- Nexen N5000 Plus and RU5 tire review after 1 year and 32,000+ miles. Full acceleration on dry pavement with a 5.0ltr Mustang and driving in snowy and icy conditons. I forgot to mention in the video, the reason it's better to have 103 or 106 load rating tires is they are less affected by punctures and damage by potholes while resisting cuts and tears. It does give a stiffer ride, and can have a little negative response to uneven surface with lighter weights, but if you push your car to the limits, you're less likely to have a tire failure with a tire designed to hold up to a heavier vehicle under the same conditions.

I ride the Nexen N5000 plus all around, nothing but great experiences with my now 3rd set and I ride on the Roadian on my wife's suv. These tires ROCK
NEXEN TYRES ARE AMAZING AWESOME SUPERB TYRES AND I USE THEM TO MY OPEL CORSA B 1996 MODEL IN ATHENS GREECE.I HAD NEXEN N BLUE HD PLUS.❤
Thanks for helping out with such a nice video . Now I will choose closest to the best.
I'm not sponsored by, nor do I have any affiliation, but I have to give credit where credit is due. This is the second set we've had and tested in all conditions including snow, and they just work. They really grip well. And with such a wide tire, normally snow is a bad thing, but not for these tires. And temps usually effect tires, but these seem to not be effected. I just love them and won't buy anything else.
I hope you found a good set of tires. We have another 10,000 miles on the tires and I haven't found anything better. Of course slicks or drag radials are best on dry, but in all reality, we haven't had the need for drag radials, and we've dragged on no prep, prepped, concrete and pavement and never had anything less than full trust that when we mail the throttle, they won't slip at all. And if we need to slam on the brakes in any weather, we can trust we can stop. The best combination for the price, Nexens RU5's with EBC brake pads and rotors. We use slotted and the Yellow pads, but we needed the drilled and slotted for the yellow stuff.
Nexen 5000 Platinum -215/55R17 94V are a huge improvement over the original 5000 tire.....about $100.00 a piece. Awesome tires.
I'll have to check them out. Thanks!
Hi there, could you please help me choose one of these Nexen tires that provides more comfort for a Crossover with 255/45/R20 tire size?
1. NFERA SUPREME (looks as the same as N5000 Platinum)
2. NFERA RU1
3. NFERA RU5
These are the ones that are available in my country/region, and I wanna pick the most comfortable one among those due to bumpy and rough roads here.
I can now say I agree. The Platinums are superior to the original N5000 Plus. But my favorites are still the SU1 or RU5
Awesome Video 👏 👌
THANK YOU 👊
I am looking into buying a set of Nexen
So your video helps a lot 💯 %
PEACE ✌️ 💪
So, unfortunately a drunk driver tested our Mustang to it's max. I can tell you with 100%, Nexens plus EBC brakes saved our lives, very literally. I will NEVER run any but again for daily. Period! I owe them for both mine and our son's life. It could have been so much worse
Thanks 👍
Glad to hear everything is OK
Stay well 👌✌️
Ran out of space LOL Looking at getting some for my suv. (NEXEN TIRE ROADIAN HTX RH5) Felt like I was in the car with you!
yeah, only a a 64gb internal card. I do a lot of pics and videos for our company.
And we have added more miles with still the same tread. And we've had more rain than normal lately and they just work under all conditions. Our son even put them on his Corvette and we went non prep drag racing and both of us had zero slipping or issues.
I have these on my wife's '14 MDX and Iove the way they handle the road and the way my tire dressing brings them to life after a maintenance detail!!!!
I have the Nexen n'fera su1 tires and they're the best overall tires I've ever had. Don't know if they still make them though.
I've just got some off ebay
Yes, they still do. A d now they have some even better, but still have SU1 and RU5. The N5000 Plus now is a Platinum upgraded and is better
They do
Thanks bro
I like the fact you use your directionals people that don't I consider poor drivers. And I put a set of the n5000 plus on my wife's Taurus very happy with them and not crazy money
Sadly they used to be a lot better they have gone down hill in the last few years
@@reznor6507 not here. We've used them recently for two vehicles, one SUV and one truck, couldn't be happier.
