Nexen N%20Fera%20SU4 Reviews - Page 5

Given 73% while driving a Audi A4 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Purchased a pre owned Audi A4 1.8t that had Nexen Su4 225 45 17 already fitted on by the dealer. I had never heard of this brand before but was extremely impressed on how quiet this tyre was and how smooth and silent the ride felt with the lowest rolling resistance I have ever experienced on a tyre. This tyre is best suited for a conservative driver as I did not feel there was enough cornering ability as the car would roll over in corners. Also under hard cornering the tyre felt like it was rolling over the rim. Only had the tyres on for 4000km and then changed to good year Eagle f1 which provides the best all round performance. Reason for changing was the tyre was hopping...it not completely round... not sure what this was due to. As I had lower grade replica rims and not sure if this caused the shape of the tyre to change. I still think this tyre deserves some credit for the price and quality of comfort it offers as compared to other premium brands. PS... the supplier of the tyres happily gave me a credit on the faulty tyres.
So if you are someone that's not fussy about how a tyre performs give this one a try...hopefully my experience with the tyre issue was rare once off as most people on this blog have praised this tyre. I am tempted to try it again though... maybe I had a bad batch???

Had the continental contactsport 5 before, but changed them with the nexen su4. These wheels are just superb better than my previous tires (contis sport 5 and vredestein ultra vorti) they are very comfortable and the grip is immense on dry and even better on raining days. Only downside is that i want to put these tires also on my 19s, but they dont have the right size for my car unfortunatly :(

Given 100% while driving a Skoda Fabia 1.2TSI 77KW(stage 1 to 100KW) (205/40 R17) on mostly motorways for 500 spirited miles
I just bought these tires after reading the reviews on this site. These tires have better official ratings than any tire in the same class from Continental, Bridgestone...
I must say that I am amazed by them. The grip is phenomenal and the feedback is amazing. I got the feeling that these tires have a very low rolling resistance, as the car almost goes by itself :)
I tested it on a long motorway drive and also in the country side curved road and they always held my car firmly on the road.

I will update my review if I find any problem with them, but for now I recommend them to anybody who wants a medium priced tyre with a good grip in dry and wet.

Dry wet grip is good until temperature drops below 3C thats is when tyre becomes hard and losses grip don't get caught by this. Lasted 10K on heavy diesel estate on the front so unless you get it < 50 a corner it is not worth it.

Given 93% while driving a Mitsubishi Lancer 1.8 (Modified) (225/40 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 6,000 spirited miles
Bought these as tyres for new wheels when I replaced the old ones, which had Nexen N1000s on them. The tyres I bought are actually Roadstones on the sidewall, but they are the exact same in every way.

I'm actually really pleased with these, another good and low cost tyre from Nexen. The tyre composes itself very well in the dry, and has better aquaplaining resistance than the N1000s I had previous, but as usual do not come close to the Rainsport 3s from Uniroyal. Road feedback is really good, the sidewalls are nice and stiff too so there's no unnecessary roll on them. Wear wise, the tyres are lasting very well given the occasional fast road use that they see, so I'm very happy on that front. Comfort wise they're not the world's quietest tyres, but they're quite easily drowned out by just turning the music up a little.

Given the £42.50 per corner these cost on eBay at 225/40/18 size, I'm pretty chuffed with the tyres. Overall would recommend to anyone.

I bought these as a set of four to replace a crap load of Bridgestone Potenzas . Straight away I could feel the road but so much quieter and much more comfortable . Wet grip is superb and very predictable . I have been across farm fields and they show no sign of giving up like the Bridgestones did . Cannot fault these , going to get another set for my other car .

Love these tyres. Admittedly they did replace the crappest mixed bag of ditch finders which were on the car when I bought it, but I have been delighted with the performance of the tyres! Te only slight criticism I have of them is that the tyre wall is a bit soft. This does add to the comfort of the ride a bit (benefit) but if you're pushing on it can lead to them feeling a little bit unstable.

i had a linglong greenmax hp010 that it lasted 55000km on front without major problems so i decided to go on Nexen Nfera SU4 because i read good reviews and until now thei are great in dry, wet, noise, confort and maneuverability in high speeds so i will bye again. the tyres have soft rubber and it was made in china. fFor now it will premature to say how the tyre in wear but the time will speak for yourself.

Given 90% while driving a Toyota Chaser (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
I thought id try these after my N8000's wore out. These are really good for a daily driven car. They're afordable and reliable. They grip well in the dry and wet. I decided to take them to a track day. They held up really well but they seem more like normal tyre for daily commuting. I would recommend these to everyone for street usage and spirited driving but not so much for track days. They held up fine for drifting but still would recommend for a daily commute tyre. In a few months ill will be Purchasing Nexen SUR4 tyres to see how they perform. I will be testing them on the track as well.

Given 94% while driving a Lexus GS430 (245/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Bought these in a 245/40/18 for £64 a corner to fit to my V8 Lexus as the Dunlop SP2030's fitted to it were uncomfortable and very noisy, which was especially highlighted in a near silent Lexus.

I would normally purchase premium tyres but I was intrigued by the combination of the Nexen's bargain price and excellent EU rating of A for wet weather braking and B for fuel economy. The Dunlops that came off my car are EU rated E & E, which is incredibly poor, and these would have cost £130 a corner!!

My car has been transformed for the better on these Nexen's with lower road noise, significantly improved ride comfort and excellent wet weather traction. Btw, I'm in my early 40s and don't drive like Miss Daisy.
