From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Nexen CP672 is widely regarded as a budget-friendly tire that excels in longevity and ride comfort, making it a popular choice for daily commuters. While it offers impressive tread life and low noise levels, user consensus is polarized regarding its performance in adverse weather, with several reports of compromised traction in wet conditions.
Pros
- Exceptional tread longevity and mileage
- High level of ride comfort and smoothness
- Low road noise
- Strong value proposition for the price point
Cons
- Poor wet weather traction and handling
- Tendency to lose grip under hard acceleration
- Inconsistent steering feedback at low speeds
Observations
- Users on SUVs like the SsangYong Korando reported high satisfaction with durability and wet-weather performance.
- Drivers of higher-performance vehicles, such as the BMW 5-series and Hyundai Genesis, noted issues with traction loss during aggressive acceleration.
The Yokohama Advan dB V552 is widely regarded as a specialized touring tire that prioritizes cabin quietness and ride comfort above all else. While it excels at absorbing road imperfections and reducing noise for daily commuting, users note that its soft sidewall construction results in a lack of steering precision and reduced grip during high-speed maneuvers.
Pros
- Exceptional noise reduction and quiet operation
- Superior ride comfort and vibration absorption
- Effective at smoothing out potholes and road irregularities
Cons
- Soft sidewalls lead to a 'floating' sensation at highway speeds
- Lack of steering sharpness and cornering confidence
- Mediocre grip levels in both wet and dry conditions compared to performance-oriented tires
Observations
- The tire is specifically engineered as an OE fitment for vehicles like the Mazda3 BP, where its soft sidewall is intended to complement stiffer suspension bushings.
- Users report that increasing tire pressure by 3-4 PSI can mitigate the 'floating' sensation experienced at higher speeds.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
