In the world of tyres, Nexen and Falken are two reputable names, and today we are going to present a thorough comparison of two of their popular summer tyres: the Nexen N fera Sport and Falken Azenis FK520.
Starting with the Nexen N fera Sport, this tyre, made in the Czech Republic, prides itself as the official first equipment for the BMW 2-series Active Tourer. It is classified as an Ultra High Performance (UHP) tyre and it scored an overall rating of 59% in our analysis. While it didn't get the top spot in any of the tests, it did notably excel in reducing exterior noise, a key factor for a more comfortable driving experience.
However, there are some areas where it can do better. For instance, the ACE tests ranked it at the 9th position out of 10, due to its understeering behaviour and only average mileage performance. Similarly, it stood at 14th position in the Autobild tests among 50 tyres, signifying that it has room for improvement in this competitive field.
On the other hand, the Falken Azenis FK520, a product of Turkey, did not have a predecessor model like the N fera Sport. Yet, it stands out as an Ultra Ultra High Performance (UUHP) tyre, with an incredible 75% in our overall rating. Its strengths lie in impressive aquaplaning and comfort characteristics, as well as reliable performance on dry surfaces and short braking distances on both wet and dry conditions. However, it too, struggles with limited lateral stability in wet conditions.
In the SportAuto tests, the Falken Azenis came in at 7th place out of 11, proving its lead over the Nexen N fera Sport. It even managed to secure an impressive 8th position in the Autobild tests among 50 tyres.
In conclusion, the tyre's strengths and weaknesses vary, and the choice between the two largely depends on individual preferences and driving conditions. If you favour a quieter ride, the Nexen N fera may be your tyre of choice. However, if you value high performance, particularly concerning aquaplaning and comfort, the Falken Azenis FK520 presents a better choice.
