Review on Nexen N Fera RU1 235/65 R17 104 year old by Margit Koppany ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor product, below average quality.

I was drawn to the R17 because of its low price and advertised features, which included "excellent" resistance to hydroplaning and resilience to wear. It hydroplanes well for the first ten thousand kilometers driven on a fresh tire, but towards the end of the season, after twenty thousand kilometers, the tire already grips puddles badly and also does not like a rut. If you're looking for quiet and comfort after a studded winter, look elsewhere; this rubber makes more noise and keeps making noise, and it seems like all four wheel bearings are buzzing at once. Only old, bald tires accumulate nails, but the new ones have them all. The tread is still big after two seasons and 40 thousand kilometers, but it's all cracked up like a Soviet BL-ke. It's rough on him, but consumption is up approximately 1! liter from the winter and only saving 2.5 atm of pressure. Weak handling is possible due to the "unpleasant" weight of the steering wheel. These tires are not something you should invest in.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Sound, portability, and a penchant for "spies" are all negative aspects.
