Comparison: Nexen N fera Sport vs. Linglong Sport Master

When comparing the Nexen N fera Sport and the Linglong Sport Master, the overall rating reveals a slight lead for the Linglong model with a 64% rating, compared to the 59% of the Nexen tyre.

The Nexen N fera Sport, produced in the Czech Republic, is a UHP (Ultra High Performance) summer tyre. It's been the first choice for initial equipment on the BMW 2-series Active Tourer. Its strengths lie in short dry braking distances and low rolling noise, while a moderate price also adds to its appeal. The drawbacks, however, are seen in the below-average mileage performance and understeering handling behaviour. In the Autobild test, out of 50 tyres, the Nexen N fera Sport was placed 14th, showcasing a decent quality-to-price ratio. More about Nexen.

On the other hand, the Linglong Sport Master, despite not revealing its country of origin, shows a stronger performance. This UHP summer tyre excels in low exterior noise and good grip both in wet and dry conditions. However, it does have a couple of limiting factors including very low mileage, understeering handling in dry conditions, and relatively reduced comfort. Still, in the Autobild test, it managed the 7th position out of 50 tyres, marking it distinctly among the strong performers in the tyre market. More about Linglong.

However, it is worth noting that individual preferences and driving circumstances might alter the perfect fit of either tyre. Purchase decisions must take into consideration specific vehicle requirements, personal driving style, and preferences over cost, noise, and wear.
