Expert Verdict
The Nexen Aria AH7 is best for drivers seeking a long-lasting, comfortable touring tire with a solid 80,000-mile warranty. However, its lower UTQG treadwear rating compared to category norms could mean a softer compound and potentially faster wear than expected.
Pros
Treadlife score of 9.5 with an 80,000-mile warranty, which is substantial for a touring all-season tire.
Comfort and noise scores of 8 ensure a smooth and quiet ride, aligning well with the touring category's focus.
Dry grip and handling both score 8.5, providing reliable performance in everyday driving conditions.
Cons
The UTQG treadwear rating of 800 is low for the category, suggesting the tire may not last as long as some competitors despite the high mileage warranty.
UTQG treadwear rating of 800 is significantly below the category average of 1658, which may indicate a softer compound than some competitors.
Wet grip score of 7.5 is adequate but not outstanding, which could be a concern in heavy rain compared to some rivals.
The Westlake RP18 offers similar performance at a potentially lower price point, making it a more budget-friendly alternative.
