Our take

The Nexen N Priz S is a suitable choice for drivers who value comfort and noise reduction in their daily commutes. It meets the category benchmarks for comfort and noise, ensuring a pleasant driving experience. However, its lack of a treadwear warranty and a UTQG treadwear rating of 560, which is slightly below the category average of 574, suggest a potentially shorter lifespan compared to its peers. In the grand touring all-season segment, comfort and noise are top priorities, and the N Priz S holds its ground with scores of 8 in both areas. Its wet grip rating of 7.5 slightly surpasses the category average, offering dependable performance in wet conditions. However, the R speed rating may be a limitation for those who require higher speed capabilities. When compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45 and BFGoodrich Advantage Control, the N Priz S lacks a treadwear warranty, which could be a significant factor for budget-conscious buyers. The General AltiMAX RT45 offers a mileage warranty, potentially providing better value over the tire's life. For those who drive at higher speeds, the BFGoodrich Advantage Control might be a better fit due to its higher speed rating. Overall, if you're looking for a comfortable and quiet ride for everyday use and can overlook the lack of a treadwear warranty, the N Priz S is a reasonable option. However, if longevity and high-speed performance are critical, consider alternatives like the General AltiMAX RT45 or BFGoodrich Advantage Control.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 align with category averages, making it a quiet and smooth ride for daily driving.
  • Wet grip rating of 7.5 slightly exceeds the category average of 7.4, providing reliable traction in rainy conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 is competitive within the segment, offering balanced performance for a grand touring tire.

Cons

  • Lack of a treadwear warranty and lower-than-average treadwear rating may lead to more frequent replacements, increasing long-term costs.
  • No treadwear warranty provided, which is a drawback compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45 that offer mileage guarantees.
  • UTQG treadwear rating of 560 falls short of the category average of 574, indicating potentially shorter lifespan.
  • Speed rating of R limits its high-speed capability compared to competitors with higher speed ratings, such as the BFGoodrich Advantage Control.
