Any updates on the Nexen N3000 or N5000? I haven't been able to find much on either one (a few random forum posts on other sites, but that's all). It looked like several folks around here were going to try them, and an update would be great since there seem to be few reviews on these tires. Please include which nexens ones you have, and how many miles you have on them, and a few brief comments...they would help a lot. Thanks.

 

i have about 500 miles on my235/40/18 Nexen N3000 tires. for how they handle, they are definitely a great bang for the buck. not sure on tire wear, though. would think that being so sticky they won't last nearly as long. extra tire noise is hardly noticeable.

 

How is the wet traction?

 

ive put on a couple thousand on my 235/40-18 N3000's and i have had no problems whatsoever. treadwear is very good as i dont see any visual indications, because i still havnt gotten an alignment ever since i got these installed. interior noise isnt as bad as people think. wet traction was pretty good. the car felt fairly planted on tight turns and hydroplaning wasnt too much of an issue. for the money, its a decent deal.

 

any feedback on the N5000? does anyone own them? im thinking about switching over to these from Falken ZE512s

 

Me too. I have the same size tires and I am happy with them so far. I probably have about 5k on them, they seems to have good wet and dry grip (though I do not test them much when its wet). They are not loud either. So far so good for me.

 

Getting a set of the Nexen3000 245/45/18 installed on Monday.




Replacing

 

just had an autocross session / novice class today on my 235/40/18 N3000s. not the stickiest tires by far when pushed to the limits, but overall, i was able to put down competitive times. for spirited street driving, though, these are great.

 

the n3000 are loud when they are about dead. I need to replace mine soon probally with in a month. But wet weather they are amazing i dont seem to slid around at all and when i went to an empty parking lot to try and have some fun i couldnt tires just wouldnt give out and slide
