I disagree with this.

Nexen is actually a fairly reputable brand established more than 30 years ago.
I am actually on 3rd set of Nexen N3000 and I can tell you it's a great tire.
And I live by far worse weather conditions than OP live in.
My winter temp goes as low as low 20s and as high as 115+ during the summer.

I don't see how could a tire or in this case tires to be problems after 15k miles of trouble free miles.
Tires are usually defect from the beginning or within first 1000 miles.
There are always degradation gradually but not like this all of sudden.
And tire pressure won't give you that much dramatic difference like skidding across lane.

I smell a possible suspension failure/worn out. By the way OP is describing the situation, it has to be
other than tires.

Researching away on tires at the moment... i am looking at Falken 452 & Toyo T1R

by the way when i press down on my front right shock or suspension it seems to squeak and it's fairly soft the left side has same tension with no squeak the rear are stiff i cant hardly press them down

I think it's the suspension mate. You should take it in to a dealer or indy shop to check it out.
Again, I'm just trying to say the way you describe it, it can't be tires alone.

look at this... Rear tire is bald from the inside



i placed a order for Falken, i will goto dealer this week i feel suspension is soft i feel all the bumps and cracks on the road

I highly doubt that. It doesnt matter that nexen has been around 30+ years. I can name tons of companies that have been around longer and yet they still somehow produce sub par quality products.

I would guess it would be the tires since he likes to drive a bit aggressive. Thats where I would start after checking all the suspension parts.

Nexen is an OK street tire, nothing special and certainly not a huge performer if youve ever had high performance tires like Pzero Nero, S-03, Invo, PS2 Pzero Rosso

You should also check the alignment. By the looking at the picture, you have very excessive negative camber.

Phantom Mark

That indeed does not look like its in good shape.......that looks like one of the rear tyres which came off my old E46 with KW, the rear camber was way off on that car afterwards and made my tyres look just like that, the car was excessively low however which caused the geometry to go way out.

PraiseTheLowered

yeah check camber to make sure

bmw oem spec is -2 degrees

if you run more than that you will need a really good street tire that holds up
