Nexen is known for making some very good tires that cost less than many other brands, and the N3000 summer high performance model continues in that line. Designed to provide higher speed stability, braking and cornering performance, the N3000 is built for drivers of sports cars, coupes, and sedans.
A high performance summer tread compound is matched up to a directional tread pattern for maximum dry and wet traction. The unique arrow shaped continuous center rib provides added stability and steering response on dry pavement, while also increasing braking capabilities. It holds the corners well with its unique rigid shoulder block design that delivers added stability.
The directional v-shaped tread pattern also enhances wet road traction and handling, something mentioned often in other driver ratings and reviews. The aqua grooves channel away water from under the tread and reduces hydroplane risks.
Inside the tire you will find two steel belts that are nylon reinforced for added strength and durability throughout the speed range. A polyester cord body gives the tire increased ride comfort and more even treadwear. Nexen utilizes 5 random pitch variation that reduces tread pattern noise for additional ride quality.

DRY TRACTION – Very nice, they grip really well to the road…very solid.
WET TRACTION – No complaints as I have never encountered any instances of hydroplating or slipping when riding on this tires.
NOISE – Minimal road noise, however that will change as the tire starts to wear down more and more. I didn’t really start noticing until about 20K miles later.
HANDLING – Solid handling, can handle aggressive driving. The ride is nice and smooth, feels like the tires are on the softer side.
TREADWEAR – At 20K miles, still had more than 50% treadlife.
CONCLUSION – Was very happy with the tires, I would definitely recommend to someone looking for performance on a budget as they are very affordable for the quality given.
