Review on Nexen N "FERA SU1 205/55 R16 94W summer by Jnis Griis ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsuccessful purchase, I am disappointed.

They cost 245/35 and 275/30 R19. Not the first set on this car and with these dimensions, so I understand how the car should behave. Not worth your money. They cost a little house, but at the same time, the width of the tread itself is noticeably narrower than on rubber with the same size, but which becomes a little "donut". Plus, it is resistant to cones, but this is also a minus so it makes its way to the disk. Conclusion: the tread compound is hard, the sidewall is soft. Photo after two seasons.

Pros
  • Tread pattern Abrasion resistance. Bump resistant.
Cons
  • There is no braking on dry pavement, the ABS chirping starts very early, and even if you slow down smoothly with axle load, but with sudden braking, slippage begins right away. Handling on dry pavement is unpredictable, sidewall roll, and this is on a low profile. In the second season (2 years after release), the tread began to crack, like rubber for five years.
