Here we are comparing two tyres: Viking Protech NewGen and Nexen N fera Sport. Both are summer tyres, courtesy of manufacturers Viking and Nexen respectively. Based on the data we have, it's clear that there are certain strengths and weaknesses that need to be accounted for each tyre.
Talking about the Viking Protech NewGen first, it received an overall rating of 28% from our team. This tyre performs particularly well in terms of fuel efficiency, as confirmed in the ADAC test, where it was the standout feature. However, the data reveals a significant shortfall on dry and wet roads. With a position of 37 in the Autobild test (out of 50 tyres) and 16 in the ADAC test (out of 17), it seems clear that Viking Protech NewGen performs less reliably in some areas.
Key takeaway: The Viking Protech NewGen provides good fuel efficiency but comes up short in wet and dry performance.
On the other hand, we have the Nexen N fera Sport. It scored significantly higher in our team's rating, reaching 67%. This tyre is recognised for its impressive dry braking distance and quiet rolling noise, as pointed out in the 2022 ADAC test. However, it presents a couple of downsides such as an understeering handling behavior and an average kilometre performance.
The overall positions of the Nexen N fera Sport within the tests show it as a strong contender. Out of 50 tyres, it stood at 14th in the Autobild test and 8th in the ADAC test (out of 17). These results indicate the model's consistent performance.
Key takeaway: Nexen N fera Sport performs well particularly in dry conditions and is quieter than most. However, it might understeer and present a moderate kilometre performance.
Between this two tyres, the Nexen N fera Sport seems to be a stronger performer overall, outscoring the Viking Protech NewGen in tests and internal ratings. Each presents unique elements worth considering based on individual requirements from a tyre. Please note, at this time no newer tyre model has replaced either of these two.
