Head-to-head test performance
In a large Autobild all-season group test with 32 tyres, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season finished 9th, placing it securely in the top third. The Giti AllSeason AS1 ranked 27th, in the lower part of the field. Autobild highlighted the Nexen for exterior noise and price/value, while the Giti’s only repeated highlight was low exterior noise.

Deeper look at Nexen’s strengths
Autobild’s 2020 assessment of the Nexen N Blue 4 Season praised its balanced performance, short dry braking distances, good aquaplaning resistance, quiet ride, and strong economy/high mileage. Criticisms focused on moderate lateral grip on wet surfaces and a somewhat elevated rolling resistance. Overall, it’s a well-rounded choice for drivers who need year-round capability with an emphasis on comfort and value.

What the Giti offers
The Giti AllSeason AS1 has been noted primarily for its low exterior noise, which supports a comfortable, quieter ride. However, the available comparative data shows it trailing the Nexen in overall ranking and lacking similarly strong highlights in safety-critical categories. For shoppers focused strictly on comfort and potentially low pricing, it may have niche appeal, but test evidence points to performance compromises.
