Comparison: Bridgestone Turanza T005 vs. Nexen N Fera Primus vs. Firestone Roadhawk 2 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

When comparing two popular summer tyres, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 and the Nexen N Fera Primus, several factors come into play. Based on various test results, we have put together an overview of each tyre and their strong and weak points.


First off, the Bridgestone Turanza T005, produced by widely renowned Bridgestone manufacturer, garners a rating of 89% on our website and produces in various countries including Hungary, Poland, France, and Italy. This touring summer tyre delivers an excellent performance across several tests, scoring particularly high in areas such as dry braking, wet braking, wet circle cornering, and wet handling. In the ADAC 2021 testing, it placed fourth out of 50 tyres. In the autobild 2021 test, reviewers noted its balance and good performance on both dry and wet roads. Praised for high efficiency and good enviro balance, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 showed no particularly noted weaknesses.


On the other side of the spectrum, we have the Nexen N Fera Primus. This product from Nexen manufacturer is a UHP summer tyre that ranks at 80% on our ratings. It placed tenth in the ADAC 2021 test and was commended in the autobild 2022 test for its very good aquaplaning qualities, safe wet handling, and short wet braking distances. Nonetheless, this tyre had some limitations, namely understeering dry handling, considerably limited mileage, and increased rolling resistance.


In a head-to-head comparison, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 outperforms the Nexen N Fera Primus in several key areas, such as dry and wet braking, as well as wet handling. However, Nexen's offering does show strengths particularly in aquaplaning, which is an important consideration for summer tyres.


In conclusion, while both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 comes out ahead thanks to its higher rating and all-around performance. However, for budget-conscious consumers, the Nexen N Fera Primus's lower price point offers a worthwhile consideration. As always, the best choice ultimately depends on your individual driving conditions, habits, and needs.
