000 and they were horrible in the snow. I've had these Nexen tires for 5,000 miles and some of the worst snow storms we have had in Virginia in years. These tires were awesome, they got me anywhere and everywhere.
They may be a little noiser than the original tires, but they are wearing well and have awesome grip!

Tire Review: Nexen - P351
by jim
(schenectady,ny)
The worst tires I ever purchased in my life!
I bought these Nexen tires(235/60R17), new, and I had them for 14 months, 21,000 miles, had them rotated EVERY oil change, and sadly, these garbage tires are left with 2/32 of tread on them. I do not recommend these tires to ANYONE!
These tires were on a 2007 Hyundai Entourage, NOT a sports car. This company must use the cheapest materials, maybe recycled garbage.
I called the company about this, and they could care less. BUYER BEWARE!

Tire Review: Nexen 5000
by Ayam
(Singapore)
Nexen N 5000
I compare this Nexen 5000 185/60/R14 to my other tire set Goodyear Eagle F1 195/50/R15. I am surprised that the Nexen tire performance in wet and dry is quite near, while still providing extra comfort at much lower price.
Aquaplaning.
Driving on highway at around 70km/h in rain and see stream of water running across the road. The passing has not affected the steering direction. And there is little slow down from water resistance.
Turning.
While turning in to carpark on dry road at 30 to 40km/h, the initial turning in is softer than my Goodyear F1 R15, but is linear and progressive. There is some body roll from the tire, but turning path is predictable.

Nexen N3000
by ERIC
(ORLANDO,FL.)
I bought a set of Nexen 3000 tires about 3 months ago.
Two days ago I noticed a bubble on inside of one of my tires. So I took it to the dealer and they told me it's not covered on warranty "due to impact of a pot hole or etc".
Then I called CORP. they told me the same thing, so I told him this is the first and last set, I'm going back to YOKOHAMA's!
