Where Nexen sits

Strong all-round performance for meaningfully less than the flagship names. The value sweet spot for most daily drivers.

Strengths

  • +Close to premium braking performance for meaningfully less money
  • +Good tread life for the price
  • +Broad size coverage across cars, crossovers and light trucks

Watch-outs

  • −Not quite premium at the limit in heavy rain or deep slush
  • −Fewer size options in rare fitments

Should you buy Nexen in Ontario?

The default recommendation for most Ontario drivers — close to premium wet braking with a noticeably lower out-the-door price.
