    These tires have been great for the time I have had them. They are not as good as blizzacks or other more know winter tires but they are also not as expensive and are definitely more sporty. They are not as comfortable as the others as well, a bit more harsh and as noisy as any winter tire. They do handle better as I said than the more seasoned tires but again the snow traction isn't as good but still much better than an all season in deeper snow. The wear has been pretty good, about on par with other winter tires I've used so I expect them to last me a good 4 seasons at least. For the price thesse are great, unfortunatly it doesn't look like they make them in my tire size any more so I won't be able to get another set once these are done.

    Lost 2 mpg after putting these on but the traction in snow is worth it

    Bought these for my 22 VW GTI. I have the Autobahn with the 18" wheels and Bridgestone Potenza S005 Ultra High Performance Summer tires. We got our first snow in Michigan (maybe an inch or two) and I had absolutely zero control with the summer tires. I went to a meeting a few blocks away and wasn't sure I would make it back home. I ordered these Nexen's and it's a NIGHT AND DAY difference! We got an even bigger snowfall recently and I had total control, little or no slipping, I even went through a figure 8 of two roundabouts next to each other and was not able to break the rear tires loose. Very impressed with these Nexen tires - I've never heard of the brand before this - and even more impressed that these tires are far, far quieter than my summer tires. I didn't realize how much road noise I had with the summer tires until I put these Nexens on. It's going to be hard going back to the summer tires next year... may just end up buying a set of Nexen UHP summer tires too!

    I ended up doing a research about these tires after found them on this site. I remembered that a lot of the newer models of Hyundai came with this brand from the factory. I drive now a WRX and in some of the groups people recommend these tires. I live in the PNW, rain is almost daily and these tires are amazing with water and cold weather. Way more comfortable than the summer tires that came with the car. Definitely was a good choice for my needs.

    After about a month of window shopping, I bought these Nexens. I've had some more costly brands of winter tires before (on the same vehicle platform), and so far these have surpassed the others overall, in my opinion. Pretty comfy ride without too much give in corners. Grip is good on wet pavement that I've experienced. Haven't had deep snow, grabs hard packed stuff well though. Very pleased with these mid-level winter tires!
