BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Nexen N Blue 4Season 2

Across multiple tests, BFGoodrich establishes the more rounded driving-safety package: reliably shorter dry and wet braking, secure wet handling, and notably better aquaplaning margins (often 7-10%+ advantage in straight-line aquaplaning and meaningful gains in curved). That translates to easier control in heavy rain and more predictable behavior day to day.

Nexen's strengths are clear: excellent ice braking (top-tier in ADAC), strong snow capability, very high projected mileage (Auto Bild +86% vs BFGoodrich), and a lower purchase price, delivering superior value for cost-per-kilometer. The trade-off is weaker aquaplaning resistance and some precision shortcomings on dry roads noted by ADAC. Pick BFGoodrich if wet security and responsive dry road manners are your priorities; pick Nexen if you want winter assurance and low total ownership cost. The practical takeaway: BFGoodrich for confidence in rain, Nexen for budget-friendly, winter-leaning duty cycles.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
