Today, we'll be comparing two popular tyres - the Nexen N blue HD plus and the Firestone Roadhawk.
Manufactured in Korea, the Nexen N blue HD plus has a rating of 46%, making it a mid-tier choice among summer tyres. It has not been replaced by a newer model and stands strong on its own. In tests conducted by Autobild, this tyre placed 31 out of 51 and got applauded for its Comfort. However, in the ADAC test, it came 13 out of 16, showing room for improvement in terms of performance. Altogether, its strengths are commendable but needs improvement in reliability and performance to win out against top competitors. More information on this tyre can be found on its dedicated page.
Coming to the Firestone Roadhawk, this summer tyre is a premium offering from a manufacturer with a deep-rooted legacy in tyre production. Users of Firestone tyres expect quality and high performance, and the Roadhawk delivers with an impressive rating of 72%. The Roadhawk excelled in both the Autobild and ADAC tests, ranking 3rd and 4th respectively. It was noted for its superior Dry handling, Wet handling, and Wet side guide in the Autobild test, showing its exceptional performance on the road in various conditions. The Firestone Roadhawk is a solid choice for those demanding high performance and reliability from their tyres. You can find out more details about this on its page.
To sum up, while the Nexen N blue HD plus offers comfort and is a fair enough option, the Firestone Roadhawk dominates when it comes to performance, handling and stability on both dry and wet conditions and is the top contender in this comparison. Considering all the tests and facts, if high performance and excellent handling in diverse conditions are your priority, then the Firestone Roadhawk is the appropriate option.
