  • The Nexen N'Fera Sport SU2 doesn't set any highlights, but it delivers decent results and shows no major weaknesses. That's not enough for a good placement, but considering the price it's ok.

Questions and Answers for the Nexen N Fera Sport SU2

2019-09-28 - Gibt es diesen Reifen überhaupt? Eine Internetsuche weist auf eine weltweite Markteinführung hin und es gibt ein Video auf YouTube. Mein lokaler Nexen-Lieferant (die Marke Nexen scheint sein größter Verkaufsschlager zu sein) gibt an, er habe noch nie vom SU2 gehört. Der nächste leistungsorientierte Nexen-Reifen, der 2020 auf den Markt kommt, wird einfach „Sport“ heißen. Ich habe Nexen Europe eine E-Mail geschickt, aber noch keine Antwort erhalten. Könnten Sie mithilfe Ihrer Branchenkontakte ein wenig nachforschen?

Der Reifen wurde dieses Jahr in Deutschland angekündigt, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob und wann er in Produktion gehen wird. Ich werde Nexen eine Nachricht hinterlassen!

When I bought my car was with Conti 5. I changed them with Bridgestone Potenza and the last change was with Nexen.
In first I was excited! There was no noise. The handling was very good and when I thought that I spend 280 euros (400+ was needed for premium tires) for a vfm buy.
After 20.000km with speeds never exceed 120km, economy and safe driving (no hard accelerations, brakes or cornering) because of a newborn I saw that almost I need new tires. Spinning, ABS and TCS engagement occurs too often and you can see why in the tires. And the finally verdict against them was a huge crack in the internal side of the one tire which was discovered when the warning light for tire pressure light up and I move to the tire shop to check it.
For me it's a "never again" it's a dangerous tire and this kind of failure as I can read is something almost common.

Latest Nexen N Fera Sport SU2 Reviews

Given 64% while driving a Volkswagen Golf MK8 1.5 Style (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 8,000 average miles
The tires came with the car out of the factory and let me start with saying that they are OK, especially at the price point. I have driven better tires, however.

Dry grip is adequate, however, the rubber compound is extremely soft, for a summer performance tire and they squirm a bit under hard cornering. On the other hand the carcass is rather stiff on W speed rated tires and it rides badly. Comfort is pretty mediocre, both ride quality and tire noise are, well, bad.

Wet performance seems to be better than dry - I guess the soft compound is better in the wet when temperatures are lower, which again is strange for a summer performance tire.

Tire wear seems to be normal so far - about 1 mm of wear in 12 000 km, which is about what I get with most tires.

Overall the tire is decent for how cheap it is and it's certainly far better than some chinese ditch finder, but don't expect best in class performance for 1/3 of the price.

Good tire as usual Nexen and Kumho are great choices for tires, my theory is buy a new tire every 2max 3 years to be on safe properties otherwise risk not worthed in case of emergency.

This tire was fitted on my Audi A3 8Y Sportback from factory. Handling on dry and wet was 'good', but nothing mindblowing. Wear was really bad though. What's even worse, tire got serious damage at its shoulder ribs after ~7000km which ended up being just "bad material / quality control from factory", as it was explained to me by the guy who replaced them. I would never buy them again, for safety reasons.

Compared to Michelin they are "OK".. Not sth fancy. Cornering is good , braking is medium but comfort and economy is bad. In an suv I can feel every road imperfection. Bad performance when it's cold.

Given 59% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI (225/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 9,000 spirited miles
Decided to buy a set to replace some Falken, pushed by dealer . They are OEM on Porsche and very cheap. Don’t know how they managed to get factory fitted on the german supercars, as they are “just ok”. At the orice point, probably a few other brands I would have considered. And wear seems to be horrible. Cheap yes, but I feel in the long run it is going to cost me more. Not recommended.

240kmh in rain no problem, 200kmh cornering in dry also not a problem.(understeer is easily controlable and predictable). Wear is a bit quicker but not a big problem since tire is not that expensive

Citroën (245/35 R18) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Bought my ds5 180 auto with these on it, I was a little bit unsure of what to expect as I had no experience of the brand but they're excellent, I'd definitely buy them next time. Quiet, grippy, not sure how they'll wear but that's a secondary consideration as the quality is there at a much lower price than original fitment.
