Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 if you want the more dependable wet and dry safety package across the widest set of tests. The Nexen N Blue 4Season 2 makes most sense if low noise and efficiency matter most, and you accept that its wet and snow performance is less consistent between tests.
Where the Turanza All Season 6 is stronger
- Consistently shorter dry braking across all shared braking comparisons (for example Auto Bild qualifiers 2023, 2025 and 2026).
- Regularly stronger wet braking and wet handling in the full Auto Bild tests, with some large wet-braking margins (for example Auto Bild's 2025 braking qualifier and Auto Bild's 2026 all-season test).
- Often much better aquaplaning resistance, especially in ADAC's 2025 test and Auto Bild's SUV tests (2024 and 2025).
Where the N Blue 4Season 2 is stronger
- Generally lower measured pass-by noise in the Auto Bild tests (for example Auto Bild SUV 2024, Auto Bild SUV 2025, and Auto Bild all-season 2026).
- Can be strong in winter disciplines in some testing, notably ADAC's 2025 test where it leads on ice braking and performs well on snow braking and traction.
- Often competitive on efficiency-related metrics, including rolling resistance in Auto Bild's 2026 all-season test and fuel consumption in ADAC's 2025 test.

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 10 tests, 2023 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.
Scores beyond the shared tests

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6
- 79%from 44 reviews
- 76%would buy again
- 393,509 milesdriven by reviewers
Owners broadly rate the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 as a very safe, summer-leaning all-season tire, with a clear consensus around strong wet grip (mentioned by over half of reviewers) and similarly impressive dry grip. Snow traction is generally described as capable for occasional winter use, and around a third of owners also report encouraging tread life. The main drawbacks are feel and efficiency: around one in four owners complain of numb steering feedback and a similar share report higher rolling resistance/fuel consumption, while road noise is divisive with near-even praise and criticism.
- Very strong wet grip and confidence in heavy rain
- High dry grip that feels close to a summer tire
- Capable snow traction for light to moderate winter conditions
- Good tread life for year-round use
- Numb steering feel and limited feedback near the limit
- Higher rolling resistance and a noticeable fuel economy hit for some
- Road noise can be intrusive on certain surfaces, despite others finding it quiet
Summarised by AI from 43 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 44 Turanza All Season 6 reviewsNow nearly 2 years and 20k miles in. These tires are still as good as they were new and tread has only dropped to 5-6mm all round, suggesting >40,000 miles a set which is more than the OE Pirelli P7 summer tires managed. Have experienced winter slush and light snow without any grip issues, when the car felt stable and safe, but as I live on the south coast with regular trips to family in Yorkshire, they don’t need to be a dedicated winter tire. Economy unchanged around 45mpg overall, 50mpg on a motorway run. For my use, these have been very impressive and I would be happy to replace them with another set, although there may be even better choices in 3 years when these should be just about done.
Nexen N Blue 4Season 2
- 78%from 15 reviews
- 86%would buy again
- 145,500 milesdriven by reviewers
With an 80% average score and 10 of 12 reviews rating it positively, owners generally find the Nexen N Blue 4Season 2 to be a capable all-season option with dependable dry and wet grip, plus reassuring traction in snow for everyday driving. A notable minority mention ice performance, and opinions are mixed here (around a third of owners commenting), with a couple finding it excellent and a similar number reporting it's not as confidence-inspiring as a dedicated winter tire. Comfort and refinement also come through strongly, with several owners describing it as particularly quiet.
- Strong dry grip for an affordable all-season
- Confident wet grip in mixed conditions
- Surprisingly capable traction in snow
- Very low road noise
- Mixed ice grip versus a proper winter tire
- Soft/squishy feel or sidewalls when pushed
Summarised by AI from 12 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 15 N Blue 4Season 2 reviewsIn the meantime, I've driven 32,000 miles (51,000 km) on these tires (see current photos), and I have to say, they're still performing excellently on my car. Summers here are hot, and winters are mild; we rarely get snow, just wet and slushy roads. These all-season tires are the perfect choice for these conditions, eliminating the need for unnecessary tire changes (except for swapping the front tires to the rear and vice versa). And they’re a great fit for my car (Kia Optima K5). The only downside is that at highway speeds, within a certain speed range, a pulsating noise occurs due to the tread pattern, but as soon as the speed goes above or below that range, it goes away. I highly recommend them for everyday driving—I’d buy them again.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
These two all-season tires have been compared directly in 10 independent tests: Auto Bild's all-season tests (2023 and 2026), Auto Bild's all-season braking qualifiers (2023, 2025 and 2026), Auto Bild's SUV all-season tests (2024 and 2025), ADAC's 2025 all-season test, a 2024 all-season market overview braking comparison, and a 2024 sports car all-season test.
Across that mix, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is the more consistently strong performer for outright safety and lap-time style disciplines, especially on wet and dry roads. The Nexen N Blue 4Season 2 tends to trade back in noise and, depending on the test, wear and efficiency, but it is much less consistent on wet and snow results, including a very poor showing in Auto Bild's 2026 all-season test.
Conclusion
Looking across the shared tests, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 repeatedly lands well ahead overall. It is 3rd/16 in Auto Bild's 2023 all-season test, 4th/16 in ADAC's 2025 test, 2nd/11 in Auto Bild's 2025 SUV test, 4th/10 in Auto Bild's 2024 SUV test, and 5th/15 in Auto Bild's 2026 all-season test. In the three Auto Bild braking qualifiers it also comes out on top each time, and in the 2024 market overview braking comparison it ranks 1st/37. The pattern behind those placings is consistent: Bridgestone is the stronger dry stopper in every shared braking comparison, and it is usually meaningfully stronger in the wet too, sometimes by a big margin.
Wet performance is the clearest separator. Nexen is around 8% longer in wet braking in Auto Bild's 2026 all-season test, and nearly 15% longer in Auto Bild's 2025 braking qualifier, with Bridgestone also quicker in wet handling in the Auto Bild full tests (for example about 6% faster in wet handling in Auto Bild 2023). Aquaplaning is also a recurring advantage for Bridgestone, most strikingly in ADAC's 2025 test where it is about 9% better in straight-line aquaplaning and dramatically stronger in the lateral aquaplaning measurement.
Nexen does have areas where it can suit. It is consistently quieter in several Auto Bild tests, typically by about 2 to 3 dB on their measurements, and it often looks strong on rolling resistance and test “value” metrics where those are reported. Winter performance is the messy bit: ADAC 2025 credits Nexen with excellent winter results including the shortest ice braking and strong snow traction and braking, yet Auto Bild 2026 finds it the weakest on snow with a safety penalty and also very weak in the wet. Taken together, Bridgestone is the safer all-round bet if you drive quickly or see lots of rain, while Nexen is mainly for drivers prioritising low noise and efficiency, and who are comfortable with the fact its wet and snow performance varies markedly between tests.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
