Tyres generally grip better than the Hankooks they replaced, particularly when pulling away in the wet.

However, I would not buy them again due to the quality of the rubber compound. After just 7000 miles (in 10 months) we are having to look at replacing them due to cracking inbetween the tread blocks and degradation of the sidewall.

These tires performed with a pleasant surprise, I don't know how but they are much better and cheaper than Dunlop Max, which I replaced them with. So much grip that I can't perform a deliberate wheel spin (just for fun sometimes)

These tyres worked well in both dry and wet when new. Braking and handling was fine. They were a softer tyre even as XL compared to OEM Conti Premium Contact which lasted 19000 miles. At 16000 miles the Nexens are down to 2.5 mm and are ready for replacement as on a 16" rim the handling and everything else has deteriorated quite rapidly.

These are not a good tyre for the Lexus CT200h.

The 91W load rating makes the tyre extremely stiff for this car. The tyre shop said they’d be fine but I wish I’d trusted my instincts and bought a tyre with the 87W load rating.

Added to that, the 72 decibel rating makes this a noisy tyre on this car.

In cold January weather they are capable and up to the job but, all in all, not the right choice for me.

When upgrading the rims on my BMW I wanted something predicable I could trust but as the car is only used in the spring summer and autumn didn't want to pay the price for pilot sport 4s. Wanted a good buget brand and looking at Uniroyal rainsport 3 and and hankook evo2 as I've had them on other cars and the grip has been fantastic. So after finding these nexens at a cheaper price than my go to tyres and a A grip rating plus good reviews on here I give them a go and I've not been disappointed. The car being over 300bhp and 600nm and equipped with a LSD you have to be really pushing to get the tail out in the dry . In wet it is very predictable no understeer that I have found. predictable oversteer all in all am very pleased they are lasting well to.

I bought these tyres when I replaced my factory wheels, as they wouldn't clear the upgraded brakes back in 2014.

The compound felt soft, and thr tyres appeared to have a nice tread pattern.

Dry performance on the road has been superb considering the price I paid for these ($150 a corner). I never really took the car out in the rain, so can't really comment on wet performance.

On the track, the tyres were acceptable, but nothing amazing. I found them to be predictable, and I knew their limits, which admittedly was quite early. Once they heated up too much, they would skate around a lot, which wouldn't inspire much confidence. As I've driven them pretty hard, they've started splitting pretty badly along the outside area of the tread, and I've taken it as a sign to retire them, despite them still having plenty of tread life.

I would absolutely recommend these for a road car if you're on a budget, they gripped really well at regular speeds, even with spirited driving. On the street I had so much confidence in these tyres. I would consider these on a low powered track car (maybe something like a Civic or an Excel for example) , but once you move into anything heavier and more powerful, it would be worth moving to a better tyre.

HI
This tire is good at handling

Bought 4 new tyres for my 2009 Mazda 6 2.5 Petrol Hatchback, UK model. Payed £65 per corner, fitted. Tyre ratings are C and C.

They are generally good tyres... Dry and wet grip are good, noise is low and comfort is good. After 7000 miles the fronts are at 4mm and rears at 6mm so swapped around as the car is starting to understeer badly in the wet. So, not very long lasting tyres on this Mazda and I would not buy again as the price doesn't warrant the short life and average sporting performance. Probably decent tyres for a slower, more progressive driver.

Surprisingly shocked with these tyres. I had OEM continental sport contacts on my car before and I feel these tyres are on par, with slightly less road noise and more comfortable. I often drive in sport and occasionally in sport+ and the grip in dry weather is impressive. Incredible value for money and would buy for sure again if the prices don’t increase too much in the future.

Changed to Nexen after my originally fitted Continental Sport Contact 5 were worn to the limit in only 22k miles.
The SU1 replacements have been superb, with very little difference in performance at almost half the price.
Now covered 13k miles and still like new.
Very impressed with the lack of noise and excellent dry and wet handling too.

I have these tyres on my current BMW E65 730D on 20" Style 149 alloys and they're very good tyres indeed.

Bought them off the back of owning them on some 18" alloys on a previous E39 530i and again, I found them to be very good, with great grip and driving feedback

They grip very well in the dry and very well in the wet also. Their feedback is good, not a lot of road noise and they make for a very compliant ride as well.

For their price I think they'd be very hard to beat with any other tyre!

started off with goodyear eagle f1 as2 (brillent tyre) then couldnt get them anymore and tried the nitto invo (very good tyre) then wanted a change to hopefully better tyre but these ended up worse than the nitto and not even close to the f1.

quite dissapointed with my tyre guy as quality getting worse every change of tyre so shopped around and ended up now on a michelen pilot sport 4 (brillent tyre)

su1 was not very good in the wet (from the strat) and noisy towards the end. reccommend another tyre if not to much more expensive like the michelin im on now.
