It is an unremarkable UHP all-season tire. Nexen's only tire of interest is their new N6000, which is a summer-only tire. Nexen's N3000 is good for drifting, which I don't think many of us do in our 4-door TLs.

How much were they?

The Nexens were on my 05 when I bought it. Didn't really care for them. They were already cupped some and that was driving me crazy. Put on some Pirelli PZeroNero A/S and night and day difference.

nexen to start off with is a cheap brand tire.. the n3 n5 n7 arnt pretty good. they all lose traction at high speeds.. and suck with water... trust me.. ive seen things happen with these tires. best tires for that size is Yokohama's. dunlop sp sport/max, falken fk452, dunlop direzza..

Yea you guys...if all you want is a cheap tire that are pretty quiet and and are good in water then these'll be fine. I'm not sure how long they last but ill have sold them long before I get to find out. Dry performance wise these tires are actually pretty good untill about 75-80% of the limit. Once you get close to the limit you'll notice how insanely soft the sidewalls of these tires are. It is actually pretty pitiful...you can actually feel the car roll over the sidewall. If you floor it out of a turn with the wheel turned slightly the tires just roll on the sidewall and spin...the tires I had on stock were MUCH better in this respect. Overall for my needs(or wants) I would never get these tires. But for someone who never takes their car to or near the limit, these are great. They actually feel glued to the road wet and dry untill you get near the limit.
