What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Nexen Arrowspeed CP661 is widely regarded as a high-value budget tire that delivers reliable performance for daily commuting and light-duty vehicles.

Pros

Excellent value for money compared to premium brands
High tread longevity and durability on light vehicles
Predictable handling in both wet and dry conditions
Low road noise levels

Cons

Reports of premature sidewall cracking or splitting