@@johng6673 their still decent just saying they used to be better quality
@@reznor6507 there is a new, N5000 Plus Platinum. They are dramatically improved. The best part of Nexen, they listen to their customers and make improvements. How many big names do this for this price point? EBC is the same when it comes to brakes
So what part of New Mexico do you live it what city.. Any little issues you have with them anything
At the time, that was the NE Heights in Albuquerque. Now I'm down south. As for the tires, not a single bit of issues. I cannot say enough about them. We've been in snow, ice, rain, dirty, cold and extreme heat of AZ racing at 117f out. We've done a 120mph burnout and the tires never even feathered. They still look exactly the same, another 10,000 miles from the video and the burnout later. We've wore out a set of EBC racing brakes before the tires. And we can still hit a full send on a dirty road and not even think twice if they will slip. 555 R2's don't come close to the all around performance. And the 555 R2's don't have the load rating. 106y for the Rears and 103y for the front. Nitto's are usually 98w to 101y max in our size. The extra load of the 106 and 103 means longer life and more resistance to pot holes and punctures. But I love how we got stuck during Christmas 2 years ago when we got hammered with snow and we were traveling, 16f out, 75mph winds north of T or C and we out performed 60% of the vehicles on the road. And we were in deep enough snow the chin spoiler was plowing the snow. I was able to actually drive decent speeds, faster than others with zero worry about slipping or not being able to stop. Now, Ford Advance Trac played a big roll, but it wouldn't have been possible without good tires. And if you know Eubank and Juan Tabo's bridges getting stuck at the light, you know how hard it is to get rolling, and we had a car stop right up against the back so I had no room to roll of needed and I took off as if it was dry. But it was packed snow, and deep. We even took it up to the Crest in that mess. The tune loved the cold temps. I have photos to prove it. You can check out most of it at our Facebook page, Southern New Mexico Mustang Club.
I will be back up home in Albuquerque hopefully by this weekend if work clears up and I finish. Yet another 2,000 miles on the tires. But we're hoping to head through AZ before getting back to Albuquerque if all goes well. What part of NM are you in?
NEXEN 215/55R 17 7000 miles. Buzz and Vibrate and ride rough. Had them re-balanced and washed. Worse still if you are on a grooved highway the tires will climb the sides of the groove.
This is especially bad on a wet road, it can cause you to lose control or hydroplane or both.
I mean you're running on some pretty low pro tires with 215. Try going 225/50 or 225/45
215 is the width. Both of the options you provided have less sidewall. Aspect ratio relative to the width is the focus here
@@level__level 55 is not low profile really
225/45/17 be a better size tyre
So, if you get the cheap Nexens, they are made in China and I've heard many people have issues with them. The Korean made don't have that problem, and I've now had 5 different types and sizes, keeping in mind to avoid the Chinese ones, we haven't had a single issue with any. Nothing but great experiences, and in all weather plus all types of vehicles. And the roads here are probably some of the worst roads in the country, definitely top 5 or top 4 for absolute worst roads. Everybody wrecks with any tiny bit of weather because the roads are so bouncy bad tires easily loose traction. But Nexens have put performed Squishilins, Badyears or BFGW.
Will you recommend Kumho Ecsta PS31 or Nexen N5000 for mercedes benz C250 RWD ? Kumho does not show any warranty, prices are same, i want good life and wet / rain performance in regular driving
So, Mercedes always recommend Michelin. Mercedes are very dependent on their tires performance. So the best option is Michelin. Now, I absolutely Love Nexen over Kumho. But, I would try and go with N Priz AH8, N Fera AU7, RU5 or SU1 if possible. Now I didn't have any issues with our N5000 Plus, I just feel the others have performed in all weather a little better for acceleration traction. But the most important part is to make sure to go with the highest rating possible. There is a load rating and a speed rating. Make sure to keep the number as high as possible, 105 I believe is the highest in that size passenger, but I wouldn't go any lower than 94 with any brand. The speed rating is in letters, the higher the letter the higher the speed. Y is basically the highest street rating for the most part and no need to go any higher. W is fine and beyond anything legal for any highway speeds. The importance of these ratings, Mercedes are very dependent on the tires as part of the suspension and traction control. With this, tires rated lower will be easier to cause rim damage, puncture or flex. They will be less likely to pick up screws and nails with a stronger tire. Downfall, a harder tire rides stiffer than a soft tire. The higher speed rating isn't important for going over 189mph, but two parts. The higher the rating, the better it will perform in weather at higher speeds, but more importantly it will hold up better at higher speeds for wear and have less resistance meaning better gas mileage. Now, always pay attention to the basic standard ratings on the side. Treadwear, the higher the number the longer the life. Michelin have horrible life. Traction is usual A, B, or C. NEVER buy a "c" rated tire. Horrible in rain. a "B" rated are fine in most cases. Just know in severe flooding performance is reduced greater than with a A or AA rated tire.
