This is my second set of these tires, and I’ve been nothing but pleased. My first set, made in Korea, lasted 40k kilometers on my van and they were fantastic. This new set is made in China, which had me a bit worried, but honestly, theyve been holding up just as well. I’ve loaded my van to the max and these tires don’t complain-they just keep rolling. Cant say much bad about them, except maybe that its a bit of a bummer they’re not made in Korea anymore. But hey, they work, so I’m not complaining!

So, I’ve had these Nexen Roadian CT8s on my van for a while now, and let me tell you—theyve seen some things. I once got distracted for just a second on a turn and ended up smacking the side of a billboard, not to mention running over a good-sized rock. The rock punched right through my alloy wheel, but the tire?
 
Not even a bump. I’m still amazed, to be honest. Usually, one little pothole and you’re stuck with a bulge. But these? 

They just keep going. They’ve been rock solid on the highway, too—no wobbles, no weird wear patterns. 

Definitely worth the investment!
