Nexen N’Fera SU1 Review

If you are looking for a summer tire that is capable of safely performing at high speeds, you have come to the right place! Here at Priority Tire we offer a wide range of high performance summer tires and one of our best-selling models is the Nexen N’Fera SU1.

This model ensures exceptional driving security, offers reliable controllability and enables your vehicle to perform to its best capability in summer conditions. Furthermore, the tire comes with a 25,000 mile treadwear warranty offered by the manufacturer.

Summer Weather Performance

Summer tires are designed to be used in warm weather conditions. Their compound resists heat build-up during the high speed drive and prevents warm weather temperature damage. These tires, however, do not perform well in winter conditions as they lose their flexibility in temperatures below 40-45 Fahrenheit.

The N’Fera SU1 ensures first rate summer weather traction. With this tire, you can rest assured as your driving safety is guaranteed. In dry and wet weather the tire’s compound and symmetric tread pattern work together to find firm grip on the road surface. The tread’s siping detail and the compound’s heat build-up resistance increase the model’s performing capability and security in summer weather.

The tread design also features three main and one semi circumferential grooves that effectively resist hydroplaning. Hydroplaning, or aquaplaning, is a dangerous road hazard that causes the driver to lose control over their vehicle. The tread’s grooves channel water away from the tire’s footprint and actively resist hydroplaning to improve the driving safety. In this manner, the tire’s road contact is not disturbed by the standing water on the road in wet conditions and it enables a safer high speed performance.

Controllability and Maneuvering

The only link between the road surface and the vehicle is the tires. Due to this, all tires must have a quick and precise response to the driver’s instructions to make the vehicle easier to control.

The tire’s ribbed tread design closely follows the road surface at all times, which improves the tire’s controllability and maneuvering greatly. The center ribs maintain the tire’s road contact to improve the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering is faster and more accurate in its responsiveness and the tire’s structure is stabilized against the high speed driving pressure affecting it.

The N’Fera SU1’s shoulder tread block rigidity is secured throughout its performance. The better block rigidity heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during cornering, as it prevents the tread blocks from shifting during the drive. The enhanced road contact and number of biting edges improve the model’s maneuvering capability significantly, promoting optimized controllability.

The special tread design also manages to significantly shorten the braking distance. The ribbed tread design with the optimal siping detail creates friction at the moment of braking. In this manner, the tire manages to improve the braking ability and greatly shorten the braking distance.

High Speed Performance

High speed tires must maintain their road contact at all times, as at such speeds a few seconds slip can cause an accident. Due to this, Nexen manufactured the N’Fera SU1 with an optimal tread design from a stronger summer weather tire compound.

The tire’s compound prevents heat build-up during the high speed performance. This allows the tire to evenly spread out the driving pressure on the tire’s surface. As the pressure does not affect only one area of the tread, it also avoids the deformity of the optimal tire shape. This enables the tire to perform to its utmost ability with ease and safety.

The tread design’s special surface split siping detail finds grip on the road surface even during high speed performance. As a result, the tire maintains its controllability at such speeds, guaranteeing a safer high speed performance.

Longer Tread Life

As mentioned before, the N’Fera SU1 comes with a 25,000 mile treadwear warranty. This may not sound like much, but you need to keep in mind the tread wear rate of high speed tires. Most manufacturers do not offer any mileage warranty with their high performance tires.

The N’Fera SU1 ensures a longer lasting tread life. The tire’s equally balanced design evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking along the tread area, while the tire compound avoids premature wear with the prevention of irregular tread wear. This combination lengthens the tread life significantly and promotes an extended tread life and usability.
