Nexen N5000 tires

Anyone here run these?
I just finished a set of N3000 which lasted 20K miles which is good for me.
They rode well and were reasonably quiet.
The N5000's boast a 60K mile warranty
and they are hella cheap, like 400 out the door at Wally Mart.
Got good ratings too.

Anyone running them?

I prefer Continental Extreme Contact DWS, just put them on a couple of weeks ago. Big change from the mismatched Kumho tires that were on the car when I purchased it. How is the traction on the Nexens?

I heard Nexens were good, my friend preached about them. I probably would have went for them if the Kumho's i bought weren't so cheap

my friends use to run through nexen like crazy and complained about wear. I say shell out a little more and get some good tires that'll last longer. A lot of company's are doing discounts right now if you buy a set of 4. I think Continental, Michelin, Hankook, are all doing sales. if you want bang for buck look at the Hankook evo v12.

Also my friend is running some Milestar MS932 right now and has no complaints, they are a sister company of Nexen I think. He got a set for his 18s for 300 and they have good UTQG of 540AA.

I bought n7000 a while back for my sisters w208. They are not bad at all. Quiet, decent traction in all situation, and comfortable ride. 225/45/17 all around.
