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 Roadian GTX receives a polarized mix of reviews, praised by many for its budget-friendly price, quiet operation, and comfortable ride quality, while drawing heavy criticism from others regarding rapid tread wear and structural durability issues. While some users find them to be an exceptional value that matches premium brands in daily commuting, a significant subset report premature wear, soft sidewalls, and severe defects such as cracking or bubbling.
Pros
- Competitive, budget-friendly pricing and great overall value
- Quiet and comfortable highway ride quality
- Good dry and wet traction for daily driving
- Balances well and maintains a clean appearance on the vehicle
Cons
- Significantly faster-than-expected tread wear for a touring tire
- Soft sidewalls leading to vague steering feedback or heavy handling
- Reports of structural defects such as cracking, bubbling, and rubber chunking
- Underwhelming winter and snow performance
Worth knowing
- Some drivers of crossover SUVs like the Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, and VW Atlas noted that the soft sidewalls make the steering feel heavy or vague, altering vehicle handling dynamics.
- Users driving heavier vehicles or logging highway miles frequently reported accelerated tread wear, with some exhausting the tread well below the anticipated mileage warranty.
