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.
By owner reviews
53/100From 48 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Nexen CP641 is a polarizing budget-friendly tire that receives mixed reviews for its performance across various conditions. While many users praise its affordable price point, impressive tread longevity, and comfortable ride quality, a significant number of drivers report severe shortcomings in wet weather traction and intermittent issues with excessive road noise.
Pros
- Affordable, budget-friendly pricing
- Impressive tread life and durability
- Comfortable ride quality with low noise for many users
- Decent dry grip and predictable handling in dry conditions
Cons
- Poor wet weather grip and frequent slipping/aquaplaning
- Excessive road noise or roaring reported by several users
- Lackluster steering feedback and vague cornering confidence
- Poor performance and lack of traction in snow and winter conditions
Worth knowing
- Users driving smaller or older vehicles (such as a Mazda Miata or Pontiac Fiero) appreciated the predictable dry handling and availability of niche sizes, though sports car drivers noted a lack of grip at the limit.
- Drivers of heavier family hatchbacks and compacts (like the Peugeot 307 and Ford Focus) generally experienced good longevity around 20,000 to 25,000 miles on the front axle, though some noted a trade-off in wet confidence.
