Out of those, Nexen is the only one I'd put on my car. The others are all made by TBC, which we used to joke meant "Tires By Communists" at my last dealership since they're mostly made in Vietnam or China. They're garbage, always a pain in the ass to mount, and always need a lot of weight to balance compared to a good tire.Cheap...... Epic Tour, Nexen, Ironman, Velozza, Sailun. All 40k mile tires

Nexen is the oddball of the cheap tire segment. They're South Korean, and started out selling tires primarily to fleets and used car lots under the name "Capitol Tire". They eventually rebranded their non-truck tires as Nexen, though you will still sometimes find "Capitol" branded tires for pickups, and started investing HEAVILY in their R&D and product awareness. They are now an OEM tire supplier for Hyundai, Kia, Fiat-Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Porsche, and Volkswagen, and their tires are still on the cheap side of the spectrum when shopping. I put Nexen N5000 Plus tires on my dad's Hyundai this last time around because he didn't rotate the expensive Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals and destroyed two of them due to cupping/scalloping. Once again the idiot didn't rotate his tires, but the Nexens have cupped so slightly over the same mileage that they're still driveable.
You're right.I planned to get the Nexens because one of my relatives had them and they were pretty good on their Chrysler 200. Unfortunately, they do not make them in the size i need
They do have the Ohtsu FP0612 in the correct size needed but it is not the correct speed ratingYou're right.
See if you can find the Ohtsu FP0612 in the correct 225/60/15 local to you, Discount Tire in my area carries them. They're pretty low-priced, and Ohtsu makes really good tires (they and Falken are both subsidiaries of Sumitomo, which also makes good tires).
It has an H speed rating in that size, are you planning on driving faster than 130mph?They do have the Ohtsu FP0612 in the correct size needed but it is not the correct speed rating
SimpleTire shows UTQG for various other sizes of tire but not for the 225/60/15 tires.What is the UTQG rating
Federal isn't bad, South Korean brand.The model of tire is
FEDERAL FORMOZA GIO
Anything over the ‘H’ rating you’ll never need in these cars. In anything that isn’t built for it, 120+ gets pretty hairy on a county road - and I doubt you’ll be taking it that fast down the strip.Has anyone heard anything about Federal tires? I found a pair with good reviews and the V speed rating for a good price
225/50-15 will work. Kumho Ecsta ASTSimpleTire shows UTQG for various other sizes of tire but not for the 225/60/15 tires.
