Autobild Summer tyre test 2022 215/55 R17
satisfactory
Ranked #17 of 21
The Nexen N Fera Primus secured a mid-range position, finishing 10th among 21 competitors. This performance highlighted its exceptional aquaplaning capabilities, specifically in longitudinal resistance, where it outperformed all others. It was praised for its excellent aquaplaning qualities, secure wet handling, and short braking distances on wet surfaces, all offered at an attractive price point. However, its journey wasn't without criticisms; the tire exhibited understeering on dry surfaces, a significantly reduced lifespan, and increased rolling resistance. This balanced set of strengths and weaknesses paints a comprehensive picture of its capabilities across different conditions.
