Nexen N Fera SU1 Reviews - Page 2

Given 70% while driving a SEAT Ibiza (195/55 R16) on mostly town for 1,000 average miles
Have these tires on for only a thousand miles. These tires seem perfectly fine in wet and dry conditions, there is a noticeable difference in tire noise compared to the old Goodyear that was previously on the car. Cannot comment on wear this early.

Given 100% while driving a BMW 520i (255/45 R18) on mostly town for 35,000 easy going miles
My BMW 520 i F10 already had Continental Premiuncontact 3 runflat (SSR) about 5 years ago. They were already in a position to change due to wear and tear, perhaps it could have driven about 10,000 km more, but I preferred to change them and decided on the NEXEN Nfera SU1 and the change was total.
Much smoother and quieter than the Continentals, my driving is in the city and on the highway from time to time and the comfort is much better, 100% recommended, plus its price has nothing to do with the Continentals, the value of the NEXEN in Chile At least it is 50% of the value of the Continental.
I am very happy and satisfied, I recommend them.

4000 miles on my mk1 TT 225. I had nexen su1's on my civic hence their fitment to my TT. I cant fault these tires. The harder I push the more they push back. They dont last but I am haapy to trade longevity for grip. For the money they are unbeatable.

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Given 53% while driving a Ford Kuga (235/50 R18) on a combination of roads for 1,000 miles
These came all new on ford Kuga, while ok in the dry and I do gave to say very quiet, the same cannot be said for in the wet, if you start to push on in the wet they just let go with no warning and just slide as though on ice. Had a frost this morning in North Norfolk and these are lethal. Not sure what to replace them with, but they are coming off ASAP......AVOID !

Given 81% while driving a Kia Motors Cerato 2019 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 65,000 average miles
I’d buy this tire over and over again purely on the fact that I got 100,000km out of the original set on my Kia Cerato with a 50/50 mix of city/highway driving and the tires still had probably 5000km left.

For first 20K km it’s work great, both dry and wet handle good But it’s now around 30K it’s easily lock the wheel when hard brake (nothing crazy)

Given 67% while driving a Hyundai Kona electric (215/55 R17) on mostly town for 25,000 average miles
These are the stock tires that come with the car. They last 24k miles but they are not the nicest of tires . The grip in the wet or cold is very poor and the tire rumble is very noticeable as it an EV. So overall I understand that the manufacture wants low road resistance to improve mpg but it's like the car is on tip toes. It's not reassuring and can be quite frightening in wet or damp. These are not the best tires for the uk .

Given 89% while driving a Honda 1.8 iVTEC Es (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 15,000 spirited miles
I have used these on my Honda Civic 1.8 since they were first recomended to me by my local tire shop. I am now on my second set and will be putting them on my Audi TT. They just grip and grip, surefooted and utterly predictable. I simply cant fault them.

Given 37% while driving a Volvo V60 D3 (235/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Initially an ok tire. Now after 5k miles acceleration in wet weather my vehicle struggles to put the power down. I don’t think the tires will last longer than 10k miles

Given 40% while driving a Hyundai Kona electric (215/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 30,000 average miles
I got these tires stock with my new car in 2019 (Hyundai Kona electric) and I must say they are some of the worst tires I have experienced, but I think this may well be down to the fact that I have switched to an EV. Many manufacturers choose tires with low rolling resistance for EVs as this helps acheive better milage figures in tests which is obviously great for marketing. However, low rolling resistance generally also means less grip and combined with the fact that EVs generally have higher torque, this makes for a pretty bad driving experience particularly in the wet. I have found that the tires spin when accelerating from a stopped position on any kind of slope when wet, and by accelerating I don't mean a drag race, just a normal start from a traffic light. As I live in Hong Kong, which rains a lot this is not great. Also, I have noticed the tires squeal during turns which have never happened in my other cars and at normal speeds which I think is also due to lower traction the tires offer. Another problem I have noticed, although admittedly it may be down to luck is that I get a lot of punctures with these tires. I have been driving for around 10 years and usually I get 1-2 punctures a year, but since I got my new car I have been repairing punctures virtually every month. Although I obviously cannot be sure it is due to the tires it does seem statistically significant. It has also been suggested to me that as EV have to lug around a heavy battery pack, there is generally more load on the tires which may make them easier to puncture so read it as you may. I have switched to a set of Continental MC6 tires and at least the grip has improved and driving in the wet is now much greater for me. I would definately not recommend these tires for anyone driving EVs.
