In the comparison testing performed by Autobild, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 ranked first out of 27 tyres tested. Its best features, according to the tests, are its dry handling, wet braking, and exterior noise. However, Autobild's text summary for this Bridgestone tyre highlighted a strong performance on both wet and dry roads, precise handling and low rolling resistance while its main shortcoming was its average performance on snow and satisfactory mileage.
On the flip side, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season, produced in China and Turkey, came in eighth. The tyre excelled in exterior noise and value for price, offering an excellent combination of comfort and snow cornering. The summary from Autobild noted its balanced performance, short braking distances on dry surfaces, good aquaplaning properties and quiet ride. Nonetheless, it observed relatively higher rolling resistance and less control on wet surfaces. Furthermore, this tyre model has been replaced by the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2.
In the ACE tyre testing, the results were less favourable for both tyres. The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 aged slightly better, landing seventh out of eight, distinguished for its dry handling skills and wet braking. The Nexen tyre fell to the last place. No specific strengths were identified in this particular test for the Nexen tyre.
In conclusion, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 shines in handling and braking under dry and wet conditions, but leaves room for improvement in winter conditions. It offers a quieter ride compared to many other tyres. The Nexen N Blue 4 Season is value for money and provides comfort and snow cornering. However, it could improve its wet handling and rolling resistance. Generally, both tyres present good capabilities, but your final selection should depend on your primary usage and environment.
