Nexen N Fera SU1 Reviews - Page 2

When I bought my Fiesta ST180, it had a full set of these Nexens on the car. When I checked it over at the dealer, and being a mechanic, im not scared to look under the car. Upon doing so, I saw the inside front tyre had side wall splits. These where easily 2-4 inches in length. (Bare this in mind)

I bought the car, but told the dealer about the tyre. I asked for a MOT as well, and Ill buy the car no quibbles.

Ive had the car 5 years. And only used these tyres to keep it all matching at the same. The grip levels dry and wet are fair. How ever during the colder months the car likes to wheel spin in certain inclines, pulling away. And feels very pushy.

Ive even took these tyres on a track day. I was surprised with the fair performance again, They like to edge wear a fair bit I find.

Now to my MAJOR gripe with this tyre. In the 5 years ive owned this car. Ive put NINE tyres on it. I think two tyres where replaced due to wear. The rest where due to the sidewalls splitting on the inside. Upon googling, you will find lots of other people suffering from the same. Ive not driven the tyres flat. They just seem to suffer from British roads a little too badly I find. I do try to avoid pot holes and ruts as best as possible. But it seems the build quality of these tyres are just so poor, you could probably sneeze on them and the tyre would split.

Ive seen worse MOT'ing cars. But Ive got a tyre thats 6 months old, with 1-2 inch splits in the side wall on the inside.

Id personally avoid this brand. Im looking into other tyres within my budget, and now just going to replace all 4, and hopefully not need to change tyres again after 6 months.

After 20000 miles and 3 years on my Mondeo ST220, I would not recommend these tyres. Two tyres failed the MOT test after approx 15000 miles with sidewall cracking, at a point where they were dangerous. 5000 miles later, one of the remaining 2 started to delaminate the tread. All 4 have gone now, replaced with Goodyear F1 assymetric 6, far superior all round. The Nexen's grip was distinctly average in the dry, not at all predictable in the wet. Steering feel was poor, just heavy all the time, with no change in weighting. A complete contrast to the Goodyears, where you can feel the road surface change and the weighting vary as the grip leve and cornering speed changes. For comfort and wear they were OK, but seemed to have quite a high rolling resistance. Overall, based on my experience, I would NOT buy again, and considering that 2 had failed after 2 years and 15000 miles, I would consider them dangerous.

Had these on a VW T5 Sportline Transporter 174bhp. Not driven hard.
The tyres were quite noisy, and wear has not been exceptional, however, they have cracked all around the outer edges, inner and outer, on all 4 tyres.
Recommended to me by a trusted tyre dealer that I have used for years, and no reason to disbelieve them.
I would not recommend or buy these again

I have these tyres on a mk3 Audi TT Quattro. Most people slow down in the wet, I felt so confident I speeded up! In the dry they are excellent and almost silent. 69dB that’s 3dB less than Michelin. I have had these since February 2024 and have nad no bad issues with them. Although i have never heard of Nexen until I bought this car with them on already.

Have these tyres on for only a thousand miles. These tyres seem perfectly fine in wet and dry conditions, there is a noticeable difference in tyre noise compared to the old Goodyear that was previously on the car. Cannot comment on wear this early.

My BMW 520 i F10 already had Continental Premiuncontact 3 runflat (SSR) about 5 years ago. They were already in a position to change due to wear and tear, perhaps it could have driven about 10,000 km more, but I preferred to change them and decided on the NEXEN Nfera SU1 and the change was total.
Much smoother and quieter than the Continentals, my driving is in the city and on the highway from time to time and the comfort is much better, 100% recommended, plus its price has nothing to do with the Continentals, the value of the NEXEN in Chile At least it is 50% of the value of the Continental.
I am very happy and satisfied, I recommend them.

4000 miles on my mk1 TT 225. I had nexen su1's on my civic hence their fitment to my TT. I cant fault these tyres. The harder I push the more they push back. They dont last but I am haapy to trade longevity for grip. For the money they are unbeatable.

These came all new on ford Kuga, while ok in the dry and I do gave to say very quiet, the same cannot be said for in the wet, if you start to push on in the wet they just let go with no warning and just slide as though on ice. Had a frost this morning in North Norfolk and these are lethal. Not sure what to replace them with, but they are coming off ASAP......AVOID !

I’d buy this tyre over and over again purely on the fact that I got 100,000km out of the original set on my Kia Cerato with a 50/50 mix of city/highway driving and the tyres still had probably 5000km left.

For first 20K km it’s work great, both dry and wet handle good But it’s now around 30K it’s easily lock the wheel when hard brake (nothing crazy)

These are the stock tyres that come with the car. They last 24k miles but they are not the nicest of tyres . The grip in the wet or cold is very poor and the tyre rumble is very noticeable as it an EV. So overall I understand that the manufacture wants low road resistance to improve mpg but it's like the car is on tip toes. It's not reassuring and can be quite frightening in wet or damp. These are not the best tyres for the uk .

I have used these on my Honda Civic 1.8 since they were first recomended to me by my local tyre shop. I am now on my second set and will be putting them on my Audi TT. They just grip and grip, surefooted and utterly predictable. I simply cant fault them.
