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

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 21 owner reviews found online.
The Nexen Roadian H/T receives a polarized mix of reviews, praised as an affordable and long-lasting budget option that delivers smooth rides and reliable dry/wet traction, but heavily criticized by others for severe, persistent road noise. While some drivers report excellent longevity and towing capability, a notable faction experienced annoying humming sounds that were frequently mistaken for failing wheel bearings.
Pros
- Excellent value and affordable pricing compared to premium brands
- Long-lasting treadwear with high mileage potential
- Smooth and comfortable ride quality
- Good dry and wet traction
Cons
- Excessive road noise, humming, and roaring often mistaken for bearing failure
- Prone to picking up gravel and stones in the tread blocks
- Poor winter and snow performance reported by some users
- Stiff sidewalls that can cause mounting difficulties and mild steering wander
Worth knowing
- Users driving heavier vehicles like older vans (e.g., '73 Econoline, camper vans) and 4x4 pickups appreciated the stiff sidewalls and load handling.
- SUV and heavy vehicle owners (such as a Mercedes ML500 and Land Rovers) reported prominent noise issues and, in one instance, a sidewall puncture off-road.
