Nexen N Fera SU4 Reviews - Page 5

Usually i am a tyre snob but i heard a lot of good things about nexen and about how good value for money they are so i thought there worth a punt.
First off i bought the SU1's and fitted them to the front of my Focus ST which is running 350bhp and 400lbft. These tyres where good a good all rounder for the price but i wanted better traction in the dry so i decided to go for the the SU4's after reading some of the reviews.
The SU4's are fantastic for the price grip is up there with the big brands they are also very comfortable and relatively quiet with good road feedback, i can't really comment on wear as ive only had them a month but the soft compound big named sporty tyres are hardly hard wearing so if im getting 6-8 month of spirited driving out of these for the price its a no brainer.
Over all im over the moon with these they are well worth the price and i would recommend them to anyone.

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???

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.
