Nexen 14404NXK N'Fera Au7 Performance Radial Tire - 93W, 205/50R17

Price. Performance. Comfort. Quiet. Perfect. I've had these tires on my '97 Subaru for two good years now and have decided to leave a review. I needed to wait to give time for all the problems, if any to surface. And there are none. Not even a tiny one. Nothing. Price. They are competitively priced, in fact a tad cheaper than the comparative tires. I'd compare this to the Continentals I've ran for years on this and my other Subaru, a '13. And hands down these are better. For certain I'd have spent way more to put Conti's on again. But chose to go Nexen. So, I saved money up front. And have given up nothing. I stay on top of my tires. I check tire pressures and adjust them based on the type of driving that we're doing. Most times its urban, so I go a bit soft and back them off to the cars recommended pressures. And when hitting the road, I jack them up for fuel mileage. Of course, I could just leave them high, 36psi and call it a day, but, most times I just go up and down accordingly. Wear? There has been so little in the two years we've owned these that it's not worth mentioning. They still handle and look brand new. I've rotated them maybe twice in the 12k miles we've put on. But you would be hard pressed to think they have that mileage if you looked at them. I'll come back and add a photo later. That would help. Performance. One of the first things I did when they were mounted and new was take them to my favorite set of Ess curves and gave them the shove. All 4 started singing equally while dancing thru the turns. Giving nothing up except their voice. They held beautifully with maybe a touch of understeer which is the way its supposed to be, cueing you to add a bit more steering wheel to the turn. Perfect. Summing up. All good on all fronts. I have these on two other vehicles. The aforesaid Subaru and a Ford Van. The Koreans have been building tires for decades. And it shows. Nexen all the way.

This is a great tire for sporty cars and sedans. Designed to handle wet roads with improved braking and hydroplane resistance, but also handles dry roads and light snow well. Rides extremely smooth and quiet. Definitely worth a look compared to a comparable Michelin ultra high performance tire costing $60 or $70 more.

The tires were delivered a day early and are as expected. I have used Nexen's before and had great results. I will be installing them shortly and providing a review later on after I put a few miles on them. I was a bit worried about the DOM, but they are actually from earlier this year in 2018 as you can see from the picture. ***Update*** 9/25/18 After installing the tires you can feel a considerable ride difference in comfort and noise reduction compared to what came with the vehicle (Pirelli Scorpion Verdes). They offer good grip on the road and in the rain. I am happy with the purchase. ***Update 11/07/2018*** I have put about 4,000 miles on these and they still look brand new. Great on rain, quiet on the road and provide better grip than OEM tires. About 1,200 of those miles were towing with no issues. ***Update 4/1/2020*** I have put well over 55K miles on these tires since September of 2018 when I installed them. Still have another 10k to 15k left in them.

These tires are cheap, quiet, and handle well on my A4 in dry weather. Snow isn’t bad as well. Wet is ok. 30k miles on them and they may have 10k left tops and that’s pushing it. Includes regular rotation. I’d probably purchase again.

NEXEN has the best tires in the market, but be aware buying from Amazon; they sent me four years old tires

tires are of good quality,smooth and quiet.

These tires are the best well keep secret tires i have ever had.....the ride is smooth and quite. Handle well in the snow. 2010 M35X all wheel drive. Rides like a new car. Wifey cant believe they ride this well for the price....sorry Michelin we are done. Next set for my other car. Great great value.

I replaced my old all weather tires with these - wow, the traction is amazing! Wet or dry. Nice and quiet as well.
