2025 Teknikens Varld Summer Tire Test P5 of 8

The Nexen N'Fera Sport SUV SU2S represented something of an eye-opener for the test team, showing significant improvement over previous Nexen products while landing in a tie for fifth place. The Korean manufacturer has clearly addressed many prior criticisms, delivering impressive objective performance in braking and hydroplaning resistance. However, the tire still lagged behind the leaders in subjective handling characteristics, with testers noting a spongy feel with poor response and diminished stability that made the vehicle feel disconnected from the road. Interestingly, the historically budget-oriented brand has now priced itself alongside premium competitors, reflecting the costs of their performance improvements but losing their previous price advantage.

This is my first time using this brand. I have previously experienced Continental, Dunlop, Bridgestone, Lassa, Good-Year, BF Goodrich, Falken, and Riken tires. I chose the Nexen N Fera Sport SUV model especially because I heard it was produced for SUV models. Since my car is a VW Tiguan Sport Style, I naturally had high expectations from the tires in terms of weight and agility. During my first use, the tires' quietness, their ability to lighten the vehicle, their supportive agility, and their quick acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h without spinning when there was a need for sudden take-off gave me confidence. I also experienced it at high speeds, and I can say that the noise level inside is quite low. I can express that I find it similar to the Continental and Dunlop models I used before. I'm still at the beginning of my journey, and my feelings of satisfaction are clearly at the forefront. I recommend it.

Grip on dry is perfect, handling on dry is very good, as well as breaking distance. When it comes to wet conditions, handling is good, breaking distance also, but if you enter a deeper water you can feel aquaplaning resistance is not so good, and this has been from day 1. I would say wet conditions are good, except with deep water. Wear is also good after almost 15 000 miles.
I would recommend this tire, especially when you take its price in consideration, I think there is no better competitor in the same price range.

Out of four of these on a KIA EV6 with road noise suppression foam, three have failed at 16000 miles, resultant vibration makes the vehicle undriveable above 35 mph. They have got to be changed now at significant cost, stuck to main brand tires and avoid these at all costs. KIA were being cheap using these on a £52000 vehicle.
