NEXEN TIRES, Any good???

[klaw126]

I just got a set of Nexen tires (N5000 215/50R17). I heard some good things about them but I was wondering if anyone here had any past experinces with these brand of tires.I got them from unsertires.com for $260 shipped. Checkout this site for the details:

i know many people here use them out in the summer and they claim it is okay and handles pretty well in the rain (vancouver, bc is rainy all the time). i personally havent given them a try since ive always stuck with falken, bridgestone and yokohama advans

they tires that i classify as "good enough" ...good enough for regular driving. i wouldn't consider them performance.

I run them on my Mercedes SLK 230 Kompressor and they seem to be ok. I ran them at 120 mph a little and no problems. In the rain they did very good.In the snow they suck but thats on a rear wheel drive car. They are made in korea and so far so good.

^ ditto on that one I have the N3000's I was really extremely skeptical at first, but it runs great.

i have nexen tires on my corolla. came with the rims i bought. handles well on rain. only thing i dont like about it is i can't make my car cry anymore because it sticks well on the ground

I had some on my GS when I bought it, and they were almost new but the road noise was too much for me to handle so I ditched them, they were n5000 I beleive, was a 245 40 18 size.
