to each their own. i enjoyed the michelins but even with the warranty, it was quite costly.
How many miles are you able to get out of the nexens?

from what i can recall... i ran through a set of the michelins in under 8k... i think another time it was 5k...

the nexens i have right now have about 7k miles on them and 36 runs down the strip with a short burn out before each run... i don't know how much it has left but i'm thinking i can go another 3k or so...

i daily drive mine. mostly city/highway miles.

the sizes i run are
245/40zr18xl
275/35zr18.
stock height, stock suspension
