Nexen N Fera SU1 Reviews - Page 3

Given 80% while driving a Audi 2.0tdi 140 sline sportback (255/35 R19) on mostly motorways for 20,000 average miles
Got these on my A4 2.0 TDI. Mostly highway miles, daily driver. After 35K kilometers there is 2.5mm and 2.0mm left on fronts, Around 6 on rear. Decided to replace them with Nexen SU'4. Was expecting a little less wear but it is not too bad also considering the lower price. I like how quiet they are but provide plenty grip in wet & dry even after all these miles. I was expecting poor performance at lower mm's but the performance decrease is very limited. Have had Vredestein Ultrac Vorti before which lasted longer and are more suitable for a sporty style of driving but were quite noisy and had tears in inner walls after 40k kilometers.. The NEXEN's are a very good alternative for A-brand tyres if you have a non-sporty driving style.

Dry Grip: the grip level is not really hight, especially in braking. Wet Grip: feels safe on wet. Easy to control with an predictable behavior. Road feedback: you can notice quite early, wenn the tire loses grip. Street conditions are also good noticeable in the steering wheel. Handling: The behavior of the tire is very predictable. It is signalizing early if it loses grip. The front and rear is very balanced on my car (weight distribution f/r/ ~47/53) and the tyre handles very good with it. Especially in the wet. But the overall grip level is not on the level of an PS4. Wear: Im driving the tyre for 6 month and 10000km. Often i take curves hard and one time i was driving on fast mountain roads. So i wonder how slowly the tyres are wearing. Comfort: could be a little bit quieter for a touring tyre and a little bit less bumpy. But in total, you can live with it fairly well. Buy again: If you want a real UHP tyre and can spend a little bit more money, this is not the right tyre for you. If you will safe money and want a slowly wearing touring tyre which is good in the wet, this is the right tyre for you.

Driving a Mitsubishi Colt 1,3 these tyres makes a very noise loud. This is the only bad thing about this tire.

Given 83% while driving a Kia Motors (205/55 R16 H) on mostly town for 25,000 easy going miles
Tyres came together with Kia Cerato in Singapore. When it is new the grip is awesome. Now nearing 40,000KM the dry grip has dropped. The wet grip is very good. No aquaplanning at all even at 40K KM. Noise can be a issue when driving above 100km/hr. It's a pity Nexen stop producing this good tyre. At 40k KM i have about half of the thread left which is pretty good considered i drove mainly in city.

Given 94% while driving a BMW 328i (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 10 spirited miles
i just fitted my front tyres with NEXEN N'FERA SU1. first difference compared to the useless DAYTON DT30, the grip for the front is just tremendous. on DT30, when i push my car for a 60kmh fast corner entry, it just understeer and shoots for the rails. But with the N'FERA, it changed it all...turn in entry same corner now, 80kmh! and does not understeer!! it just grips and say "FUCK OFF!" to that corner. Road noise is way quieter than the DT30 when new. also the N'FERA really shows its quality of a performance tyre.

I drove on Nexen Nfera SU1 tyres on a very twisty racing circuit in my stock car (a stock Dacia Lodgy with 115hp), ya there weren't much horsepower but I can tell you, on dry tarmac these tyres had very good grip !

Given 69% while driving a Mazda Mazda6 Sedan 175 (225/45 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 23,000 average miles
dry grip was really good and noise level is fairly low on comparison with Bridgestone Turanza 005 that came with the Mazda 6 Sport 175. Bit disappointed on wet condition, braking was OK but during high torque start the wheel spin was not unavoidable and even during dry condition during half way through its life time the wheel spin started to occur during launches. Another disappointment was tread life, I am very smooth driver in-spite off my above comments I rarely do those launch type of starts otherwise most of my driving is cursing and accelerating and braking fairly smooth. But the tire reached its 1.6mm limit around 23000 miles. Will not buy these tires again, will try some other brand and see how it works! Thanks for reading!

Used them 2years and aprox 50.000km on my Honda . A bit too soft and noisy, but also they were at the half of the price of competition.

Given 69% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X (235/40 R19 W) on mostly country roads for 20,000 spirited miles
These tyres were fitted brand new to my Ford Mondeo 2.0 diesel Titanium 2015 177 BHP. The tyres looked nice on the tyre wall and remained on my vehicle for two years. During this time they went down to just over 5mm therefore tyre wear was good. However I do fit winter tyres to my vehicle during the cold months. Car handled well in the dry and were very sure footed on winding country roads. Wet braking was sufficient but not exceptional. My only complaint is the tyres were very hard to balance due to one going out of shape. I only realised this when changed over to winter tyres which were a premium brand. This put me off refitting them to my vehicle. I guess this may have been a bad experience and I would personally avoid them in future.
