England 2013 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Luxor
Nexens fitted

Well they are on the front, £100 each total inc fitting and balancing. One of the Pirellis changed was actually down to the canvas on the inner edge so I guess I had my money's worth from that bad boy. Initial short drive seemed fine with that new tyre feel you always get, at least one motorway drive this week so that should be a bit more informative.
They should be better than the bald Pirellis - low expectations I know.
I also had the front tracking adjusted which was quite a bit out so probably was the root cause of the wear Thumbs Up Geoff

very good tyres nexens...my only reservation is the slightly softer sidewall which is easily damaged when off road and the visual look of the tyre being under inflated.... ... - .- -.

That's the same as the Yokos I'd never have them again. On the S/C they feel "squishy" round corners. That said; perhaps the Nexens are _less_ soft as I've only really heard good things about them.

And TBF Stan knows infinitely more about these things than me!

I'll be watching your updates with great interest. Thumbs Up

I had been looking into Nexen's too. I don't want to come in between any relationship the site sponsors have but if you are in the north west of england there is a firm doing a set of 4 inc fitting and balance for £395.00, and you can choose 255/50/20 or 275/45/20..... Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Vogue SE Supercharged Zambezi Silver

I recently had 4 Nexens fitted to mine. As Stan says they do feel a bit softer in the corners and i have noticed a bit more road noise than I was getting with the previous Conti's, apart from that they seem OK. Not been offroad with them yet though.

Same here, good tyre but they look like they are lacking air and are a little "soft" while cornering.
They are better on lighter cars.

Given that my Pirellis were shot - these actually feel much more planted on the road. Even the guy at the tyre shop that did the fitting said "a tyre's a tyre" - such a philosopher Very Happy Geoff

Scotland 2014 Range Rover Vogue SDV6 Santorini Black

As posted elsewhere, the SC took a fair old emergency thump up onto a kerb a few days ago. No visible damage to the nearly new Nexen Roadian but today I thought the affected tyre looked under inflated (no TPMS activation). Took it to the tyre machine tonight and just like the opposite tyre, it was at the correct pressure setting. Strange/ just an illusion?

Very impressed with these tyres. Had to make a spirited dash in treacherous road conditions to make an appointment tonight and they never put a sure foot wrong, even on roundabouts and bends. Very good Thumbs Up

they do look under inflated Ryan, its due to the softer more flexible sidewall .... ... - .- -.
