Nexen CP641 Reviews

Given 93% (breakdown) while driving a Renault Scenic (205-50-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
The Michelins on the Scenic were still showing good tread but wet weather driving was fearful. Having put Nexens on my Focus the tyre dealer recommnded these for the Renault. The car drives far more positively , quieter and the handling is far better in the dry and starting to bring back the confidence in the wet. I notice that these tyres are now being fitted as standard equipment and I can understand why. These are more expemsive than bargain basement makes but do give the european premium tyres a run for their money. Michelins £500 Nexen £250.

Given 46% (breakdown) while driving a Mercury Sable (215-60-16-T)
Driving on mostly town for 10 average miles
Bought 2003 Mercury Sable used, fitted with Nexens. Good looking product and adequate remaining tred but now have belt separation @ about 20,000 miles. Ride is unforgiving with medium road noise overall. Wet handling is insecure and snow/ice traction is non-existant. Plan to replace with Hankook Optimo H727's

Given 60% (breakdown) while driving a Subaru legacy (205-50-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 8,000 average miles
I have a 2008 subaru legacy and the tire worked great on dry pavement and good in wet conditions. But I would not use these tire in the snow. They are not safe on snow. You are asking for trouble if you buy these tires for snow. No way. Even with all wheel drive, the car is like a sled with wheels.

Given 46% (breakdown) while driving a Lexus SC300 (225-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
I've had these tires on for 25,000 miles (40,000km). Initially they had good grip all around. There is no abnormal wear at all on them, yet the grip has progressively gotten worse. At this point they have absolutely no grip on wet road surface. Even though the vehicle is automatic, it still manages to freely spin the rear tires every time the driver tries to take off from a complete stop. On dry pavement the grip is good to very good, depending on the surface. The ride comfort is also good, however they do follow grooves in the pavement and the driver needs to constantly keep both hands on the steering wheel to avoid unwanted wandering. The tire is advertised as an all season by Nexen with a life of 55,000 miles, however it proves to be a strictly summer tire and the expected life is about half of what's advertised. They were very well priced and I give them that, but don't expect wet grip or sustained good grip as thread wears off.

Given 90% (breakdown) while driving a Nissan Qashqai (225-45-17-)

A good tyre for the money giving a very comfortable ride in my Qashqai and with very little road noise. Will buy again.

Given 86% (breakdown) while driving a Toyota verso 1.8vvt t3 (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Fed up with shelling out for Dunlops and so on I decided to fit these Nexens. Car is noticeably quieter at speed and noticeably more comfortable in all conditions. Seem to be waring very well also. I'm really impressed. Also got a superb warranty on them. These have completely chnaged my views on tyre buying - their great.

Given 60% (breakdown) while driving a Chrysler (215-65-16-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Standard fit is Goodyear NCT, but not really noticed the difference. Had no grip problems in the recent snow. Would probably buy again if wear rate is good.
