Nexen N5000 Platinum
The Bottom Line
The Nexen N5000 Platinum is best for drivers prioritizing treadlife and dry performance, with its 70,000-mile warranty and high dry grip score. However, its wet grip is lacking, which could be a dealbreaker for those in rainy climates.
Important Note
Wet grip performance is subpar, making it less suitable for regions with frequent rain.
Pros
- Outstanding treadlife with a UTQG of 700 and a 70,000-mile warranty, which is above average for performance all-season tires.
- Dry grip and handling scores of 9 make it a strong performer in dry conditions, ideal for spirited driving.
- Offers a balanced noise level at 6.5, which is decent for a performance all-season tire.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5 is below expectations for a performance all-season, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
- Comfort score of 6 suggests a firmer ride compared to some competitors like the Hankook Kinergy 4S2X H750.
- Lacks the 3PMSF rating, which limits its capability in light snow compared to some rivals.
