Comparison: Nexen N fera Sport vs. Giti Gitisport S2 vs. Apollo Aspire XP
In this article, we will conduct a side-by-side comparison of two high-performance summer tyres, the Nexen N fera Sport and the Giti Gitisport S2. Both tyres are part of the Ultra High Performance (UHP) segment and are designed to provide maximum road performance during summer months.
The Nexen N fera Sport is a tyre especially notable for its good aquaplaning reserves, short braking distances, and low rolling resistance. This tyre is currently in use as the first equipment of the BMW 2-series Active Tourer. However, it has been criticized for its understeering handling behavior and its average at best kilometer performance. The Nexen N fera Sport ranked 10th in ADAC test, 14th in AutoBild test, and 11th in SportAuto test, out of a range of 11 to 50 tyres tested.
The Giti Gitisport S2, on the other hand, performed well in terms of low fuel consumption, which is a noteworthy advantage in the current environment. However, the tyre was criticized for its performance on dry and wet surfaces, as well as its high abrasion, increased weight, and relatively short estimated mileage. The Giti Gitisport S2 ranked 15th in ADAC test, 19th in AutoBild test, and 10th in SportAuto test. The tyre has demonstrated the best Aquaplaning security feature but longer braking distance and less balanced handling on dry roads.
In summary, the Nexen N fera Sport appears to give a slightly better overall performance compared to the Giti Gitisport S2. However, the exact choice would depend on individual driving conditions and requirements. For more specific information about these tyres, consider visiting the respective manufacturer's pages: Nexen and Giti.
Neither of these tyres has been replaced by a newer model as of the current reporting period.
Keep in mind that these performances are subject to changes in individual driving habits, climate, and road conditions. It is advisable to choose a tyre based on a balanced overview of all available test results.
