N5000 Plus

“Nexen N5000+ 245/45-18”

Tire Shopped for months until I finally decided to give these Nexens a try. First things first… I upgraded from 16″ wheels to 18″ wheels on my car. For the price, these tires are not bad at all. My car is strictly a highway commuter to work, to the tune of 460 miles a week. I wanted something that would go through rain, light snow and occasional sleet, freezing rain and maybe ice. I also wanted something that I could get some mileage out of since I put alot of miles on the car. Again, for the price, these Nexens are working just fine. They are quiet, have handled rain well, and feel pretty stable on the road. I cannot comment on winter weather yet since I just got them a month ago. I replaced both my front and rear suspension parts on the car before the tires went on. Then the car was aligned afterwards. So I hope to get close to the 65,000 mileage warranty on them. I am happy with them so far. While they are not Michelins or Goodyears, they are doing just fine. I was really close to buying the Cooper RS3A but the $40 a tire price difference couldn’t be justified at the time. If you are looking for an ultra high performance all season tire, and not a high performance summer tire, definitely give these Nexen N5000 Plus tires a look.
