In the realm of all-round tyres, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season and the Continental AllSeasonContact are noteworthy competitors. Each tyre has its own strengths and weaknesses and fares differently in various tests.
The Nexen N Blue 4 Season, rated at 62% by our experts, is praised for its convincing winter performance, notable mileage, and affordable price level. It positions well in tests, securing the 1st place in ADAC test and its strengths in ice braking, ice lateral guidance and low exterior noise were highly scored. However, understeering behavior on wet and dry tracks and extended wet braking distances were marked as weaknesses. It is noteworthy that the Nexen N Blue 4 Season has now been replaced by the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2.
The Continental AllSeasonContact ranked even higher at 76% in our review. It shines with the best winter qualities, stable wet handling, and its low rolling resistance. In Autoklub ČR, AutoMotorSport, and ACE tests, it stands out, winning the 1st position each time. Its robust performance in areas like snow braking, snow handling, and rolling resistance sets it apart. However, understeering behaviour and extended dry braking distance on the dry track, and limited mileage and economy were observed as drawbacks according to AutoBild 2022.
In summary, both tyres offer reliable performance in various conditions. The Nexen N Blue 4 Season stands out with its strong winter capabilities and lower price point -- and is best for those who prioritize winter performance and cost-effectiveness. On the other hand, the Continental AllSeasonContact provides an overall stronger performance in the majority of tests, especially in the wet conditions, and is ideal for those seeking an all-rounder tyre with an exceptional snow and wet performance.
