Given 66% while driving a BMW F11 520d (245/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 6,200 spirited miles
Dry Grip: the grip level is not really hight, especially in braking. Wet Grip: feels safe on wet. Easy to control with an predictable behavior. Road feedback: you can notice quite early, wenn the tire loses grip. Street conditions are also good noticeable in the steering wheel. Handling: The behavior of the tire is very predictable. It is signalizing early if it loses grip. The front and rear is very balanced on my car (weight distribution f/r/ ~47/53) and the tire handles very good with it. Especially in the wet. But the overall grip level is not on the level of an PS4. Wear: Im driving the tire for 6 month and 10000km. Often i take curves hard and one time i was driving on fast mountain roads. So i wonder how slowly the tires are wearing. Comfort: could be a little bit quieter for a touring tire and a little bit less bumpy. But in total, you can live with it fairly well. Buy again: If you want a real UHP tire and can spend a little bit more money, this is not the right tire for you. If you will safe money and want a slowly wearing touring tire which is good in the wet, this is the right tire for you.

Driving a Mitsubishi Colt 1,3 these tires makes a very noise loud. This is the only bad thing about this tire.

Given 83% while driving a Kia Motors (205/55 R16 H) on mostly town for 25,000 easy going miles
Tires came together with Kia Cerato in Singapore. When it is new the grip is awesome. Now nearing 40,000KM the dry grip has dropped. The wet grip is very good. No aquaplanning at all even at 40K KM. Noise can be a issue when driving above 100km/hr. It's a pity Nexen stop producing this good tire. At 40k KM i have about half of the thread left which is pretty good considered i drove mainly in city.

Given 94% while driving a BMW 328i (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 10 spirited miles
i just fitted my front tires with NEXEN N'FERA SU1. first difference compared to the useless DAYTON DT30, the grip for the front is just tremendous. on DT30, when i push my car for a 60kmh fast corner entry, it just understeer and shoots for the rails. But with the N'FERA, it changed it all...turn in entry same corner now, 80kmh! and does not understeer!! it just grips and say "FUCK OFF!" to that corner. Road noise is way quieter than the DT30 when new. also the N'FERA really shows its quality of a performance tire.

I drove on Nexen Nfera SU1 tires on a very twisty racing circuit in my stock car (a stock Dacia Lodgy with 115hp), ya there weren't much horsepower but I can tell you, on dry tarmac these tires had very good grip !

Given 69% while driving a Mazda Mazda6 Sedan 175 (225/45 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 23,000 average miles
dry grip was really good and noise level is fairly low on comparison with Bridgestone Turanza 005 that came with the Mazda 6 Sport 175. Bit disappointed on wet condition, braking was OK but during high torque start the wheel spin was not unavoidable and even during dry condition during half way through its life time the wheel spin started to occur during launches. Another disappointment was tread life, I am very smooth driver in-spite off my above comments I rarely do those launch type of starts otherwise most of my driving is cursing and accelerating and braking fairly smooth. But the tire reached its 1.6mm limit around 23000 miles. Will not buy these tires again, will try some other brand and see how it works! Thanks for reading!

Used them 2years and aprox 50.000km on my Honda . A bit too soft and noisy, but also they were at the half of the price of competition.

Given 69% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X (235/40 R19 W) on mostly country roads for 20,000 spirited miles
These tires were fitted brand new to my Ford Mondeo 2.0 diesel Titanium 2015 177 BHP. The tires looked nice on the tire wall and remained on my vehicle for two years. During this time they went down to just over 5mm therefore tire wear was good. However I do fit winter tires to my vehicle during the cold months. Car handled well in the dry and were very sure footed on winding country roads. Wet braking was sufficient but not exceptional. My only complaint is the tires were very hard to balance due to one going out of shape. I only realised this when changed over to winter tires which were a premium brand. This put me off refitting them to my vehicle. I guess this may have been a bad experience and I would personally avoid them in future.

Volvo (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 8,000 easy going miles
Since I retired I became more money conscious so I looked for a mid range tire to suit my pocket. My driving consists mostly of shot hops(10/25 miles) on winding roads with the occasional 250 mile trip. The V70 automatic is a motorway car and not altogether happy on country roads but these tires suit the purpose If driven to conserve fuel. However, any slight amount of surface water and the front end drifts and coming out of the bend requires a light foot on the accelerator. I reckon on getting about 12k out of my front tires but with these? Time will tell.

Given 50% while driving a Ford Fiesta ST180 (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 3,000 average miles
Had these on for 6 months now and I have no confidence in them going round corners in the wet, slightest bit of damp road and I spin the wheels if I touch the throttle.
Can't wait to change them
