The Nexen SB802 is a budget-friendly touring all-season tire that prioritizes comfort and noise, matching the category benchmarks in these areas. Its dry grip and handling scores are adequate for general use, making it a reasonable choice for drivers who value a smooth ride over performance in adverse conditions.
However, the tire's wet grip is notably below the category average, which may pose a challenge in wet weather. This is compounded by the absence of a treadwear warranty, unlike competitors such as the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, which offers more assurance on longevity. The lack of a 3PMSF rating also limits its capability in light snow, positioning it more as a fair-weather option.
For those comparing options, the SB802 might appeal to budget-conscious drivers who primarily drive in dry conditions and prioritize ride comfort. However, if wet weather performance and longevity are critical, alternatives like the Continental ProContact TX may offer better overall value.
