Nexen sucks
This isn't a question for anybody, just a warning. DON'T BUY NEXEN TIRES! I had half bald, cupped Kumho's and I could go through a corner like a bat out of hell. I go brand new Nexen tire (all I could afford) and now I slide at 2/3 the speed going thru corners. I got what I paid for. Thought I would let you know.

Never bough a nexen tire, but you should of looked into hankook tires. They're cheap and not to bad. I kinda like mine :)

I have nexen n5000s and they are great. P215/R50/17s
Mine don't slide, they are quiet and ride great.
I can take turn offs @ 30 to 35 with mine with no side wall roll or skidding.
AWD FTW...
Maybe it is the wing that is causing it, to much downforce on the back lifting the front up HAHAHA LOL

I like BridgeStone Potenzas myself but the are expensive. The reason I picked up the nexens is because they are all season.
If I get rims, I'll get some z rated tires for summer only and ride stock in the winter.

Kuhmo's are the biggest pile of shit ever. Nexan's are honestly better than Kuhmo's IMO. They were probably just old and sitting around for a long time before they put them on your car. Yokohamas are my favorite, Falkens are second, and BFG's are third

Hmmm I've never had any experience with Nexens but I enjoy my Khumo Ecstas on 17" Motegi MR7s very nicely.
