Comparison: Maxxis Premitra HP5 vs. Nexen N Fera Primus vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2

The Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Nexen N Fera Primus are two summer tyres that have been put to the test in terms of performance, safety, and efficiency. Both are highly rated, with the Maxxis Premitra HP5 earning a 78% rating and the Nexen N Fera Primus scoring slightly higher at 80%.


Starting with the Maxxis Premitra HP5, the tyre impresses with high safety reserves in aquaplaning, coupled with short wet braking distances. However, it's noted in the Autobild 2022 test that the tyre has a more understeering handling in dry conditions and an increased rolling resistance. Furthermore, its lifespan is comparatively limited (Maxxis).


On the other hand, the Nexen N Fera Primus boasts excellent aquaplaning capabilities, secure handling on wet surfaces, and short braking distances in wet conditions. Like its Maxxis counterpart, the Nexen tyre also understeers in dry conditions and has an increased rolling resistance. Its lifespan is also notably limited (Nexen).


In terms of test positions, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 secured the 16th spot, while the Nexen N Fera Primus ranked 10th according to Autobild. According to ADAC 2017, the Maxxis tyre is praised for its good lifespan and short dry braking distances. Yet, its delayed steering response and mediocre grip level on both wet and dry surfaces saw it fall behind. For the Nexen tyre, good braking and dynamic handling on wet roads worked in its favor, but it ranked lower due to its delayed steering response and limited durability.


In conclusion, both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses. Users must carefully consider their specific needs and preferences before making a choice. However, considering all tests, and overall positions, the Nexen N Fera Primus seems to have a slight edge over the Maxxis Premitra HP5.
