heard good things about these nexens- budgets aren't what they used to be- a lot better now- and some say the nexens are now an intermediate tyre.
The people who say that are the people who consider Nexens an upgrade. Honestly, they are still budget rubber and they are still arse. I've only ever seen them used by people who either can hardly afford to maintain their car or who spend all of their budget on bling and have nothing left for rubber. Save your coin and get some good tyres while your new wheels. You'll thank yourself for it.
 
Try camskill for tyres they seem to be about the cheapest loads of choices and prices

They came out quite well in a comparison test over here:)
 
Put a pic up of the tyres, now much tread do you have left ? Is there any canvas showing ? Will they fail mot ?
 
Minimum 1.6 mm or more over the centre three quarters of tyre is all that is needed to pass test. They will look totally knackered but still legal. Advisory yes but fail no. :D:D
 
Nexen roadians

Brill tyres, were on the alloys when I bought them, so kept the same make when I got two new ones recently.

Can't complain, good on road, fine in snow

Can't be spending £300 a tyre for Michelins now lol
hippo nothing wrong with nexens there a good higher end budget tyre ive never had one returned for any reason,accellera are popular but altenzos seem to be the most im selling at moment and to be fair they carry a lifetime guaruntee against defects providing they have min 2mm even wear remaining,people just dont spend there hard earned cash so easy now on high end stuff:frown:i run pirelli scorpion zero m+s a good allround tyre(Part worns always for me ive always got em in stock:D)
 
Going to be away for work next week so needed to get it MOT'd asap. Went round to three independent tyres places in my lunch break- but Kwik fir were the cheapest for NEXENs- 4 for £350 incl fitting balancing valves etc. Thanks for the offer Will- really appreciate it. All the chaps I spoke to today were singing the praises of Nexens- saying a premium is not really worth the extra on the new price. Like everything- budget tyres have had to up their game- and people haven't got the money to throw away on branded tyres now!

They are cheap aren't they! But considering they are £84 plus delivery + fitting- don't really think that £350 fitted is too bad really. Just to be nosey-what would your company mark up on a £84 tyre? ;)
