Comparison: Nexen N Fera Primus vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Continental PremiumContact 7

2 mutual test(s) with detailed data

In this comparison, we will be looking at the Nexen N Fera Primus and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 tyres. Both are summer tyres but differ in performance and features, as indicated by various tyre test results.


The Nexen N Fera Primus is a part of Nexen's Ultra High Performance (UHP) segment. It has an overall rating of 71%. The tyre excels in aquaplaning resistance. It has got the 10th position in both Autobild and ADAC tests out of 50-51 total tyres. The Nexen's strong suit lies in its good braking performance and dynamic handling on wet roads. However, it struggles with delayed steering response and limited mileage. Criticism also fell on its underperforming fluid performance on dry roads and increased rolling resistance. As it comes with a relatively lower price tag, it represents a good value for those looking for performance on a budget.


On the other hand, the newer Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 which replaced the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, obtained a high rating of 84%. This tyre stood out especially in terms of mileage, comfort, and price-value in Autobild tests, securing the 18th position. However, the ADAC test was where it stole the show, securing the first position. Apart from high mileage, it has qualities such as good handling characteristics, short braking distances, and less rolling resistance. The tyre drew some criticism for its premium price level, but its long-lasting performance can justify the cost for those considering the tyre's life-cycle use.


In conclusion, the comparison between the Nexen N Fera Primus and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 shows that each has its strengths and weaknesses. Briefly, the Nexen tyre offers good performance, especially in wet conditions, and an affordable price, but lacks in steering response and lifespan. The Goodyear, though costly, is superior in terms of performance and makes up for its initial high cost with its durableness.
