Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
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

The Nexen Roadian A/T Pro RA8 receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from users, who frequently praise its exceptional value, smooth highway ride, and low road noise for an all-terrain tire. While some drivers note limitations in extreme conditions like deep snow or mud, the consensus highlights its impressive dry and wet traction, aggressive looks, and overall affordability compared to premium competitors.
Pros
- Exceptional value and affordable price point
- Unusually quiet and smooth ride on the highway for an all-terrain tire
- Strong traction and handling in dry and wet road conditions
- Aggressive, attractive tread design that improves the look of trucks and SUVs
Cons
- Tread can pack with mud or deep snow, reducing traction in severe off-road or deep winter conditions
- Gravel tends to get stuck easily in the tread blocks, creating persistent noise on unpaved roads
- Some users reported limited longevity or hydroplaning once the tire wear reached higher mileage
Worth knowing
- Several full-size truck owners (such as Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, and Ram 1500) highlighted great longevity, with multiple users reporting upwards of 45,000 to 50,000+ miles of use.
- Drivers opting for heavier-duty or E-range sizes (like 10-ply variants) noted a firmer ride compared to standard passenger setups, but appreciated the added durability under loads.
