New winter shoes - Nexen

[MosH]

So I decided to get a set of dedicated winter/snow tires put on my factory 18" rims and take the 20" wheels off for the winter. After the first bit of snow we just had I was not happy with the hancook "all season" 20" tires at all, couldn't stop or turn.
I had a limited choice of tire since most were sold out by now however they did have the Nexen Winguard SUV, based on the price and lack of information I was hestitant however they did have the snowflake and mountain symbol so I went for it, so far they are a pleasure. Very quiet, very smooth, no vibration, truck feels great. I will let you know how these perform in the snow as soon as I get a chance to test them either locally or on my first snowboard trip up north.

I paid $150.00 each mounted and balanced 255/55/18

They also agreed to swap my tires/rims for me seasonally as part of free rotation.

Hah I had Nexen N3000s on my Grand Prix before I sold it, and N5000s on the Infiniti, all around great deal for the price - the N3's were a little mushy in wet conditions but the N5s did GREAT when we had 50+ inches of snow earlier this year and plows were just scraping down to hardpack...
Highly recommend the brand for bang-for-your-buck.

no need to wait for snow to give us a report. you should be able to feel the difference as the temperature approaches freezing in the dry or wet. if it is not a night and day difference, something is wrong...

thank you for making the roads safer for everyone by getting rid of those all season tires during the winter.
