I have never heard anything about Nexens. Though, I have seen them around.

i have the conti's on my stock 166's and love them . but they are pretty pricey. if i had to switch i'd give the pilots a try since they are a little bit more. Overall the other tires you put up there are not comparable to the sportcontact2's and pilot's. Pirelli p-zero's are amazing tires too by the way!

I recently googled and found a nice writeup on the Hankook's. They rated them second below Michelen's (don't remember the exact tire).

I'm running those tires now and like them.

Besides, I like having something on my car that says V12.
