Comparison: Nexen N Blue 4 Season vs. Giti AllSeason AS1 vs. Viking WinTech

Looking for a clear, test-based comparison between the Nexen N Blue 4 Season and the Giti AllSeason AS1? Below we summarize their independent test results, key strengths and weaknesses, and which all-season tyre comes out ahead overall.


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. Based on this mutual test, the Nexen demonstrates a stronger all-round capability and broader appeal.


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. Production spans multiple locations (CN; TR), aligning with Nexen’s global footprint; see the brand’s range at Nexen manufacturer page.


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. Explore the brand lineup at the Giti manufacturer page.

  • Nexen N Blue 4 Season – Cons: Moderate wet lateral grip; higher rolling resistance.

  • Giti AllSeason AS1 – Pros: Low exterior noise, comfort-oriented.

  • Giti AllSeason AS1 – Cons: Lower overall test ranking; fewer standout strengths in safety-relevant metrics.


Model update notice
The Nexen N Blue 4 Season has been replaced by the newer Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2. If you’re buying now, the updated model is worth prioritizing as it typically improves on performance and efficiency while retaining the Nexen’s competitive pricing profile.


Verdict: Which tyre is better?
Considering the mutual Autobild test and the detailed 2020 evaluation, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season is the stronger all-season tyre overall. It delivers a more convincing balance of safety, comfort, and value and consistently outperforms the Giti AllSeason AS1 in comparative rankings. Choose the Nexen if you want a proven, well-rounded all-season option; choose the Giti mainly if ride comfort and low noise are your top priorities and you’re willing to accept trade-offs in broader performance. For the latest tech and likely improvements, consider the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2.
