Usually i am a tyre snob but i heard a lot of good things about nexen and about how good value for money they are so i thought there worth a punt.
First off i bought the SU1's and fitted them to the front of my Focus ST which is running 350bhp and 400lbft. These tyres where good a good all rounder for the price but i wanted better traction in the dry so i decided to go for the the SU4's after reading some of the reviews.
The SU4's are fantastic for the price grip is up there with the big brands they are also very comfortable and relatively quiet with good road feedback, i can't really comment on wear as ive only had them a month but the soft compound big named sporty tyres are hardly hard wearing so if im getting 6-8 month of spirited driving out of these for the price its a no brainer.
Over all im over the moon with these they are well worth the price and i would recommend them to anyone.

I had them for 2 years and 21k miles. I drove my car every day in all weather conditions, sometimes i push it hard, never had any problems.
I change them today and they still have 2mm of ruber, put new nexen su4 again.

I put these tyres on the rear wheels and i am so surprised by the good quality of these tyres. They are about 40% cheaper than the big brands but they are obviously quiet and stable, and have very good grip both in dry and wet. Relatively speaking, this tyre may not the best as far as wear is comcerned, but I don't mind because I ll change my tyres after about 15000 km anyway.

Had these tyres fitted some two weeks ago, as good as the continentals taken off.I would say the road noise is less and grip is equally as good at less than half the price.

Purchased a pre owned Audi A4 1.8t that had Nexen Su4 225 45 17 already fitted on by the dealer. I had never heard of this brand before but was extremely impressed on how quiet this tyre was and how smooth and silent the ride felt with the lowest rolling resistance I have ever experienced on a tyre. This tyre is best suited for a conservative driver as I did not feel there was enough cornering ability as the car would roll over in corners. Also under hard cornering the tyre felt like it was rolling over the rim. Only had the tyres on for 4000km and then changed to good year Eagle f1 which provides the best all round performance. Reason for changing was the tyre was hopping...it not completely round... not sure what this was due to. As I had lower grade replica rims and not sure if this caused the shape of the tyre to change. I still think this tyre deserves some credit for the price and quality of comfort it offers as compared to other premium brands. PS... the supplier of the tyres happily gave me a credit on the faulty tyres.
So if you are someone that's not fussy about how a tyre performs give this one a try...hopefully my experience with the tyre issue was rare once off as most people on this blog have praised this tyre. I am tempted to try it again though... maybe I had a bad batch???

Had the continental contactsport 5 before, but changed them with the nexen su4. These wheels are just superb better than my previous tires (contis sport 5 and vredestein ultra vorti) they are very comfortable and the grip is immense on dry and even better on raining days. Only downside is that i want to put these tires also on my 19s, but they dont have the right size for my car unfortunatly :(

Given 100% while driving a Skoda Fabia 1.2TSI 77KW(stage 1 to 100KW) (205/40 R17) on mostly motorways for 500 spirited miles
I just bought these tires after reading the reviews on this site. These tires have better official ratings than any tire in the same class from Continental, Bridgestone...
I must say that I am amazed by them. The grip is phenomenal and the feedback is amazing. I got the feeling that these tires have a very low rolling resistance, as the car almost goes by itself :)
I tested it on a long motorway drive and also in the country side curved road and they always held my car firmly on the road.

I will update my review if I find any problem with them, but for now I recommend them to anybody who wants a medium priced tyre with a good grip in dry and wet.

Dry wet grip is good until temperature drops below 3C thats is when tyre becomes hard and losses grip don't get caught by this. Lasted 10K on heavy diesel estate on the front so unless you get it < 50 a corner it is not worth it.

Bought these as tyres for new wheels when I replaced the old ones, which had Nexen N1000s on them. The tyres I bought are actually Roadstones on the sidewall, but they are the exact same in every way.

I'm actually really pleased with these, another good and low cost tyre from Nexen. The tyre composes itself very well in the dry, and has better aquaplaining resistance than the N1000s I had previous, but as usual do not come close to the Rainsport 3s from Uniroyal. Road feedback is really good, the sidewalls are nice and stiff too so there's no unnecessary roll on them. Wear wise, the tyres are lasting very well given the occasional fast road use that they see, so I'm very happy on that front. Comfort wise they're not the world's quietest tyres, but they're quite easily drowned out by just turning the music up a little.

Given the £42.50 per corner these cost on eBay at 225/40/18 size, I'm pretty chuffed with the tyres. Overall would recommend to anyone.
