Does anyone have any good or bad experience with Nexen N3000s? I need a set of 235/35/19s and am thinking about purchasing these versus going back with Nitto 555s. I can purchase a set of Nexen N3000s for $620 or Nitto 555s for $1000.
What do you guys think? Any opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
They're decent tires. Good grip, but they don't have a high tread life (280) and don't take kindly to cold weather, or anything to do with snow.
I have a set. Got them used, without much issue as far as road noise or anything. Great grip. Go for it.

Nexen's sidewalls are too thick in 235/35/19's for our G's, Emerson_88 had purchased those tires in that size and he rubbed pretty bad on the strut assembly. Go for 225/35/19's if your choosing Nexen's...Quote:

when i had 19's the stock struts were literally leaning on the tires. i say go with a smaller size like Ivory said
Yeah if you have coilovers, that would be the only way to use that brand & tire size with our G's.
Just be cautious when its raining Ive hydroplaned a few times already dry grip is pretty decent
I wouldn't buy them.
Would I have any problems running 225/35/19s? Would they fit properly on a rim thats meant to have 235/35/19s?
Also, where do the 235s rub?
Rubbing also depends on the specs of ur wheels too. Mine are +32 if it were a little higher I would be ok.
I don't like the idea of a stretched sidewall. What's the width of the rims? And yes, the offset makes a big difference as well.

Thanks!
Do the 235/35/19 Nexen rub on the front or rear of vehicle?
Thanks!
Its gonna depend on the wheels. You may be able to modify were it rubs, that's if it does.
With the specs of my wheels and the toyo's (235/35-19) I had to roll the rear fenders and take out the front fender lining to stop the rubbing. With the nexen 235/35-19) the rear is still fine, but in the front I get rubbing on the inside sometimes when I turn the wheels full-lock. I also get rubbing now on the front outside of the tire if a take a curve to fast, but this is getting that corrected by rolling the front fenders.Quote:
