Nexen N Fera SU1 195/45 R19 Peugeot 106 May 12, 2019
I can't compare fairly to my old tires as they were different front to rear. I replaced a pair of Firestone Firehawk TZ200 up front and a pair of Falken ZE914 in the rear with a set of these Nexens and so far I am extremely impressed.

Firstly they cost around £20 less than the Firestones and seem to offer better dry grip and certainly more road feedback. They are also a lot quieter when new compared to the Firestones when new. I was going to go for a higher end brand but I happened to check the reviews on here for the N Fera SU1 and they were more than glowing with people comparing them to Continentals and the like, and I have to say, as a first impression I agree.

As a result, my car breaks away far less easily at the rear than with any tires I've had on before these, which is a well known handling characteristic of 90s French front wheel drive cars as I'm sure other owners know, and the front end grip on turn-in is astonishingly good for what is, effectively, a budget brand.

Considering the grip compared to the advantage of only paying around £160 for a full set, I would definitely buy these again for this and other cars that I enjoy performance driving in.

Heres the deal, are all season weather tires worth it? thats the question. I live near chicago where we've got all the seasons hitting us. I had these tires on a 2003 Jaguar S-Type R... 400bhp is tough in the winter.

These tires are AMAZING in the wet. Ive never felt so planted and never had drama or even a hint of hydroplane. The dry they feel like they should. Cornering feedback is more than usual! never a feel of vague or slushy.

The bottom line:
These tires dont work in the snow! if you have ice and such where you live... don't expect these to be your savior. They are good for 10 months out of the year! I have gone through 3 sets in 2 years. They dont last but they keep you on the road if its above 38 degrees out!

My opinion however, would be to buy dedicated summer and winter rims and tires. In the long run it will save money and your car possibly!
