Man, that's cheap!
Your link has a few extra characters at the end.
Simplify and add lightness.
Fixed it!
That's scary. I made the mistake of running a set of cheap Primewell tires on the Delorean. They were made in China and the tread actually separated from the tire while I was on interstate. Could have killed me.
Are you really willing to trust a $22 tire with your life?

I'm thinking that the N'priz AH5 is a discontinued model, that's why they're marked down at a lot places. I'm assuming they're made in South Korea just like Hankook and Kumho, so yes I'm willing to take a chance. I'll be happy if I can get two years out of them.
I would look at these as being $32.75/tire, because I can't get them to my home for $21.96/tire. Even with shipping added in, that is still a very good price. Many of our tires are made elsewhere, & several respectable tire brands come from Korea.
I appreciate everyone sharing his or her experience with tires, especially after s/he have accumulated 30,000 or more miles on them. I don't equate the quality of the tire by cost alone. The Dunlop Enasave tires are a prime example of that. You are buying an entire set of tires for about the price of one Enasave tire. I don't mind using up my Enasave tires, but I am not overly impressed by them. I haven't had a flat tire on the road in over 30 years, but I did have an Enasave sidewall blow out a month or so ago. Even if Dunlop Enasave tires were half price, my money would probably go elsewhere.
I will add that I have had several tires pick up nails/screws over the years that developed slow leaks. I've run tires with plugs in them for years without issue. Since the mid-1980's, the Dunlop Enasave is the only tire that totally failed on the road for me.
I see nothing wrong with trying the Nexen tires at all. I would have more faith in them than the factory Dunlop tires. The Nexen have a 50,000 mile warranty listed, which is not something you see with many cheaper tires. The expensive Dunlop Enasave tires don't even list a mileage warranty.
I also see where stevedmc is coming from. He's been very happy with Falken tires, which aren't really a lot more money when you include shipping. He's racked up some high miles on tires that can be found for under $50/tire. Thus, I take note of that, too.
It's really nice when people share their experiences on this forum. I look forward to your future opinion of the Nexen tires. Tires don't last forever. Thus, replacing them is something we all have to do.
I've done cheap no-name tires before—never again. The compound was so hard, I'm fairly certain they were made from recycled bowling balls.
Nexen, however, is a known entity. I think you probably found a smokin' deal.
Oh, and just so you know, they are an OE supplier to multiple brands including one extremely fast Mopar:

Have you installed these tires yet Angry Beaver? I'd love to hear your thoughts on them.
