Excellent combination of price and quality. Does not become hard in frost, -20 degrees does not become hard, holds the road perfectly. Acts adequately on asphalt, noise within normal limits. On snowy roads - pure pleasure. Good sliding resistance. Satisfied with choice.

A worthy price-quality ratio. A 265/65 R17 tyre is fitted on a 2-tonne SUV with a permanent four-wheel drive and an on-demand front-wheel drive. According to the manual, the recommended pressure is 2.2 - 2.3 bar. The driving style is predominantly relaxed. The car behaves perfectly well with this tyre. It is quiet. Soft and comfortable. It is not sensitive to the track. Very grippy. It holds well on a snowy road

Excellent tire, even on dry winter conditions, no studs or tread blocks lost. At minus 10 degrees Celsius, tire is soft, no elasticity loss. Didn't test lower temperatures yet this winter. Balanced properly. Already bought a second set for the second family car after testing it on the first one.

Excellent tires, second time buying for Toyota IST (Scion Xa).
Previous set went for two years, full year without change, it just so happened. Installed at the end of 2013, wore out winter/summer 2014, winter/summer 2015. For the second winter (after full-year drive) it held up quite well on ice. At present there is a bit of tread left (that is, more than the minimum allowed) and

Disappointed with the tires. Aquaplaning starts too early - DANGEROUS! On a snowy mix, it feels like I'm driving on summer tires - SLIPPERY! DANGEROUS! On wet asphalt, they behave normally, but that's not reassuring. Winter is coming, let's see how it goes. If it's bad - I'll get rid of them! Master of Rally Valery Parfenyuk.

I bought these tires after my Hankook S wore out, and put them back on. As the front still had the old tire on it, I didn't notice much of a difference compared to Nokian. However, there is one "but", Nexen is much quieter and to my surprise, softer. When ordering these tires, I was hesitant for a long time whether I should buy them. Now, I can confidently say that I'm very satisfied. For the price, I wouldn't

I have been using this tire for the second season on a 17" 225/60 size vehicle.
It has shown itself to be a high performer during the season.
The treads have remained perfectly intact over the past two seasons, and despite exceeding 15,000 km, it looks like it's brand new. It makes very little noise compared to its non-studded counterparts!!!
The sidewall is very soft, making it seem like it's def- Vehicle:

Grand Starex, rear-wheel drive, no locking differential. This tire replaced a Nokia Hakkapeliitta 5. Compared to it, the Nexen is much quieter. Handling and braking are stress-free on both highways and dirt roads. The load index is very good at 106 - there's even a surplus for a microbus with a full load. It handles well. A fully worthy option for the price.

I got my tyres a week after payment. Replaced my "Sport" on September 15th. Rode for a month and didn't have any particularly impressive feelings, but the tyre is good and soft, the price is reasonable (4323 rub on purchase) and holds the road well, the snow (which fell on September 20) doesn't slip in turns. I'm satisfied with the price and quality.
