The Nexen N Fera SU4 is a summer performance tire with strongly positive owner feedback for dry and wet grip, value and everyday refinement. A small minority find its sidewall response too soft, while noise and comfort are not universally praised.
Owners most consistently like the N Fera SU4's grip and value. Among 68 accounts discussing specific aspects, dry grip attracts 33 positive comments without a matching complaint, and wet grip 26 against three criticisms. Value is also repeatedly praised. Noise, comfort and tread life receive substantially more favorable comments than complaints, supporting its appeal for everyday summer driving where cost matters alongside grip. This is owner experience rather than an independent performance comparison.
The reservations are limited to a minority. Six accounts criticise noise and six comfort, while five describe soft sidewalls, so drivers seeking especially crisp cornering response may be less satisfied. Four report disappointing life against 18 favorable wear accounts. Repeat reviewers remain broadly positive, but do not establish a clear long-term ageing pattern. The balance of owner experience supports it more firmly as an affordable everyday road tire than as a promise of uniform refinement or sharp response under harder use.

“Lives up and more, to the reviews I’ve read online. Very competent tire and half the price of the major names. The tires are truly long lasting. Over 30000 miles and still 3 mm left. Mainly motorway miles. Only one...”
Great overall. Highway, wet road, fast road, Nürburgring. It performs well. Never tried on the snow even though they aren't meant for it.
My only concern is that they starts to show small cracks on the border of the tread.
Almost two years with them now, I would buy them again if the small cracks stays minimal.
The performance of the tire is superb. For it's price, it is super reasonable. But my problem on the inner and outer tread, it damage so fast. Initially i thought my tire pressure is low ( im using 220kpa and im driving mpv). I change the tires, increase the pressure to 250kpa due to experience wear on inner n outer. Still the same. Same issue.
So in my opinion, the tire performance is good, but dont use it on MPV. I think it cant manage heavy car. The wear n tear is really fast.

This review is after 3 years of usage. Kind of hard driving on Fiesta ST all time. First two years was kinda good comparing to Barum Bravuris, especially on wet conditions. But now when it is 5mm left and 3 years past, it acts not very good. Become very noisy and harsh, very fast overheating and as soon it happens it lose all grip almost (but still safe if drive normally). Good point it survived 2 track days without damage and overall treadwear is slow, but loosing grip very fast and starts screaming even on low speeds. Also general comfort after 3 years is lost, it feel plastic now and very hard on road. I got Su1 on my audi last time, it was same scenario, while new they are good, after years it lost it characteristic signifiably

Good value for money. They're hard and noisy, so I wouldn't use them again. Keep in mind I was wearing Michelin tires. For cost reasons, I downgraded the quality, and it's noticeable.
Nothing beats this tire in this price range ... nothing ! ... comfort .. predictable ... good to great grip dry and wet ... cant recomand them enough . Doesnt let you down ... 27 cars .. more then 800 000km ... had all types of tires .. these are the sweet spot .
Amazing tire, driven 3000km round trip in all kind of conditions, no complaints, very quiet. Cheap but great quality for a chinese produced tire by Korean company.
I have these tires on my d15b EG Civic for 2 years now. I use these tires on the street and I have tracked them twice.
Dry Grip: On the track, the Nfera SU4 has good dry grip and is very predictable. Perfect for beginner enthusiasts.
Wet Grip: No experience on wet track. Good grip on normal wet driving conditions in the city.
Comfort: I can't comment much on that because my car has a gutted interior and all road noise is being overpowered by the exhaust noise.
Wear: The wear on the tires after 2 years is still pretty good. I use this car only around 2-3 times a week.
Overall these are great tires for the money. Perfect for both city and track use. Would definitely buy again.
First set bought year 2020, It was good all the way. Year 2024, changed another set just over the weekend. The product over the price, I have no complaint. This is comparable to Eagle F1, but for half the price only.
