Does anyone have an opinion of or experience with Nexen N3000 tyres?

My gf has these on her Volvo S40 T4, she is currently running 18s on them and they ride fine....no road noise and grips well!

thanks guys

main reason I ask is the deal I'm getting at a tyre shop is the Osaka RS5 wheels + Nexen N3000 tires x 4 fitted for $1900 after trade in for my stock wheels.

Not knowing much about pricing I'm not after the best deal in the country but I'd like to know if I'm getting jacked at all. Reviews say these tires are on the cheaper side but still good value.

just noticed ur trading in your stock gt wheels remember your wheels are worth about $400 with any kind of tyres, add some decent tyres and the price goes up

Nexen N3000 are a cheap shit horrible tyre.
I have had the following over the last few years, rating from worst to best:
Achillies Somethingerother (came on the lib - horrible noisy and no grip)
Nexen N3000 (very little grip, especially as they wore below 50%)
Maxxis MA-V1 (overall good budget tyre, far better than nexens but not great still)
Federal 595ss (see below)
Bridgestone Potenza 040 (great OEM tyre)
Toyo T1Rs (Best tyres for grip wet/dry but do wear rather quick)

Of all the tyres I've had, best bang for buck has been the Federal 595ss by far. I found they were great in both wet and dry, reasonably quiet and great value. The Bridgy's were OEM on my SP23, and the T1Rs are what I replaced them with. Both great tyres, but at 60%+ than the federals, I dont believe they were worth the extra $$ on a daily driver.

My opinion - federal 595ss is the best bang for buck/cheaper tyre as its not much more than the nexen/maxxis but provides far greater grip but still good wear.

Yea my sisters got them with Avanti Meducas on her Astra. They seam to handle well. There's a bit of road noise but all in all they are really good. Shes done 30000km on them and they still have 3mm left.

unforuntately their on to 3.0R atm and i don't like them. seem to promote understeer and a general lack of grip in dry and wet. Braking isn't what i'd call fantastic either. brand new too I'll go back to Michelins or bridgestones asap
