Let's take a comprehensive look at both the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 and the Michelin CrossClimate 2. These all-round tyres represent top-notch designs from their respective manufacturers, Nexen and Michelin.
The Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 tyre represents advancements from the previous Nexen N Blue 4 Season. It is manufactured in the Czech Republic achieving a commendable rating of 62%. In the AUTOBILD test, this tyre took the 16th and 12th position among 37 and 16 tyres tested respectively. The best features of this tyre according to the evaluations are its excellent mileage and impressive price to value ratio. Nonetheless, the tyre underperforms in aquaplaning scenarios and exhibits subpar driving behaviour on snowy and wet surfaces.
On the other hand, the newer Michelin CrossClimate 2, coming in from Italy and Spain, shows an exceptional performance with an overall rating of 93%. In comparison, it holds an upper hand with the 4th and 1st positions in the AUTOBILD tests comprising 37 and 16 tyres respectively. The Michelin CrossClimate 2 tyre demonstrates extraordinary features, excelling especially in dry braking, snow cornering, snow handling, snow traction and has lower rolling resistance. Nonetheless, the tests note slightly prolonged braking distances on wet surfaces.
Summarising the test data, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 significantly outperforms its Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 counterpart with an impressive test performance, which includes higher test ratings and better features. Although the Nexen tyre continues to offer good value for money with robust dry handling capabilities, it falls short in optimum snow and wet conditions.
Consequently, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 emerges as the preferred choice for superior all-round tyre performance despite its higher price point.
