The Nexen N Fera Primus and the Kumho Ecsta HS52 are well-known summer tyres. They've been put to the test by various institutions to ascertain their strengths and weaknesses.
The N Fera Primus scored 71% in our rating and stood out in the Autobild test, where its aquaplaning - longitudinal features were praised. However, it didn't quite outshine its competition, ranking 10th out of 51 tyres tested. Despite its good braking performance and smooth wet handling, it was marked down for delayed steering response and limited mileage/economy.
In contrast, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 exceed expectations in the tests. This summer tyre, which replaced the previous model Kumho Ecsta HS51, scored an impressive 78% in our rating. Furthermore, it ranked higher than the N Fera Primus in the Autobild test, achieving 3rd position. Reviewers praised its dry braking, dry handling, wet braking, and price/value. The HS52 also performed well in the ADAC test, earning the 8th position and commendation for its mileage and wet circle cornering. The tyre's shortcomings were acknowledged as moderate comfort, weak environmental balance, and efficiency inefficiencies.
Nexen, the manufacturer of the N Fera Primus, and Kumho, the manufacturer of the Ecsta HS52, are committed to continually improving their products to meet the demands of drivers. The HS52, in particular, demonstrates good potential with its balanced performance, short wet and dry braking distances, good comfort levels, and value for money, even if there is room for improvement in some areas.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a daily-use summer tyre, then your decision between the N Fera Primus and the HS52 will likely be based on your specific needs and preferences. If you prioritize aquaplaning characteristics and are on a restricted budget, the Nexen N Fera Primus might be a suitable choice. For drivers who value balanced performance and wet and dry handling capabilities, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 might be a better option.
