Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs Nexen N Fera Sport SU2

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the more complete tire. It brakes shorter in the dry and wet in virtually every test (often 4–8% gains), handles faster on both surfaces, and pairs that grip with excellent wear life—Auto Bild measured roughly 54,000–63,200 km versus ~34,000–35,000 km for the Nexen—translating to a markedly lower running cost per 1,000 km despite higher purchase price. Noise is usually low and rolling resistance is frequently better, making it a rounded, premium performer.

The Nexen N Fera Sport SU2 delivers credible UHP pace for less money and repeatedly shows good aquaplaning reserves (several straight/curved wins) and occasional comfort/noise wins. However, its braking/handling gaps and shorter tread life are meaningful in real‑world safety and value. If you prioritise maximum safety margins, dynamic precision and long‑term economy, choose the Goodyear. If you’re budget‑conscious, drive mostly in everyday conditions, and value aquaplaning stability and comfort, the Nexen remains a sensible, lower‑cost alternative.

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.
