If we directly dive into the comparison between the Nexen N blue HD plus and the Bridgestone Turanza T005, you will notice some striking differences. The most obvious one being in terms of the rating, with Nexen tyre managing a score of 46% while the Bridgestone one reaching as high as 89% in our tests. Both the tyres are meant for summer and are products of renowned manufacturers, Nexen and Bridgestone respectively.
Produced in South Korea, Nexen is recognized for its efficiency at creating value-driven models and the N blue HD plus tyre is no exception. Its strengths lie majorly in the comfort it offers during the ride. During the Autobild test, out of 51 tyres, it stood at the 31st position owing to its comfort level. The following test by AutoMotorSport also echoed similar sentiments by placing the Nexen tyre at the 10th spot, amidst a total of 11 tyres.
On the other hand, the Bridgestone Turanza T005, originated from multiple European nations including Hungary, Poland, France, and Italy, stands quite strong as a top-rated touring model. It consistently scores high points in pretty much all facets of tyre performance indicators. Within the Autobild tyre test, the Bridgestone secured the 2nd position out of 51 tyres primarily for its low rolling resistance and superb handling in wet conditions. Again, AutoMotorSport positioned it at the 2nd place out of 11 tires, recognizing its superior dry steering response, low rolling resistance, and excellent wet handling.
Despite the solid effort put up by the Nexen N blue HD plus, the results indicate the Bridgestone Turanza T005 as a clear winner in this tyre test comparison, thanks to its all-around performance, notably its handling capabilities in both dry and wet conditions as well as significant reduction in rolling resistance. It further stands as a testament to Bridgestone's commitment to producing reliable, high-performing tyres.
Note that neither of the tyres has been replaced by a newer model, hence you can still purchase either of these and the linked pages will provide you with current pricing and availability information.
