Title: Nexen M/T Tires
Post by: sklope on September 03, 2009, 08:55:07 PM
Has anybody bought these tires? My Destiny M/T's are getting a little slick. Called Pep Boys and they went up on the price of their Destiny's from $99 in October of 06 to $125 present day. Thats almost $600 with balance and install.

Decided to look on the web and found Nexen M/T's for $75 a piece and I can get them monted for $15 a piece at the local tire store! :laugh:

 I have already ordered them,....just wondering if anybody else has used them? ???

Apparently it is a South Korean company.  Nice looking tread on it though, reminds me of the old BFG MTRs.

Found one guy who liked them a few years ago - http://www.pointnshoot.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=4

If I picked them up I would take a heat knife and sipe the center tread.  Give them a bit more flex.  :)

Look at the ones from www.treadwright.com.  I had them on my 90 and they were loud but unstoppable.  Also cheap at $60 a tire.

Treadwright sucks now that they no longer sell the BFG knockoffs in 235/75/r15.

Well they don't suck, but i'm mad they canceled them and now sell a cheesy AT instead.

I had BFG's on my Jeep.  The look cool but don't hold a candle offroad to a true mud ire.  They were much quieter though.

They have the OTR, which is what I've been running for a LONG time.  I've gotten really good mileage out of them.  Not much wheeling, mostly street driving, but still, and great tire for the money.

I received my tires with no problem and as promised! Had them installed and so far I am very happy with them. 8) They ride much smoother than the previous tires I had. This may be due to the tread design. The tire is more aggressive than a A/T but not as aggressive as the Destiny M/T's that I had previously on the Tracker. The better ride may also be due to the rubber being softer than what I had and the tires may not last as long. ??? For $75 a tire and if they last 20 to 30K miles, I'll keep buying them! My driving is mostly highway with some trails. I also use the Tracker as my hunting vehicle at the deer lease which is pretty much being on the trail also. ;D

Thanks for the update. They have awesome prices on all their tires and I'm glad to here they treated you good. I'm thinking about getting a set from them or some treadwrights. Depends on if I can find a cheap 16" rim.

I have a set of Nexen Roadian MT's in 31x10.50 on my 93 4 Door Sidekick. I bought them cause they were in my price range but they perform really well offroad. They clean out in sticky stuff if you just spin them a little and they have flexible sidewalls so you can air them down nicely for the snow and soft stuff.
