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 Nexen N Blue HD is generally perceived as a budget-friendly tire that offers impressive performance when new, particularly in wet and dry conditions. However, user consensus indicates a significant decline in both grip and noise levels as the tread wears, leading to mixed long-term satisfaction.
Pros
- Strong initial grip in both wet and dry road conditions
- High value-for-money proposition for budget-conscious buyers
- Smooth and quiet ride quality during the initial break-in period
- Reliable performance for daily commuting and highway driving when new
Cons
- Significant increase in road noise as the tire wears
- Noticeable degradation in traction and grip after 10,000–20,000 kilometers
- Inconsistent tread life, with some users reporting premature wear on front axles
- Reports of sidewall bubbling or structural issues in some instances
Observations
- Users noted that the tire performs best on smaller vehicle platforms, with some suggesting it is better suited for sizes below 15 inches.
- Front-wheel drive vehicles reported improved traction in varied weather conditions compared to stock tires, though long-term durability remains a concern.

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.
