hi all,
i know that this has been probably discussed already, but i simply cannot make a decision. I like how Nexen N3000 tires look, and the price is extremely affordable. Has anyone had experience with NEXEN tires?
my other choices could be
ECSTA ASX KU-21
Toyo PROXES 4
ZIEX ZE-912
Kumho ECSTA SPT KU31
General Exclaim UHP
in other words (less than $120 tire, from www.tires-easy.com)
its for 525i 2005, and for Florida weather.

The Nexen N3000 is a nice tire.
- Made in Korea.
- ZR Rated.
- Decent on road noise.
- Very nice tread design.
- Priced right.
- 340 treadwear rating.
- Also, when its mounted on a wheel, the tire has a very little part that comes past the edge of the wheel. Sort of like a rim protector, but not really. It just looks nice.
I would personally choose the Nexen compared to most of the other choices.
ZIEX ZE-912 - Look into the FK452. Its nicer compared to the ZE-912
Kumho ECSTA SPT KU31 - Caution road noise.
General Exclaim UHP - I personally think its one of the ugliest tread patterns period.

I had the Nexen 7000's on my previous wheels ( stock 18" 123's ) and they were ok I guess but I dont know how they would compare to the 3000's. I now have General Exclaim UHP on the new wheels and I must say that Im very happy I got these instead of the Nexens. Huge difference...

i had on my wheels and they were good. i liked it better than Nitto nt555. main plus for n3000 is price and handles great. i ran through nt555 in less than a 7 month ...and n3000 lasted me much longer.
nexen N3000 is same lexani n3000. and they are lower priced michelin tires. so i would recommand n3000 .
i wouldnt put general tires on bmw ...
