I ran Nexen A/S tires on my Lexus over about 20K miles. Very pleased with wet/dry grip, quiet, good road feel yet not too stiff sidewall. Great bang for the buck. I had trouble finding them in my size this time and mounted Yokohamas. Much stiffer sidewall and more noise... crisp handling.

+2 on the nexen tires. i had a set on my saturn astra. they wore extremely well (30+k miles), were great in the wet and had a very funky tread pattern that lended itself well to the low profile tire look. performance wise they had very high slip angles and a fair amount of sidewall flex compared to yoko a008's and falken azenis that i had run on previous cars. as a daily driver tire i think they are a great bargain. obviously there are better choices for a strictly performance based tire. just my .02.
