NEXEN TIRE, a global leader in tire manufacturing, is proud to announce that in the latest summer tire test conducted by AUTO BILD sportscars (Issue 06/2025), the Nexen N’Fera Sport impressed with a “Good” overall rating. Competing in the demanding UHP (Ultra High Performance) segment, the N’Fera Sport particularly stood out with top-level results in wet handling and aquaplaning. It ranked second overall in wet handling, delivering precise steering response and confident grip even in challenging conditions. In aquaplaning tests, it led the entire field in water displacement, offering a clear safety advantage in heavy rain and standing water. These results confirm the N’Fera Sport as a high-performing UHP tire that combines control, responsiveness, and safety for confident everyday and dynamic driving alike.
Tested in size 245/35 R20 (front) and 295/30 R20 (rear) on a Lotus Emira, the N’Fera Sport showcased a well-balanced overall performance. Reviewers praised its precise steering response, confident braking on both wet and dry surfaces, and its comfort in rolling resistance and noise level. It combines these qualities with a reasonable price point for a high-performance tire – making it especially attractive for drivers seeking premium performance without the economic burden often associated with top-tier brands.
“This result is a strong validation of the technological development behind the N’Fera Sport,” says John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of NEXEN TIRE. “We’re proud to see that our efforts in R&D and product testing have resulted in such an outstanding balance of safety, performance, and driving confidence – particularly in demanding wet conditions.”
The overall verdict by AUTO BILD sportscars underscores NEXEN TIRE’s strategic positioning as a brand that delivers premium-level innovation and engineering that meets the expectations of today’s performance-conscious drivers. The N’Fera Sport stands out as a high-performing UHP tire for everyday confidence and spirited driving alike.
