I bought a pair of these after reading the reviews on here, and i'm pleased to say they live up to the reviews in every way. I was getting though Pirelli P-Zero Nero tyres like no tomorrow, so i was on the lookout for a cheaper alternative as i was fed up on spending £120 per tyre every few months.
The Nexens are every bit as good as the Pirellis i replaced. If anything, the only negative (if you can call it that) is that in the dry on hard cornering they squeal a little bit. The thing that struck me most is how quiet they are, the grip is excellent in both dry and wet conditions. I went through a large puddle in the pouring rain on the motorway recently, and instinctively gripped the steering wheel hard expecting the car to aquaplane and the steering go light. I needn't have worried, the grip was maintained though all the standing water and the car was rock solid.
So far i've done around 3000 miles on them and the tread looks as deep as when i bought them, so the longevity looks good so far.
In a nutshell, i highly rate these tyres and will most definitely be buying them again. Oh, and i got a pair for the cost of one Pirelli. Can't beat that really!
