Review on Nexen N "Blue HD Plus 215/65 R16 98H summer by Micha Sawecki ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm not completely satisfied with the product.

Before that, I searched for zero Pirelli Cinturato P4 tires and after that, I test-drove Cordiant, Kormoran, and Amtel for a short amount of time—all on the same vehicle, Sandero. The sensation of driving "like on rails" was provided by the Pirelli Cinturato P4 tires. And I'm not exaggerating when I say this: Without the driver making any adjustments to the steering wheel, the vehicle followed the predetermined path down to the millimeter. When I got behind the wheel of the Cinturato P4 for the first time, it felt as if a power steering system had been added to the vehicle, despite the fact that one already existed; the vehicle was extremely simple to operate at any speed and on any road. There is absolutely no trace of this sensation when using Nexen. You have to continually hold the steering wheel a little tighter than she did when she was on Pirelli because she is slow and difficult to rebuild, and at the same time she appears to scour a little bit on the track. Even now, in the winter, when I switched to the Nokian Hakkapeliita 5 spikes, I noticed that the automobile became noticeably easier to maintain straight on the road in comparison to when I had been driving on the Nexen in the summer. In general, the Nexen N'Blue HD Plus is an average tire for the price, and purchasing it does not elicit any particular feelings of regret. It is one among the least expensive, and buying it could help you save a little money on gas. The Korean quality is good (my was manufactured in Korea), and it has a nice overall balance. The only reviews that I can find are "quiet" and "like on rails"; however, I do not believe that this is about her.

Pros
  • 1) It seems to be a very cost-effective option. After I relocated to that location, I noticed that the car seemed to coast with greater ease. Also, the amount of gasoline used per 100 kilometers driven decreased by 0.1 to 0.2 liters on average. Although I cannot completely rule out the possibility that all of this is the result of error or a person's unique perspective, it is quite unlikely. 2) An effective countermeasure against hydroplaning. This is because the tread has broad grooves that are somewhat deep (at least up until the point where the tire is completely worn out). You never let yourself get out of control in the mud. There was not a single instance in which someone was required to move over for another driver because their grip on the road was questionable during a downpour. Whenever there is severe rain, you should always move in the lane that is moving the fastest (90-110 km/h).
Cons
  • 1) Manageability. 2) Noise. In comparison to Cordiant Standard and Amtel Planet, I didn't detect any significant differences. Even when traveling at a set pace, such as the Kormoran K801, they occasionally vibrate with the sound of a tractor, but this occurs less frequently over time. When I think back to it, I'm struck by how much less audible the Cordiant Standard was in comparison to the Pirelli Cinturato P4s.
