Starting with the Firestone Multiseason 2, it has been manufactured in Italy and it is a winter type tyre. It achieved a rating of 60% on our site. As far as our data goes, previous models are not available and have not been replaced by a newer model yet. In various tests performed by AUTOBILD, the Multiseason 2 secured the 22nd position out of 37 tyres, and the 13th position out of 16 in another round of tests. AUTOBILD credited it for its low rolling resistance but indicated some downside such as sub-par aquaplaning qualities and limited mileage.

In contrast, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2, an all-round type of tyre, is manufactured in the Czech Republic and it is the successor to the Nexen N Blue 4 season. It holds a rating of 62% according to our data. In tests performed by AUTOBILD, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 outperformed the Firestone Multiseason 2, obtaining the 16th position out of 37 in one test and an impressive 12th position out of 16 in a separate test. Particularly noteworthy are its remarkable mileage, value for price, and short dry braking distances. However, AUTOBILD also noted modest aquaplaning reserves and understeering behaviour under snowy and wet conditions.

In summary, while both tyres have their own strengths and weaknesses, clouding a clear cut verdict, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 appears to offer a better package overall in our comparison. This conclusion is supported by better test positions and a higher rating on our site. However, decisions should be guided by the specific needs and conditions each driver encounters.
