Nexen N Fera RU1 Reviews - Page 2

Given 73% while driving a Subaru XV Crosstrek (225/55 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
Tyres are quiet, soft and comfort and i would like to think it is more towards Touring SUV type tyres compare to what it is marketed as performance type. Anyway value for money for it's price range.

Given 33% while driving a Volvo XC90 D5 (163bhp) (235/60 R18 V) on a combination of roads for 5,000 easy going miles
Wet or dry, the grip from these is terrible. I kept them on from November to May before I decided to swap them for the usual Pirelli tyre on my XC90 even though there was still 5-6 mm on them. I feel these were not suitable for those who want to survive an emergency stop.
They're quiet and the sidewalls are soft so the ride was great, they soaked up bumps very well. But they had to go.

Given 82% while driving a Subaru forester 2.5xt (225/50 R18 V) on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Coming from Fallen Azenis Fk453CC 235/50R18, the Nexen N'Fera RU1 225/50R18 were lighter in weight and on the steering column. The ride is comfortable and quieter while fuel consumption seems to be better as expected switching from 235 to 225 width!

For the price, Nexen RU1s are definitely highly recommended tires!

Given 59% while driving a BMW X5 e70 (275/45 R20 W) on mostly motorways for 500 average miles
I had a vibration issue at 80km/h and again at 100km/h when these were fitted, wheels were balanced 3 times from different dealers the last two reporting the same. Conclusion was the side walls flex under load, changed to Hankook as a test and the vibration was gone. Contacted Nexen and got no response, supplier contacted Nexen and got the same.
My experience is in 275/40/20 106 form my units have an issue which i am putting down to manufacturing defect.

The tyre at first seemed great on dry summer roads, but as soon as the temperature fell below 5 degrees and the roads were a little wet the grip deteriorated. Wheel spins when pulling off from junctions have become the norm.

Given 90% while driving a Honda CRV (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 125 easy going miles
225/60R18. Amazing tyres, especially for roads with poor surface. Very comfortable and soft. Huge difference with Michelin Latitude sport 3. Nexen is much more comfortable. Only on speeds above 140 km/h steer response is not so immediate, but it is ok, because better do not make any sharp movements on a such speed, but if going straight it is ok. Using on honda cr-v. At the moment only 200km done, so can not say much about wear, but price is good, so if it will run at least 40000km I will be happy and purchase it again.

Tyres fitted on Hyundai Santa Fe 4x4. On a 500mile round trip,Town & Motorway, Dry,Rain,Sleet & Wind weather conditions .Found them quieter than original Hankooks,Found i was more comfortable when driving on these tyres. Hope they are as good after a few more 1,000s miles

Very impressed by these tires! Definately disigned for the perfomance, genuine UHP tire. Good road feel and stability at hihger speeds. I really cant ask much more from any tire then these can offer. Cost me about 105 euros piece so they are really good value too. Thumbs up from me! PS! Its hard to call them economy tires, becouse they feel very premium - to me at least.
