Here we have two summer UHP tyres: The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 and the Nexen N fera Sport. Both have been put through rigorous testing, so let's see how they compare.

Produced in China, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 wins favor with its balanced performances on both wet and dry roads. In tests by SportAuto and AutoMotorSport, its excellent grip and dynamic response in wet corners was highlighted, confirming its strength in wet handling. Additionally, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 did well in the ACE test, securing 6th position out of 10. Notably, its best performing features were wet handling and wet side guiding. This said, the tyre is often criticized for its delayed response on dry surfaces. However, with an overall rating of 69%, it stands above its competitor in this comparison. For more information on the Maxxis Victra Sport 5, visit the manufacturer's page.

The Nexen N fera Sport, manufactured in the Czech Republic, is the first equipment tyre for the BMW 2-series Active Tourer. Despite having a lower overall rating of 59%, it outperforms the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 in several areas. Its strengths lie in aquaplaning - longitudinal, exterior noise, and wet braking, as observed in the Autobild and AutoMotorSport tests. In fact, it secured the 7th position out of 50 tyres in the Autobild test. However, Nexen N fera Sport fell short in the SportAuto and Autozeitung tests, securing the last positions. Keep in mind that this tyre doesn't impress with its sports ambitions, although it is praised for its safety and controllability on dry surfaces. To know more about the Nexen N fera Sport, check out the manufacturer's page.

In conclusion, the choice between these tyres depends on your prioritized driving conditions and tyre features. If you prefer a tyre with better overall performance and impressive wet handling, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 suits you better. However, if noise reduction and aquaplaning safety are your priorities, the Nexen N fera Sport makes a compelling argument.
