Nexen N3000

Cant really comment on wear but these tyres grip very, very well in the dry. They are a tad louder than old set but most V tread tyres are the same.

Overall very good indeed.

No bad,good price but lamentably noisy tyres.
I recommend it

I have put a lot of abuse on these tires and I continue to be impressed with them, given the price I paid for them at the time. I got these when they were new on the market for 70usd a piece(now nearly double that), which for most tires... is the range you do not want, but these have proven themselves to be otherwise.

Street, dry, traction is impressive for what they are and the noise or squeal through corners... well honestly I have trouble getting them to make any noise below 50mph through a hard corner. Wheelspin is also impressive given the tread rating. I have put over 15k miles on them with -2 or more camber at all times and the tread is still above 60% despite being tracked multiple times and daily driven.

Street, wet, we all know that in wet that tires will lose a lot of traction... however these tires specifically give no indication of going past their limits and simply put, one minute you have traction and the next second you dont. If you take a corner too fast with these in the wet you WILL lose traction, on the front it will understeer, on the rear it will oversteer and if you have them on all four corners you will slide into the curb. These are not tires for going fast in the wet.

Street, snow, quite honestly.. I am VERY surprised at how well they grip in snow and ice given that they are a summer tire exclusively. Being said given their wet traction I would not push these tires, but you shouldnt have to worry about them losing traction IF you drive respectably.

Dragstrip, dry, traction is again like the street impressive despite the tread rating. They grip considerably well except on heavy 5k+ launches, wheelspin is minimal compared to other tires of the same range.

Circuit, dry, as above traction is decent and the noise through cornering is a lot lower than some other tires. They just refuse to squeal as much as some Pirellis I've used. You can feel when they are about to give on the track, compared to the street where you never really reach that breaking point; and as opposed to wet where it simply snaps off.

Overall, for the price the performance given is remarkable, not many tires in this pricerange can offer the same level of performance. Normally tires in this range make you feel like you're driving a TVR Tuscan with bald tires, which IS scary, these however do not feel like that at all. Well worth the money if you need a GOOD cheap tire.

Obviously these will not grip as much as Goodyear Eagle F1s, or Bridgestone Potenzas, but for what they are they are good tires.

For what it's worth, my 300zx TT has 245/45 Nexen N3000's all round and the bottom line is that the rear in the wet is just "not funny" dangerous. So, if you have a performance RWD car, either don't drive in the wet or drive like an OAP. In my case, the latter. Great price however, just the grip is always on my mind.

The front tyres need replacing and so will probably move the rear's to the front and go for quality rear tyres. Originally it had Bridgestone Potenza's on it, and they worked an absolute treat. Would prefer peace of mind over the budget in this case.

Can’t complain too much about these tyres, they are cheap and they last a lifetime, which I’m not sure is always a good thing! I feel perhaps the compound is a little too hard which equates to lower grip levels when cold. The grip is by no means shocking, but is lacking compared to a higher budget tyre.

Had these tyres fitted by Vauxhall Dealer in August 2010 on front wheels. Grip has generally been good, however tread wears extremely quickly. It's now January 2011 and after only 7000 miles they're down to 2mm of tread, and wet and snow performance is as you would expect now dreadful. In comparison, a new Uniroyal Rainsport 2 was fitted to the rear, and over the same mileage has lost just 1mm in tread. Ok rear tyres are under less stress on a FWD car, but the difference is incredible.

In summary, whilst the tread is good, they perform well, but the wear rate is rudiculous.

I've had 2 full sets of these, they are hard wearing and seem to take everything without any bad effects. They certainly suite this type of car.

Very cheap tyres recommended by my local tyre dealer - I was suspicious! However, I found them to be very quiet and they performed well in all weather (NB we don't get any snow around here). I know it's trite, but I like the look of them too!

These tyres were great to start off with but the wear is shocking. After 10,000 miles there was a massive difference in wet driving - back end slipping on light acceleration off roundabouts and corners. As they were ?100 less per tyre than some premium ones it would seem a good buy even for reduced milage but I say avoid and go mid range - looking at Falken FK452 for the next ones judging on others review.

Excellent tyre. Quieter than the previous Continentals I had fitted and half the price. It's a no brainer for me when it comes to replacing them again.
