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.