If it was my vehicle, I would go with N Fera SU1 97W depending on your rim size. That would be my first choice. The AU7 does come in higher ratings. so I might lean towards them slightly. But, if you are less for performance, and want a decent, smooth ride with a decent tire, the N5000 Plus is more of a comfort, highway tire for traveling. And they do last very well and are great on the highway. But while snow I didn't notice anything different, I did notice the SU1, or RU5 was superior to the N5000 Plus, but only when racing. They did perfectly fine racing in speeds above 115mph at Wilcox Raceway.
As for Kumho Ecsta PS31, they are a performance tire, widely used with Fords Mustangs. Mostly with the Ecoboost though. The ratings are less and they are a Summer Tire, not a All Weather, so keep that in mind, they don't have the sipes for ice and or snow. Now, while the RU5 or SU1 don't either, I can say, and have video to prove they performed better than my OEM All Seasons. But Kumho's website reviews even state it is a summer tire and not designed for icy conditions. I also know Kumho is a softer rubber which is effected by cold temps more than Nexen. But I also can say, Michelin are actually horrible in cold temps with their super soft compound. Another option I wouldn't argue with, but didn't find them as good as the Nexens but I did really like was the BF Goodrich Comp 2 TA. My son had me try them since he liked them on his Corvette. The were nice, but I wasn't able to really test them due to a drunk driver. Oh well, hopefully I'll get another chance to try again.
Hope this helps. I know it's long, but it's a lot of information
@@johng6673 Thanks , i am in south and mostly warm weather with rain/wet conditions . i am a city driver . thanks for the detailed explanation .
@@manuvns I guess price match, see which gives you the highest ratings, longest treadwear for the best price that fits your budget. Keep in mind those numbers
@@johng6673wow, such a great comment!

Quick question. Can I upgrade from 235/45/17 to 245/45/17? Would interfere with ABS and speedometer?
I doubt it would affect the ABS if done on all 4 corners. Speed variation is what ABS looks for, but also usually a dramatic change. It does learn constant change.
As for will they fit? I couldn't answer accurately without knowing which vehicle. But I can tell you that small of a change probably wouldn't change anything. It's slightly taller. In most cases it will effect tire rub while max turning and the tire can rub the splash guard. But no harm comes from this and usually it self clears after a few times. Yes, your speedometer will slightly be off, maybe half a mile an hour slow to maybe one full. Basically just keep it 1mph under the normal speed limit and you should be okay. Its not enough to worry about. If you went 255/45 then I would say you need to verify a little more. Also if available and needed, you can check on going wider as well, 255/35/17 should be close to the same as original or 245/40/17.
So they're terrible in wet conditions, but awesome in dry ? but o.k. in snow ? You should get winter tires in winter bro. the Nexen Winguard Sport 2's were good on my Stinger GT up here in Canada
I was able to race at over 120mph in standing water with heavy rain and never had any issues. As for winter, of course winter tires are better, but for many of us, snow is rare so having a tire that doesn't have to be specific to snow helps.
