Today we're comparing two performance summer tyres: the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and the Nexen N fera Sport. Both are known for their superb characteristics and applications.
Michelin Pilot Sport 5
Boasting an impressive 97% rating on our site, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyre shows itself as a top contender in the Ultra-High-Performance category. It's a child of French engineering from the renowned Michelin company that replaced older models such as Pilot Sport 4 and Pilot Sport 3.
ACE's test showed it performing particularly well in terms of aquaplaning cross, putting it in the top three positions. Autobild also ranked it relatively high at sixth place out of fifty tested tyres. Highlights include precise steering behaviour and good dry and wet braking distances. However, the test also pointed out its slightly high pricing.
Nexen N fera Sport
On the other hand, taking a closer look at the Nexen N fera Sport, it has a our site rating of 59%. It's a summer tyre in the High-Performance category, manufactured in the Czech Republic by the Nexen company, and it's been chosen to be the first equipment tyre for the BMW 2-series Active Tourer.
In ACE's test, Nexen N fera Sport stood out for its exterior noise, earning it the ninth spot among the ten tyres tested. The Autobild test positioned it relatively mid-range, at the fourteenth place out of fifty. The test summary emphasized on its short dry braking distances and quiet rolling noise as main strengths. It's also more affordable compared to some competitors, but the handling behaviour and average kilometer performance hold it back slightly.
Verdict
Looking at the tests performed by ACE and Autobild, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 overall comes out as the better tyre in performance. Despite being pricier, it excels in key areas such as aquaplaning and precise steering, setting it apart. The Nexen N fera Sport makes for a good contender with decent dry braking and lower noise, also offering more budget-friendly pricing.
Consider your specific needs and budget when choosing between these two exceptional tyres.
