Nexen CP671

The Nexen CP671 is a solid choice for drivers who value dry grip and wet traction in a touring all-season tire. Its dry grip score of 8.5 and wet grip of 7.5 both exceed category averages, making it a reliable option for varied weather conditions. However, the tire's 50,000-mile treadwear warranty and UTQG rating of 500 are noticeably lower than the segment benchmarks, suggesting a potential trade-off in longevity. In the touring all-season category, treadlife, comfort, and noise are key priorities. The CP671 holds its own in comfort and noise with scores of 8, matching category averages, but it falls short on treadlife. This could be a concern for drivers covering high annual mileage. The H speed rating indicates that the tire is suitable for highway speeds, adding to its versatility for everyday driving. When compared to competitors like the Continental ProContact TX, which offers a longer treadwear warranty, the CP671 may not be the best choice for those seeking maximum longevity. However, for drivers prioritizing dry and wet performance over tread life, it remains a strong contender. If long-term durability and cost per mile are your top concerns, consider the Continental ProContact TX for its more generous treadwear warranty. Otherwise, the CP671 is a competent performer in dry and wet conditions at a competitive price point.
