Comparison: Nexen N Blue 4 Season vs. Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 vs. Falken EuroALL Season AS210

When it comes to comparing all-round tyres, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season and Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 are both highly reputable brands. In the Nexen's case, this model has now been replaced by the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2.

Made in China and Turkey, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season boasts an overall rating of 62%. Its best features include its exterior noise level, comfort, snow cornering abilities, price/value ratio, and mileage. This tyre's remarkable longevity and competitive price point make it a highly cost-effective option. Despite this, it does show some weaknesses, particularly in its handling on wet and dry surfaces and its increased rolling resistance, which can negatively impact fuel economy.

On the other hand, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 was made in Korea and showcases an overall rating of 84%. It shines in its surprisingly quiet exterior noise level and impressive performance in the snow, particularly regarding braking and handling. It also scores highly in terms of aquaplaning performance and wet handling. However, the Hankook tyre exhibits an average lifetime and economy, which are important points to consider before purchasing.

In the Autobild test, which included 27 tyres, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season took the 8th spot, while the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 showcased a higher performance, securing the 4th spot. These rankings were echoed in ACE's test, where Hankook positioned in the 5th place, ahead of Nexen in the 8th.

In conclusion, Hankook appears to outperform Nexen in all but one category: the all-important price/value ratio. However, if you require a tyre with a more balanced performance, Hankook is the pick. On the other hand, if longevity and cost-effectiveness remain your priority, you might lean toward the Nexen.

Remember, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season has been replaced, and users should refer to the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 for the model's latest upgrade.
