From owners

Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Nexen CP672

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.
Tire B Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32

The Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 is widely regarded as a high-value, comfort-oriented tire that excels in daily driving scenarios. While most users praise its quiet operation, smooth ride quality, and reliable dry-weather grip, consensus on wet-weather performance and tread longevity is mixed, with some users reporting significant performance degradation as the tire wears.

Pros

  • Exceptional ride comfort and noise reduction
  • Strong value proposition compared to premium brands
  • Reliable dry-weather traction and handling
  • Noticeable improvement in fuel efficiency for many users

Cons

  • Wet-weather grip can become unpredictable as tread depth decreases
  • Inconsistent tread life, with some users reporting premature wear
  • Sidewalls may be susceptible to damage from severe potholes
  • Not intended for high-performance or aggressive driving

Observations

  • Users of compact hatchbacks and city cars (e.g., Honda Jazz, Fiat 500) report high satisfaction with comfort and noise levels.
  • Drivers of heavier vehicles or those with high-torque engines occasionally report faster-than-expected front-tire wear.
  • Some users noted that the tire requires a 'break-in' period of several hundred miles before reaching optimal performance.

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.
