Nothing bad to say, the most surprised was the durability of 25tkm driven and another 4mm surface.
The price has now risen so close to premium prices that I probably wouldn't buy anymore ...

I can’t compare fairly to my old tires as they were different front to rear. I replaced a pair of Firestone Firehawk TZ200 up front and a pair of Falken ZE914 in the rear with a set of these Nexens and so far I am extremely impressed.

Firstly they cost around £20 less than the Firestones and seem to offer better dry grip and certainly more road feedback. They are also a lot quieter when new compared to the Firestones when new. I was going to go for a higher end brand but I happened to check the reviews on here for the N Fera SU1 and they were more than glowing with people comparing them to Continentals and the like, and I have to say, as a first impression I agree.

As a result, my car breaks away far less easily at the rear than with any tires I’ve had on before these, which is a well known handling characteristic of 90s French front wheel drive cars as I’m sure other owners know, and the front end grip on turn-in is astonishingly good for what is, effectively, a budget brand.

Considering the grip compared to the advantage of only paying around £160 for a full set, I would definitely buy these again for this and other cars that I enjoy performance driving in.

Tires generally grip better than the Hankooks they replaced, particularly when pulling away in the wet.

However, I would not buy them again due to the quality of the rubber compound. After just 7000 miles (in 10 months) we are having to look at replacing them due to cracking inbetween the tread blocks and degradation of the sidewall.

These tires performed with a pleasant surprise, I don't know how but they are much better and cheaper than Dunlop Max, which I replaced them with. So much grip that I can't perform a deliberate wheel spin (just for fun sometimes)

These tires worked well in both dry and wet when new. Braking and handling was fine. They were a softer tire even as XL compared to OEM Conti Premium Contact which lasted 19000 miles. At 16000 miles the Nexens are down to 2.5 mm and are ready for replacement as on a 16" rim the handling and everything else has deteriorated quite rapidly.

These are not a good tire for the Lexus CT200h.

The 91W load rating makes the tire extremely stiff for this car. The tire shop said they’d be fine but I wish I’d trusted my instincts and bought a tire with the 87W load rating.

Added to that, the 72 decibel rating makes this a noisy tire on this car.

In cold January weather they are capable and up to the job but, all in all, not the right choice for me.

When upgrading the rims on my BMW I wanted something predicable I could trust but as the car is only used in the spring summer and autumn didn't want to pay the price for pilot sport 4s. Wanted a good buget brand and looking at Uniroyal rainsport 3 and and hankook evo2 as I've had them on other cars and the grip has been fantastic. So after finding these nexens at a cheaper price than my go to tires and a A grip rating plus good reviews on here I give them a go and I've not been disappointed. The car being over 300bhp and 600nm and equipped with a LSD you have to be really pushing to get the tail out in the dry . In wet it is very predictable no understeer that I have found. predictable oversteer all in all am very pleased they are lasting well to.

I bought these tires when I replaced my factory wheels, as they wouldn't clear the upgraded brakes back in 2014.

The compound felt soft, and thr tires appeared to have a nice tread pattern.

Dry performance on the road has been superb considering the price I paid for these ($150 a corner). I never really took the car out in the rain, so can't really comment on wet performance.

On the track, the tires were acceptable, but nothing amazing. I found them to be predictable, and I knew their limits, which admittedly was quite early. Once they heated up too much, they would skate around a lot, which wouldn't inspire much confidence. As I've driven them pretty hard, they've started splitting pretty badly along the outside area of the tread, and I've taken it as a sign to retire them, despite them still having plenty of tread life.

I would absolutely recommend these for a road car if you're on a budget, they gripped really well at regular speeds, even with spirited driving. On the street I had so much confidence in these tires. I would consider these on a low powered track car (maybe something like a Civic or an Excel for example) , but once you move into anything heavier and more powerful, it would be worth moving to a better tire.

HI
This tire is good at handling

Bought 4 new tires for my 2009 Mazda 6 2.5 Petrol Hatchback, UK model. Payed £65 per corner, fitted. Tire ratings are C and C.

They are generally good tires... Dry and wet grip are good, noise is low and comfort is good. After 7000 miles the fronts are at 4mm and rears at 6mm so swapped around as the car is starting to understeer badly in the wet. So, not very long lasting tires on this Mazda and I would not buy again as the price doesn't warrant the short life and average sporting performance. Probably decent tires for a slower, more progressive driver.

Surprisingly shocked with these tires. I had OEM continental sport contacts on my car before and I feel these tires are on par, with slightly less road noise and more comfortable. I often drive in sport and occasionally in sport+ and the grip in dry weather is impressive. Incredible value for money and would buy for sure again if the prices don’t increase too much in the future.

Changed to Nexen after my originally fitted Continental Sport Contact 5 were worn to the limit in only 22k miles.
The SU1 replacements have been superb, with very little difference in performance at almost half the price.
Now covered 13k miles and still like new.
Very impressed with the lack of noise and excellent dry and wet handling too.
