Anybody used/recomend Nexen Tyres

[Hammer H]

Looking at 275 X 45 X 20 Nexens and currently have HANKOOK VENTUS AS RH07 255/50/20

Has anybody had experience with these?

Wondering if also the tyre aspect ratio will be a problem,
255/50/20 is owners handbook recommendations.

I run the Nexen 255/50/20's so I can't advise on the different size, but the tyres themselves are ok for the price (cheapest I could find...:angel:)

I'm on my second set now, I got about 2 years out of the others, and they were around 80% when I bought the car, so at a guess, I'd say they would run to around 50 to 60KKM. Grip levels are good on both dry and wet roads, and I've also done a lot of dirt road KM on them. Also been off road a few times, but have to tip toe around on them if you do that.

My muddies are Nexen in 265/75/16 and i will happily buy them again, good grip and seem to be wearing as well as expected for muddies used daily.

told I drive a bit like a grandma, but I am about to buy another pair of nexen roadians I think they are, I get about 70k out of them with about 80% of that being highway miles.

Like bacicat they were the cheapest at the time......

I had a 1/2 inch diameter bolt go through the tread on one about a week after I got the last pair, plugged it and has done about 20k since.

Thank you very much Gents, sounds like a very good value tyre.

My previous set were Nexens,
Had a good run , 70-80k , and as much as I can remember
they were a pretty tough tyre, little or no punctures.
Hopefully the quality hasn't dropped like other brands!

Ive had a set of Nexens on one of my Subaru outbacks a few years ago not a LR i know but they seemed great and got some seriously good kms out of them. Also seemed pretty quiet to.

Just be sure you get the correct load rated tyre.


Don't ask why I suggest that.....

I had Nexen Roadian HP tires on a L322 once and found them to be a great tire!

I have just worn down a set of Atturo az800.. These have been awesome and have amazed me at what they have gone thru.. they are a little noisy for a road type tire thou

I am now about to go to Pirrelli Scopion atr's as they are a not too aggressive AT and should be awesome when i do get off road but still have good road manners.. see how they go
