Has anybody tried the Nexan brand of tyres?

I have been told a few good things but would like some real life reviews if possible.

Looking at the Roadian 542 and the HTX
255/65R18

PRices are bloody good. $189 fitted and balanced etc.

Thanks in advance.

Have you considered these Cooper Tire & Rubber Company - Discoverer SRX? (http://us.coopertire.com/Tires/Sport-Utility/Discoverer-SRX.aspx)


Put them on mine today after a lot of investigating.

No I haven't. I seem to recall somebody saying they were no good in wet?

Not saying it's correct.
What PRICE did you pay fitted & balanced ?

Not sure about 'no good in the wet'. All of the reports say that they are good in the wet. One report I read mentioned that they are not real good in thick snow.
They were $330.00 each.


Would have to be the quietest SUV tyre that I have driven on......

Aah! Coopers warranty.
Read the fine print.
Frequently a bone of contention.

Yeah if you have to pay for a rotation and balance every 10000kms from the original point of purchase...

AND if you are a country resident the warranty is void.

Don't you do that anyway?? I know I do.
Have always bought tyres from the same place and they include a free rotation / balance every 10K for the life of the tyre.

I think SWMBO had the Roadian brand tyres on her Delica a couple of years ago. I think she bought it with them.


They were OK but wore reasonably quickly & slipped a bit in the wet.


She put Maxxi's on it which she reckons fell a lot better & she is more confident in them.

On my second set of Nexan Roadian's on the L322. Mine are 20" versions. 1st lot were on the car when I bought it with around 70% tread on them. We put around 50,000 on them before they were unroadworthy. We replaced them with the same as we had no issues with them - they seem fine in the wet or dry, but remember an L322 is hardly a sports car so something that handles better may provide different results.

Under $1000 for all 4 fitted and balanced - half the price of anything else I could find at the time. They are good value for money IMO.

Thanks Craig,

Any issues with rubbing, seeing as there are a bit larger?
