Default Nexen Tire

So its time again after freaking 8 months I have to get my cars tires changed again. I did have Yokohama S drive but im tired of spending that much money if i have change tires often

I am getting a set of Nexen's


285/30/20 - back
245/35/20 - front

I am getting them for $550 installed.

Question is, Are Nexen tires good? I tried searching but couldnt get anything positive besides a few results

Well, they will hold air and let you drive your car. They are crap tires, but that shouldn't matter to you when your rolling with SUV wheels on your car.

I had nexen tires(stretched 18x11.5 with 265/35) for about a year and no problem at all I think you should go for it if you are changing tires every 8 months.....

I've got Nexen N3000's on the back, and they don't grip for SHI* when they're wet... just a little moisture makes them spin... They break loose when dry at times too...

Only got em cuz I had to have tires with meat on them, for shipping. NEVER goin down the Nexen road again.

4 tires for $550? That will be OK. This Z is for show anyway. Not a performer.

Garbage in the sense of performance....yes.

Tread life = long, well made, sturdy walls, etc.
