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.

Reviewers largely view the Nexen Roadian HP as an excellent-value tire, praising its dry and wet handling, quiet and smooth ride, and durable tread life compared with pricier OEM brands. Road noise and harshness are the main recurring complaints, and winter performance gets mixed reports, with one early durability and vibration issue standing out as a clear negative.
Pros
- Strong value: many reviewers compare it favorably with pricier OEM or name-brand tires (Bridgestone, Goodyear Eagle ST), often at about half the cost.
- Confident dry and wet handling, with several reporting good grip and straight tracking.
- Quiet, smooth ride cited by many owners, including on a Jeep Grand Cherokee, a Mercedes GL550 and a Grand Prix on 22-inch wheels.
- Good tread life: reports include minimal wear at 20k miles, no visible wear after a year on a Tahoe, and over 50k miles on a heavy truck.
- Acceptable all-season and light snow traction for many users, though it is not a dedicated winter tire.
Cons
- Road noise: some reviewers report a constant hum that changes with speed, or noise at high speeds. One called it horrible at 15k miles.
- Ride harshness on bumps and potholes, reported on a BMW X5.
- Mixed winter performance: some report good snow traction, while one New York driver found it weak in a foot of snow.
- Average treadwear for some, with one reviewer calling wear just average, and one reviewer recommending a four-wheel alignment after installation.
- One reviewer reported vibration and bouncing that required replacements.
Worth knowing
- Trucks and SUVs, including a Tahoe, Tacoma and a roughly 6,000 lb truck, reported durable tread life and good all-weather traction. Mercedes ML/GL and BMW X5 owners mostly liked the value, though the X5 owner noted a firm ride.
- Large-diameter fitments (22-inch and 24-inch, plus 20-inch on the X5) were generally described as quiet and trouble-free, and one 22-inch truck owner felt no difference from tires costing double.
- Alignment affects wear: the 50k-mile truck owner replaced tires early only because of misalignment, which wore the front outer edges faster.