Not sure what you're saying with that first sentence. They are phenomenal in all conditions. Daily, daily dry, daily wet, daily snow. And even daily ice. Not to mention, phenomenal for racing in all conditions. So I'm not sure what you're saying. And of course Winter tires are better for snow, but they have issues with regular driving. So the best option is what's best for your environment, but regardless Nexen usually has you covered. And no, I don't work or associate with Nexens, I'm just a fan

So, I would go to their website and see how they have them rated and match it with what is best for your scenario. I can say, I've used the N5000 Plus on our Mustang for all occasions and they worked great for front tires. My brother-in-law just got the N5000 Platinums for his Acura MDX and he really likes them. As for hard driving, high speeds, and all weather, my personal favorite is the SU1 or RU5's. I've used both and they were great for racing, but also in snow, rain and even heavy rain racing at over 120mph and I didn't think twice about any issues. I can also say, I've only gotten a nail in the N5000's, which was actually only once and on the front. What this means is, they are very well made and use great materials so they puncture less than others. My son is using Rodian HTX and absolutely loves them. Snow, rain and everything in between. I don't think you could go wrong with any choice, just use their website to match your needs with what they recommend for the vehicle. If you find yourself wanting something specific, you can play with sizes a little as long as you keep the diameter and the width fits the vehicle. For example, a 285/40/20 is the same diameter, a 275/40/20 is close enough in most cases, you can use a tire diameter calculator to find a different size. Try tiresize.com if you would like. But only if you're trying to meet a certain criteria. Otherwise what the door sticker says is usually what's best. For a SUV that you daily, don't really drive on snow, the Rodian GTX is a great recommendation. If you drive in snow, the N5000 will be better, and of course, if you can, I personally love RU5 or SU1. I just can't say anything good enough to explain what I put them through, but also how they helped save my life from a drunk kid and I never lost control at very high speeds.
@@johng6673 thanks man, you helped a lot. I appreciate.
If you smell the breaks get some quality break pads. Will stop break fade and smell. If breaks smell you get break fade
They are quality, EBC Racing. But any brakes that get hot enough will smell. And we don't have any issues with brake fade, we use a high temp brake fluid as well. And I've done 170mph down to 20mph at full brakes, getting the rotors extremely hot, enough to turn them blue, and yet they still perform perfectly. Anyone that races know.
@@johng6673 try falken azenis fk510. High load rated
Albuquerque New Mexico!
Yep, NE Heights as you can see.
Thanks for the tour of the hood. oops i can smell the brakes lol
Still the same brakes. Gotta love EBC. After all the racing, nothing has beet them for OEM replacement.
They went down hill a few years ago they used to be so much better . I used to ride nothing but these but had to switch to Bridgestonestone Potenzas after Nexen went downhill
We're Nexen sold to a new owner?

Change my Dunlop 205/60/16 for my lancer,i hope i made the right decision, so help me God🙏
do u replaced dunlop with nexen? and r u satisfied now?
Nice car but the bike dusted you lol 😆
Not arguing. But he was rolling about 55mph before I hit the throttle, and our Mustang desperately needed a better rear gear. I could run to 200mph with ease and steam left over, but taking off sucked. Although it was built for road course racing which 3rd gear was perfect where I needed it, so I didn't change it for that reason. But it still ran 11.8s in the quarter at 127mph.
32,000 miles on one year??
We drive ours. As they are designed for. She has actually had another 5,000 or more since this video. We've been to OKC 3 or 4 times, Texas a few times, several trips to AZ and just about every corner in NM. These have been the best tires ever in all conditions.
Automatic?????? Cmon
Say what you want, but while the only reasons we went Automatic were 2, and they were so far down we went shopping for 2 days and this was a perfect vehicle, exactly what we wanted 99% except the transmission, but they gave us a deal we couldn't refuse. Then second, both my wife and I have disabilities which the 6R80 makes more sense. Now, trash talk all you want, but the 6R80 is actually far better than I ever expected, and manual shift works perfect for road racing, and even when we drag manuals I use manual shift to keep shifts equal except for the clutch which is a big advantage in many ways. The only thing I will say, I don't like the 3:15 rear gears. And our 2012 was a MT82, so I can compare, and know the actual difference from driveability and performance both on the street and on strip and road course tracks.
John G much respect ... I get it ..... great video . I just got today nexen 5000 plus on my mustang 2018 as well . Loving them so far .
@@walterestrada9523 the RU5's for the rear are a better option for all around. And you should be able to go quite a bit wider, even on the stock rims.
Ru5 sucks
Get SU4s
These tires are trash
Each have their preference. I've tried Nitto, BF Goodrich, Goodyear, Toyo, Nexens and others. The worst was Parelli. Screw those tires. Nexens have been my favorite all around, all weather, and even racing tire that I can daily and track them. But like I said, everyone has their preference. And you have to make sure the Nexens are made in Korea and have the higher ratings, 101-106 Y.
