The Nexen N blue HD plus is a durable, high-performance tyre with exceptional ride comfort. Its strengths lie in its superior traction and fuel-efficiency, with an ability to perform well on dry and damp surfaces. However, one of the drawbacks of this tyre is its somewhat average wet grip.
The Sava Intensa HP, on the other hand, is appreciated for its superior wet braking performance and good handling on both wet and dry surfaces. However, it has received some criticism for its moderate tread wear and noise level.
Overall, both tyres have their unique strengths and weaknesses. The Nexen N blue HD Plus wins in terms of comfort and dry performance, whereas the Sava Intensa HP impresses with its wet performance. The final choice would depend on the specific weather conditions and requirements of the driver.
