I had them on previous car, they are quiet, smooth, good traction. My only complaint was the sidewalls were a little soft but still handled good.

No real compliants, the price is right for sure.

I just ordered a set today, hope it works out well with them. I paid 289 for a set of 4 plus 79 for shipping. My local dealership quoted me a cheapest set @ 950 and best set at 1350. Figure the price of the nexen is worth checking out compared to the alternative.

I've got them. They've got pretty good traction and tread life. Very good for a cheap street tire IMO.
