Opinions on nexen roadian tires? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looking at many wheel & tire packages, it generally seems like the nexen roadian hp tires are the or close to the cheapest option. So what's the general thought on their performance? Is it a decent, serviceable option for me to go with or am I just going to want to change them out after a year? I like that they're inexpensive for obvious reasons. I also like that they're all seasons. Being in Minnesota, it's pretty much a necessity that my next tires are able to deal with sub 40F temps at any time of the year, which my stock pirellis absolutely can't (ie record-setting May 1st snowfalls).

Have em on the wife's tahoe. Absolutely hate them. Gonna throw them away after about 3000 miles. They flat spot, wont balance, and are noisy.

Damn Woolf, I am the opposite.

I have them on my '11 SS and love them! I will buy another set when it's needed. They are super quiet, balance better than some performance tires I've used and are lasting a LONG time.

I had them on my 2009 Charger. Had 22s and had zero problems over 3.5 years. Tires still had plenty of tread and mine were quiet as well.

I'm jealous. Did I mention mine are cupping to. Proper inflation, and the truck is new. Really sucks

yeah, from what i could find, they really seem to be hit or miss...which is apparently continuing here :/

Hmm, guess I got lucky. I agree with Nutro, I would of bought another set when needed.

If they are hit and miss I may have to rethink that next time, sorry to hear that guys.
