Bought 4pcs new roadstone NFera SU1 . ACCORD fitted on, impressive noise level and extremely comfort drive with soft profile technology. Grip is good as what I expected after I had read so much review in the past. But but... After nearly 10,000km my driving experience tells the overall rating has reduced gradually 20% - 30% . especially high speed cruising at 160km/ph. Feels less confidence compared to Goodyear tires 2 years ago that factory fitted. Anyway, these Korea made tires is value for money in the premium category.

Given 84% while driving a Vauxhall (225/35 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 250 average miles
After receiving an unfortunate slash in my sidewall of my tire via a nice small piece of metal left on a road. I phoned around to get a new tire that day, the only place that had tires were Kwik Fit (oh no I thought) anyway, they were Nexen N Fera SU1's in stock and since the other front tire was low too I decided to change the pair of fronts and wear them through winter until I could get a "decent" set of tires put on.

Initially I wasn't holding up much hope, driving normally around town there is no difference at all to be told of felt etc. Once on the open road, I was very surprised to how they felt. They are very grippy and give lots of positive fee to the car. By no means do they feel like a budget tire. As you push ona bit they do start to feel not as planted as the Conti's I replaced, but considering the cost difference its nothing to write home about, damp / wet grip is very positive too. Only done a small amount of miles, so cannot comment on wear rate at all, but the overall feel and grip from the tire can only be applauded for the price. Very happy indeed as I no longer need to change to "decent" tires after winter, as these are more than capable.

Given 73% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 16V Sport (205/40 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,000 average miles
now 10.000 km with this tire and minimum wear.thats a big plus. real value for money.
before i had Good Year F1 assy 2 and Dunlop B.sportresponse.
dry grip with these is good, wet is okay. at high speeds the goodyear and dunlops were mutch better.
high speed tight turning and the N'fera tires can't handle it and it feels like its running from the rim. i.ve tried diffenrent pressures from 2.2 bar up to 2.6.

for normal daily driving this is a safe tire for a good price.

Given 87% while driving a Honda crx del sol VTI (205/45 R16) on a combination of roads for 9,000 spirited miles
I used this tire on my crx del sol , its fwd and has 160hp , for a car that has to accelerate and steer with the front tires these nexen's did and do a perfect job , it always lets you know when they want to lose grip and when they do .. it happens so slow you have plenty of time to counter steer or catch the back ... its comfortable quiet and excellent in the rain , for a light sports car they do very well in the rain ,aquaplaning is not a problem . A great tire all round , low price and best performance .. better even then some top brand tires ..

Given 100% while driving a Toyota Yaris (205/45 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Very good performing tire, and a very good value for money. I changed from a car with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 to this, and they were like just the same. I've had the same confidence and grip, same silence, and mostly same general feeling.
For the money, I find it hard to go wrong, the price of ~60% of "premium" brands just make them best buy.
And after 6-7000km they are almost not worn at all. Maybe where the car is also very light, but anyway...

They are much better performer than the Toyo T1R that I have used to have in the past on the Yaris, although they will not lose the end that fast if you are used to drive around with the handbrake pulled :)

Given 61% while driving a Kia Motors (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 6,800 average miles
These tires were installed in my car when I first bought it over a year and a half. Overall the tires are very comfortable, not loud at all, and have a very good grip. However, they don't seem well built for hot countries (like the Middle East) as I found them wearing too soon with only 11,000 km~ so far.

Given 97% while driving a Mercedes Benz E Class AMG (265/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 2,500 spirited miles
Bought them for my AMG E55 and Im very satisfied! They are very quiet and have a strong grip! I can compare them like premium tires (Cont, GoodYear...) but the price is two times better than premium tires. When I had Conti tires, then I had problem with good grip (wet weather), wheels are over-rolling, ESP interrupt. With Nexens grip is much better.

I Honestly think the Nexen company is losing money on these tires to gain a market share in Europe. These tires are as good as Premium brands for half the price.

After reading several reviews I took the plunge and bought 4 of these. After coming from dreadful Achilles, they completely transformed the car.

Dry and wet grip are excellent. You can drive hard through Dry or Wet conditions with much confidence. They're very quiet as well

I dare to say wet grip is on par with Uniroyal, which they call the raintire. Aquaplaning is almost non-existent.

Road feedback could be better for me, but still very good. Sidewalls are softer than sporty tires. I have the XL version and inflated them to 2.8 BAR which works fine. No worries there as these aren't sport tires anyway.

No wear after 5000 KM. I have given wear a high rating, as they're still good as new. I still have to see how they cope after say 25000 KM.

Great tires for an even greater price: Highly recommended and I would definately buy them again. It feels like i've stolen my set :)

If you're reading this, you probably need new tires for your car. Don't hesitate and buy these: You'll be amazed.

Given 90% while driving a Ford S Max (235/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
I bought a pair of these after reading the reviews on here, and i'm pleased to say they live up to the reviews in every way. I was getting though Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires like no tomorrow, so i was on the lookout for a cheaper alternative as i was fed up on spending £120 per tire every few months.
The Nexens are every bit as good as the Pirellis i replaced. If anything, the only negative (if you can call it that) is that in the dry on hard cornering they squeal a little bit. The thing that struck me most is how quiet they are, the grip is excellent in both dry and wet conditions. I went through a large puddle in the pouring rain on the motorway recently, and instinctively gripped the steering wheel hard expecting the car to aquaplane and the steering go light. I needn't have worried, the grip was maintained though all the standing water and the car was rock solid.

So far i've done around 3000 miles on them and the tread looks as deep as when i bought them, so the longevity looks good so far.

In a nutshell, i highly rate these tires and will most definitely be buying them again. Oh, and i got a pair for the cost of one Pirelli. Can't beat that really!

Excellent all round tires, these replaced my continental sports at a third of the cost. In the wet they do not loose grip, they perform exactly the same as the continentals and michelin I had before. very happy all round.

Bought these budget tires for a Nissan Micra and was compelled to write this review as this tire is so un frickin believeably quiet. Honestly it's like driving a different car. Great tire for the price.
