BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Nexen N Blue 4Season 2
Across five shared tests from 2023-2025, the BFGoodrich consistently places higher overall and builds a clear edge in braking on dry and wet roads, plus aquaplaning resistance. The Nexen counters with standout winter capability-especially on ice-and a compelling value proposition driven by low purchase price and, in some tests, exceptional projected mileage.

Conclusion
The Nexen N Blue 4Season 2 shines where value and winter grip matter most. It delivers excellent ice braking (best-in-test rating at ADAC 2025), competitive snow performance, lower noise, and significantly better cost-per-1,000km and wear in several evaluations (e.g., +86% mileage and far lower cost index in Auto Bild 2023). However, it shows weaknesses in aquaplaning and subjective dry precision. If you prioritise wet-road safety and balanced performance, choose the BFGoodrich. If you value low running costs and stronger ice/snow confidence-while accepting weaker aquaplaning reserves-the Nexen is the smarter buy.
Key Differences
- Braking: BFGoodrich generally stops shorter on dry and wet; Nexen occasionally edges wet on specific surfaces (wet concrete).
- Aquaplaning: BFGoodrich holds a large advantage in both straight and curved tests.
- Winter balance: Nexen excels on ice and is competitive on snow; BFGoodrich is strong on snow but not as strong on ice.
- Value and wear: Nexen often offers much better mileage and lower cost per 1,000 km; BFGoodrich shows better abrasion in ADAC 2025.
- Refinement: Nexen is typically quieter; BFGoodrich offers better steering precision on dry.
- Efficiency: BFGoodrich posts slightly lower rolling resistance and fuel use in several results.

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
