Our tyre test results comparison brings together data regarding two all-round tyre models: the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO and the Nexen N Blue 4 Season. Both of these models have been greatly appreciated by drivers and have been subjected to various tests for a thorough assessment.

The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO, a product of Bridgestone, is a top-quality all-season tyre manufactured in Hungary and Italy. Based on our assessment, this model earned a 75% rating, revealing its outstanding performance in various conditions. The tyre performed particularly well in wet environments, exhibiting impressive wet braking and cornering capabilities. However, feedback from Autobild 2022 indicates mixed reviews on this tyre's performance in snow and ice driving, as well as mediocre mileage results.

On the other hand, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season, produced by Nexen, hails from China and Turkey. Despite an overall rating of 62%, this tyre model pulled ahead in critical categories, such as exceptional winter capabilities and outstanding mileage, justified by its reasonable price. Autobild 2022 feedback points out minor drawbacks relating to increased braking distances on wet terrains and a slightly elevated rolling resistance. It's noteworthy though that this model was replaced by a newer tyre, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2.

When comparing the two, in Autoklub ČR testing, Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO outperformed Nexen N Blue 4 Season, securing the second position out of 10, whereas Nexen N Blue 4 Season ended up being ninth. Autobild had a larger test pool of 32, with Bridgestone and Nexen coming in 8th and 12th, respectively. While the better mileage and price/value ratio of the Nexen tyre cannot be overlooked, the Bridgestone tyre's superior wet braking and handling capabilities have given it an edge in the overall comparison.

In conclusion, while the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO provides superior performance in wet conditions, users must decide for themselves what aspects are more applicable and valuable to their specific driving needs.
