Today, we are comparing two popular tyres: the Nexen N fera Sport made by Nexen and the Continental PremiumContact 6 by Continental.
The Nexen N fera Sport gets our rating of 71%. This tyre categorizes under ultra-high performance tyres, made in the Czech Republic, and is particularly fitting for a BMW 2-series Active Tourer. In terms of mutual test positions, it was ranked 1st in GTÜ, 5th in ADAC, 7th in Autobild, 9th in AutoMotorSport, and 10th in Autozeitung. It shines specifically in the category of Aquaplaning - longitudinal, Wet braking, Exterior noise and Comfort. While the tyre is praised for safe braking on wet roads, good Aquaplaningvorsorge, and comfortable and quiet driving, it does show limited sports performance and side guiding properties on wet roads.
On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 6 achieves our rating of 87%. As a touring tyre, it's manufactured in Slovakia, Germany, and the Czech Republic. It ranks highly across the board, with 1st place in ADAC, 2nd place in Autozeitung, 3rd place in AutoMotorSport, 4th place in Autobild, and 6th place in GTÜ. The Continental PremiumContact 6 is a stand-out in terms of mileage, Price/value, Dry handling, and Comfort. As highlighted in tests, it exhibits strong dry performance, fuel-saving rolling resistance, and comfort but falls short in Aquaplaning safety reserve and delayed steering response.
It's worth mentioning that the Continental PremiumContact 6 replaced the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and has since been succeeded by the Continental PremiumContact 7.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for sporty handling and performance, the Nexen N fera Sport could be a solid choice considering its test results and strong points. However, for a more balanced, comfortable, and efficient ride, the Continental PremiumContact 6 seems to have a competitive edge as reflected in its higher ratings and top finishes in multiple tests. A careful assessment of your driving needs and conditions can help determine the better fit from these two exceptional tyres.
