So... My two new Nexens arrived in better post, 48 hours after ordering them. Just under £180 to your door which isn't to be sniffed at.

I found nexens a good budget tyre. The road holding was good, they stopped the car aquaplaning, they were quiet on the road, generally good all round.

Nexens are ok, and at under - £100 a tyre very good value - they do the job ok and nothing more - but you cannot compare them to a better quality tyre. You notice the difference when the car is driven harder - especially on bends - the soft tyre walls are the limiting factor. I took mine off after 5k miles and replaced them with General AT's - 13k miles and still on 10mm tread depth with a digital scale 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

@ Googsy 275 45 20 same dia as std 255 50 20 . The only negative is a slight hum from the tyres but the off road ability and snow capability is far better than the std road tyres / scorpians 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

The tyre wall depth is the same with the General AT as oem - the 45 profile is a percentage of the width - if you went to the RRS profile of 275 40 20 them yes there is a difference.
