Harsh and fast wearing. Best that can be said is that they are black and round. Will switch to Michelin Alpines as soon as they are a little more worn.

Just had these tires fitted to my astra , 2 new on front and immidatly noticed the difference even in wet roads felt very grippy to me . cant comment on wear yet as only just fitted

These were newly fitted on the rear wheels of the car when I bought it second hand from a Honda dealership. I'd heard of the brand but never bought or knowingly used any Nexen tires before. Nothing to lose then, I thought. As a qualified engineer, I checked the tires regularly and the pressures every 2-3 weeks; no obvious problems / loss of pressure. But only 10K miles later and both rears had to be changed; this seems a short life for the rear of a family saloon driven on country roads in an average driving style. The passenger side rear rapidly became a 'slick' in the few weeks after I last checked the tread depth which was somewhat alarming as this happened during the wet winter. Given the uneven wear between the two sides I had the tracking and (multi-link) suspension professionally checked but no problems were picked up. 2 separate mechanics pointed out that the tires were both evenly worn which makes sense given the lack of problems with the suspension ans tracking. So I can only assume it was the tires.

Overall the driving experience was fine but unexceptional. Never noticed any obvious 'ditch finding tendencies'. So the tire is probably safe enough for average drivers but the wear would put me off buying them again. I have done a lot better with Bridgestone and Goodyear in the past (admittedly on another car - Audi A4); obviously considerably more expensive but cheaper per mile.

These tires recently fitted seem fine . can't understand the bad reviews

I had expensive Continentals on before. these seem just as good. Hope I'm not proved wrong in the future but at ?65 each -at present nothing whatso ever to complain of.

These tires are dangerous in the wet - the grip is none existent even in damp conditions. I changed over to these only 4 weeks ago - I immediately noticed the car swaying on corners - also felt unstable - any dampness I get wheel spin when starting and feels very unstable when cornering - if you break sharply in the damp the car will slide, not stop as I found out recently - this caused me to have an accident - I am taking these tires back after only 4 weeks use. do not buy these tires for your own safety.

I bought my tires from a local company, thinking they would care, but I have been very disappointed. I knew the rear tires needed replacing soon, and so for a while accredited the lack of grip on the front tires I had replaced to those and the seasonal weather conditions, but soon noticed no difference in grip or handling on the front tires. I won't be buying the same tires again.

The handling in the wet is the biggest let down, I had these fitted from new and the fronts have worn down to the strips in 10K with mostly motorway driving. The rears are like new however. They give quite a harsh ride as well, very noticeable on country lanes.
