Today, we will be comparing two highly-rated summer tyres, the Nexen N Fera Primus and Bridgestone Turanza 6. Manufactured by two respected companies in the industry, Nexen and Bridgestone, these further detail from the previous models needs to be carefully scrutinized.

The Nexen N Fera Primus is an Ultra High Performance summer tyre, rating a decent 71% in our reviews. Notable strengths include "good braking performance and dynamic wet handling".

On the flip side, Bridgestone Turanza 6 represents an improvement from the preceding model, the Turanza T005. With a superior rating of 83%, it is a robust summer tyre equipped with balanced driving properties, secure wet and dry handling, and short braking distances. Additionally, this tyre also boasts "good aquaplaning characteristics, good predicted mileage, low weight and low fuel consumption". Nevertheless, it can improve upon its properties on dry and wet road surfaces. In mutual tests, it outperformed the Nexen tyre, securing the 10th position out of 55 in Autobild and 6th position out of 16 in ADAC, where it excelled in 'Aquaplaning - longitudinal', and 'Interior noise' features.
