Let us compare two all round tyres - the Nexen N Blue 4 Season and the Viking Fourtech. Both tyres are manufactured by trusted brands, Nexen and Viking, and have unique features and advantages.


The Nexen N Blue 4 Season tyre, hailed as one of the most efficient manufactured in CN and TR, has achieved a high rating of 62%. Its notable strengths lie in the exterior noise, price/value ratio, comfort, and snow cornering.


In a test conducted by Autobild, amongst 27 competitors, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season achieved the 8th position. The reviewers praised it for its balanced performance levels, short dry braking distances, good aquaplaning properties, and silent rolling noise. However, they also pointed out the mediocre side support on wet tracks and the increased rolling resistance as areas where this tyre could improve.


However, it's worthwhile mentioning that this model has been replaced with the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 , which presumably carries forward all the strengths of its predecessor, while addressing some of the issues raised in these reviews.


On the other hand, the Viking Fourtech, manufactured by Viking (link to Viking) is also a well-regarded allround tyre, having a rating of 32%. This tyre was singled out for its powerful resistance against aquaplaning, and good rolling resistance. Despite its strengths, in the Autobild test comprising 27 tyres, it could only manage to secure the 15th spot.


In conclusion, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season outperforms the Viking Fourtech in terms of exterior noise, comfort levels, and performance in snow, justifying its better position (#8) in the Autobild tests. The Viking Fourtech, although stands out with its resistance against aquaplaning and lower rolling resistance, evidently lacks in other important features.


Interestingly enough, both tyres share a common strength, in their offering of a good price/value ratio. But when all the features and critiques are taken into account, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season appears to offer greater value, given its superior test ranking and overall rating.
