The Nexen N fera Sport, manufactured in the Czech Republic, is the first equipment tyre for the BMW 2-series Active Tourer. Despite having a lower overall rating of 59%, it outperforms the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 in several areas. Its strengths lie in aquaplaning - longitudinal, exterior noise, and wet braking, as observed in the Autobild and AutoMotorSport tests. In fact, it secured the 7th position out of 50 tyres in the Autobild test. However, Nexen N fera Sport fell short in the SportAuto and Autozeitung tests, securing the last positions. Keep in mind that this tyre doesn't impress with its sports ambitions, although it is praised for its safety and controllability on dry surfaces.

In conclusion, the choice between these tyres depends on your prioritized driving conditions and tyre features.
