The Giti Gitisport S2 and Nexen N fera Sport are both top-rated tyre options from their respective manufacturers. These summer tyres greatly differ in their performance, as seen in a series of professional tyre tests. For this comparison, let's examine their strengths and weaknesses to determine which tyre is better overall.
Manufactured in China, Giti Gitisport S2 tyres are known for their excellent aquaplaning characteristics and low noise. However, SportAuto 2021 criticized it for having relatively long braking distances and less balanced handling on dry roads. The Giti Gitisport S2 was ranked in 10th position out of 11 total tyres tested.
On the other hand, the Nexen N fera Sport, made in the Czech Republic, can be found as the first equipment on BMW 2-series Active Tourer. The tyre was praised for its short dry braking distances, quiet rolling noise, and moderate price. However, it was critiqued for its understeer handling behavior and only average mileage. In the same SportAuto test, it ranked 11th.
In autobild 2021 and sportauto 2023 tire tests, the Giti Gitisport S2 continued to receive praise for its exceptional characteristics in aquaplaning situations and low driving noise. Despite these strengths, the tyre's cons included less mileage and delayed steering response on both wet and dry road surfaces. In the Autobild test, the tyre was positioned 19th out of 50 tyres.
Conversely, the Nexen N fera Sport demonstrated strengths in terms of short dry braking distances, low noise levels, and reasonable pricing. However, similar to previous tests, its downsides included a tendency to understeer and only average mileage.
In conclusion, coming 14th in Autobild's test of 50 tyres, the Nexen N fera Sport performed better in the mutual tests overall compared to the Giti Gitisport S2. Despite this, both tyres have their respective strengths and potential drawbacks to consider. Therefore, the ultimate decision would need to take into consideration personal vehicle specifications and driving conditions and habits.
