Nexen Tire Reviews 58

Purchased 4 new Nexen tyres for my Kia Sportage. On delivery, one tyre was found to be faulty BEFORE being fitted to the rim. Nexen refused to replace this new tyre claiming it was not covered by their warranty! The tyre had never been driven on the road!! So, it's clear that do not accept responsibility for manufacturing faults or have any quality control. Will never buy Nexen again and will revert to a well known brand.

I drive with Nexen N blue 4 Season, and the grip is fantastic. Even in the rain it handles well

My nearly-new Skoda came with Nexen tyres fitted. Two years and 24000 miles later they had developed a noticeable drumming noise and on inspection by the dealer were found to be stepped and worn irregularly across the treads of all four wheels. So I have the expense of replacing all four tyres that are barely half worn down. Not happy.

Awful tyres. Bought a new Kia sportage 2023. Have done 20000 km.
They are very noisy and feel like they are going to break. Will be replacing with better quality tyres. Never driven on such a bad set of tyres. My son also bought a new kia cerato in 2023. He has had to replace the tyres with another brand after 15000 after numerous issues and tyres constantly going flat. Will never purchase these tyres again poor quality and slip in the wet and go flat very quickly.

I bought a 2022 tyre in 2023 ...it failed in 2024 july ...the worst tyre ive tried to date

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. I bought a new KIA Car that come up with Nexen Tire. With in two months tires start bubbling and creating sound due to cracks and internal damage. The worst thing is that even the customer service was not ready to accept their mistake and producing fake reports to put the damages on the user.

Sidewall blew out with only 8600 miles on new car. I recommend keeping your family safe by running away from these badly made tires. Very thin, with widely spaced belts belt make these tires a real safety hazard. We will not drive another mile on Nexen tires.

Last year i had 2x nexen nfera su1 225/45/19 fitted by my local Renault garage. Its less than a year and about 9-10k miles and there is like 3mm tread left on them. Rubish..

Tyres are shredded at 30.000 km! Conservative lady driver. Came on my new car. Cheap rubbish!

Bought a 2011 Freelander in September 2023. Had Land Rover check the vehicle over and they advised I needed two new tyres on the front. I replaced the front tyres with Nexen. It is now April 2024 (6 months and 4000 miles later) and the tyres were so worn I have had to have them replaced with Pirelli. National Tyres had never seen such rapid wear in tyres. Avoid Nexen tyres!

I bought a mercedes ml500 with four new nexen roadian tyres fitted already. These were the worst tyres i have ever had for retaining little stones in the treads, click click click all day long. Was going slowly down a rough farm track and i nipped the sidewall of the tyre on a rock and split it. Took to the tyre man who took the tyre off and replaced with the same and said the side walls were the thinest he had come across. I felt the one he took off and it was thin as paper. Terrible tyres and will never buy a car fitted with these rubbish tyres again or indeed buy this make.

Brilliant service and costs the lads were great and sorted us out quickly 👍 highly recommend them.
Thank you
Mr Bentley 😊

I have experienced the same problem with cracking as the other reviewers here. My Skoda, which I purchased from new and is two years old and only covered 6500 miles, now requires all four tyres replacing. These are the worst tyres I have had the misfortune to have on a vehicle.
The manufacturer and dealership opinion is that it is fair wear and tear or misuse ( I regularly monitor my tyre pressures). I let you draw your own conclusions!!

My wife's brand new 2018 KIA Picanto came with Nexen tyres. After 4 years and 7900milage, all 4 tyres developed cracks inside the grooves. We had to replace all 4 tyres, and Stapleton Tyres, who are agents for Nexen Tyres in UK, gave me a 'run-around' and finally refused to refund me, making silly excuses. I have their letter. And, KIA just washed their hands off my problem.

very noisy, 4000 miles allfour tyers are wearing, replacing them with a primeum brand

I bought 6 new nexen roadion at pros 33x15 3.5 years ago and over this I have replace 4 of theses tyres all from delamated [separated] on the tread. It should be noted that the wholesalers will not come to the assistance of the tyre supplier. Photos are available from me. I'm from Queensland Australia Brisbane area. I truly would not give a rating of more then 1/2 persent for the quality of their tyres.

First time I had Nexen tyres I had no problem at all. Unfortunately it's not the case this time. Tyres have done less then 10,000 miles only 3 years old and they are badly cracked all around the the circumference. I'm going to replace them with a premium brand and will not purchase or recommend Nexen again.

Three years ago a Toyota dealership supplied and fitted 4 Nexen tyres under MoT and service
ONE year ago One of these was replaced again due to a bulge on the inside wall.
And now after a service and MoT...The MoT pass....shows advisory on all 4 tyres for ageing and cracks....Including the tyre that is ONLY ONE Year OLD!
They are not safe and NOW need to change to a PREMIUM Tyre for safety Concerns..
In america there are lawyers who specialise in claims against Nexen...and there had been a call for a RECALL on certain Tyres.The car will not be used until New Tyres Are Fitted!

done 20k kms on sealed roads,careful driver,noticed noise and shudder in car,took to tyre company and they said two of the tyres were faulty and had developed cracks.

My 20,000 mile when purchased Ford focus came with a near new set of Nexen front tyres. The rear tyres are the original Continentals (now 25K miles and still with lots of tread). The nexen tyres are full of cracks round the outer edges and into the inner tread on the outer sides of both tyres. I have only done 5,000 miles on them and am not an aggressive driver. I am starting to suspect that it is where the tyre is exposed to the sun and daylight that the problem is occurring, but who knows, they are rubbish tyres.
