When comparing the Nokian WeatherProof and Nexen N Blue 4 Season, it's immediately obvious that these tyres from manufacturers Nokian and Nexen are top-performing allround tyres. However, each tyre has its own strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics that make it unique.
The Nokian WeatherProof tyre, made in Finland, earned an overall rating of 59% in our tests. It notably excelled in categories such as aquaplaning (both cross and longitudinal), dry handling, snow braking, and snow traction, helping it to earn top positions in various tyre tests including Autoklub ČR, ACE, and ADAC. However, the tyre's position was not consistently high across all tests; it ranked 9th out of 27 tyres in the Autobild test.
On the other hand, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season, produced in China and Turkey, secured an overall rating of 62%. It particularly stood out thanks to its exterior noise, price/value ratio, comfort, and snow cornering. These strengths helped it to rank 1st in the ADAC test, outperforming the Nokian WeatherProof. And yet, it took the last place in the ACE test and secured the 8th position out of 27 in the Autobild test. The Nexen N Blue 4 Season has since been replaced by the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2.
In summary, both tyres have demonstrated significant strengths in varying conditions. As per the comparative analysis, the Nokian WeatherProof shows superior performance in handling aquaplaning and snow scenarios, making it a suitable choice for regions with harsh winter conditions. Conversely, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season exhibits exceptional noise control, comfort, and value, making it an excellent choice for drivers seeking a quieter, comfortable ride without breaking their budget. However, the performance of these tyres varies across different tests, so prospective buyers should consider the specific features they value most before making a final decision.
