    Nexan Roadian 542

    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?


    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......


    Cheers, Craig

    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.
