The Nexen N blue HD plus and the Michelin Primacy 4 are both solid choices for drivers who prioritise performance and comfort. These _summer tyres_ offer a range of features that will enhance your driving experience. Yet, when we compare them head-to-head, we find that each tyre has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Considering the Nexen N blue HD plus, this tyre produced in South Korea offers excellent _comfort_ as one of its strongest points according to the Autobild test, and our own rating scores it at _42%_. However, it has placed rather low in mutual testing, with positions of _15_ out of 53 at Autobild and _10_ out of 11 at AutoMotorSport.
On the other side of the comparison is the Michelin Primacy 4. As a _touring tyre_ made in Spain, Germany and Poland, this tyre replaced its previous model, the Michelin Primacy 3, and stood out with several best features like _Dry Braking, Dry Handling and Rolling_ resistance as per AutoMotorSport's test. It fared impressively in the same tests, achieving positions of _5_ and _3_ respectively. Additionally, our rating is significantly higher at _82%_. It's worth mentioning that the Michel Primacy 4 has since been upgraded to a new model, the Michelin Primacy 4+.
We can conclude that while the Nexen N blue HD plus generally provides good comfort, the performance on tests is a bit underwhelming in comparison with the Michelin Primacy 4, which displays excellent test results and also has a rich feature set. Therefore, if you're looking for a summer tyre that will deliver on consistent performance with high ratings, the Michelin Primacy 4 could be a better choice for you. However, if your primary concern is comfort during summer driving, the Nexen N blue HD plus appears to be a suitable option. Various factors come into play when choosing the right tyre, be sure to consider your specific needs and preferences before making a decision.
