Nexen N Fera SU1 tyres

The Nexen N'Fera SU1 is a summer tyre designed to be fitted to passenger cars. Despite being a relatively new arrival on the market, it has already achieved considerable success in tyre tests and was awarded a coveted iF Design Award by the International Forum Design GmbH in 2014 - meaning it doesn't just perform well, it looks good too. Korean manufacturers Nexen geared the tyre's development towards an excellent wet road performance.

To achieve this, they furnished the tyre with four asymmetrical longitudinal grooves - one of which is narrow - and a number of lateral grooves, which are responsible for evacuating water from the tread. This improves road contact, reduces braking distances and prevents aquaplaning. The three central blocks created by the longitudinal grooves ensure robustness and stability at high speeds. Fans of speedy driving must also ensure that a tyre has good cornering stability, which is achieved in the case of the Nexen N'Fera SU1 through an optimised shoulder and rib block. These improve the tyre's handling in all weather conditions.

The tyre's Multiple 3D Edge technology distributes the pressure equally over the tyre, reducing the rate of wear and increasing the tyre's cost-effectiveness, as noted by German publication "Autobild" in their 2014 summer tyre test. The excellent price-performance ratio of the N'Fera SU1 makes it highly recommendable for safety-conscious motorists on a budget. Nexen offers the tyre in around 50 sizes for 15-20 inches, making it suitable for vehicles from the compact right up to the luxury class.
