I use the N'Fera SU1 to replace my Dayton DT30 and the N'Fera SU1 is much better in every aspect. When i drive it for spirited drives and highway runs it does a very good job on keeping the noise down. Once the tyres are warm it grips in corners very well, better than Dayton DT30. In the rain it disperse water quickly compared to DT30...how is that..well from dry to suddenly entering a rain curtain that is just pouring, it didn't change the way the tyres react to those rainfall compared from Dayton DT30 that would fight on the tyres to disperse water at 120kmh. Not kidding.

Good dry grip as long as you are on a nice road surface and cant really fault the wet grip. Definitely not racing slicks but for your money it doesnt get alot better unless you go for some high end expensive tyres like ps4’s. Pretty average for road noise as I haven’t really noticed any difference. Feedback seems good but its hard to tell exactly how much of an improvement it was with the numb boat like steering you get in an astra. Would definitely recommend if you want some good reasonably priced rubber.

Four members of our family have bought this tyre and all have experienced a side wall complete blow out whilst the tyres have a lot of tread left on them.

Got these on my A4 2.0 TDI. Mostly highway miles, daily driver. After 35K kilometers there is 2.5mm and 2.0mm left on fronts, Around 6 on rear. Decided to replace them with Nexen SU'4. Was expecting a little less wear but it is not too bad also considering the lower price.
I like how quiet they are but provide plenty grip in wet & dry even after all these miles. I was expecting poor performance at lower mm's but the performance decrease is very limited. Have had Vredestein Ultrac Vorti before which lasted longer and are more suitable for a sporty style of driving but were quite noisy and had tears in inner walls after 40k kilometers.. The NEXEN's are a very good alternative for A-brand tyres if you have a non-sporty driving style.

Dry Grip: the grip level is not really hight, especially in braking.
Wet Grip: feels safe on wet. Easy to control with an predictable behavior.
Road feedback: you can notice quite early, wenn the tire loses grip. Street conditions are also good noticeable in the steering wheel.
Handling: The behavior of the tire is very predictable. It is signalizing early if it loses grip. The front and rear is very balanced on my car (weight distribution f/r/ ~47/53) and the tyre handles very good with it. Especially in the wet. But the overall grip level is not on the level of an PS4.
Wear: Im driving the tyre for 6 month and 10000km. Often i take curves hard and one time i was driving on fast mountain roads. So i wonder how slowly the tyres are wearing.
Comfort: could be a little bit quieter for a touring tyre and a little bit less bumpy. But in total, you can live with it fairly well.
Buy again: If you want a real UHP tyre and can spend a little bit more money, this is not the right tyre for you. If you will safe money and want a slowly wearing touring tyre which is good in the wet, this is the right tyre for you.

Tyres came together with Kia Cerato in Singapore. When it is new the grip is awesome. Now nearing 40,000KM the dry grip has dropped. The wet grip is very good. No aquaplanning at all even at 40K KM. Noise can be a issue when driving above 100km/hr. It's a pity Nexen stop producing this good tyre. At 40k KM i have about half of the thread left which is pretty good considered i drove mainly in city.

i just fitted my front tyres with NEXEN N'FERA SU1. first difference compared to the useless DAYTON DT30, the grip for the front is just tremendous. on DT30, when i push my car for a 60kmh fast corner entry, it just understeer and shoots for the rails. But with the N'FERA, it changed it all...turn in entry same corner now, 80kmh! and does not understeer!! it just grips and say "FUCK OFF!" to that corner. Road noise is way quieter than the DT30 when new. also the N'FERA really shows its quality of a performance tyre.
