Comparison: Nexen N blue HD Plus vs. Sava Intensa HP vs. Michelin e.Primacy vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Michelin Primacy 5

The Nexen N blue HD plus and Sava Intensa HP are popular choices predominantly due to their reliable performance and affordable price tag. These summer tyres manufactured by Nexen and Sava respectively, are often compared for their suitability in varied conditions. However, their performances differ according to tests conducted by Autobild, ADAC, and ACE.


According to Autobild, the Nexen N blue HD plus ranked 31st out of 51 tyres, while the Sava Intensa HP achieved a higher rank of 26th. The disparities were more considerable in the ADAC test, with the Nexen Tyre taking the 13th position out of 16 tyres while the Sava tyre secured 8th place. Quite remarkably, the Nexen tyre clinched the top spot in the ACE test as opposed to the Sava tyre's 8th position.


Made in Korea, the Nexen N blue HD plus has not been replaced by a newer model yet. Meanwhile, the Sava Intensa HP was replaced by the Sava Intensa HP2.


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.
