I bought a set of the n3000 for my car and they are great so far. Can't say anyhting about the MT, but far a car tire they are good.

Looks like a very similar tread pattern of the Hankook RT03 M/T. From the reviews I've read, the Nokian tires are pretty decent, but haven't seen anything specifically on these. The one thing I did notice is that there's no siping on the tread, which might make them less desirable on packed snow and ice. Since you live in Canada, finding a tire with the snow symbol or with decent siping seems pretty important.

I am looking at these as well. The down-loadable spec indicates they are snow rated.

wow that was a long time ago .....i ended up buying them for $650 at a capital tire ...they were, and still are, great tires...they are retired for the winter right now ...but as soon as spring and all that fresh mud comes...u bet ur ass they're goin back on ....they chew great, clean great, not noisy at all on the highway, and after almost a year of driving back and forth from prince george to vancouver they have almost no tread wear ...I cant express how impressed i am with these tires..especially for price .....here they are:

Why did you take them off in the winter? Are they no good in the snow?

theyre crap. my shop sells em, but we reccomend against them because they are made extremely cheap. better to get a cooper tire over a nexen.

have u personally had experience with the tires? idk what u mean, they've been holding up just as well as my buds BFGs....and guess whos has worn more over 1 summer of use...his...im sure you recommend against them just to get a more expensive sale ....they were fine in snow and slush...but real bad on ice

I dont know of any tire that is realy good on ice.

Any news on the Nexen brand? There is a place near me selling the MT Roadians 265/75/16 for $650 mounted and balanced, or the ATs same size for $500.
