Comparison: Nexen N fera Sport vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2

The Nexen N fera Sport and Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 are two high-performance tyres that offer a variety of features tailored towards improving your driving experience. However, diving into the performance details reveal noticeable differences that could affect your choice between the two.


Nexen N fera Sport
Nexen N fera Sport, manufactured in Czech Republic, scored a 59% rating according to our assessment. It stands out for its ultra-high performance and lower exterior noise level. Notably, it was the first equipment tyre for the BMW 2-series Active Tourer. However, the tyre falls short in various tests in comparison to its competitor.
For instance, in the Autobild test, the tyre secured the 14th position out of 50 tyres, performing relatively poorer compared to the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4. It also lagged behind in the ACE test, wherein it was ranked 9th out of 10 tyres, and 11th out of 11 tyres in the SportAuto test.
Although Nexen has not yet released a replacement for this tyre, it is important to keep in mind its strengths and weaknesses when making your selection.


Pirelli P ZERO PZ4
The Pirelli P ZERO PZ4, on the other hand, outperforms the Nexen N fera Sport in majority of our analysed tests, securing itself a high rating of 85%. The tyre flaunts best features like superior dry handling, wet braking, wet circle cornering, wet handling, and dry steering response. It emerged third in Autobild and Autozeitung tests, and fifth in ACE and SportAuto tests, earning a respectable place in our comparison.
Despite certain weaknesses like lower kilometre mileage and higher price as pointed out in Autobild 2023 test, its balanced performance on wet surface, precise steering response, and high lateral grip in corners - as per sportauto 2023 comments - make it an excellent choice for a performance-focused, all-round summer tyre from Pirelli.


Verdict: While both tyres offer unique selling points, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 edges out overall with its exceptional performance and features. However, those seeking a quieter tyre with moderate pricing may want to consider the Nexen N fera Sport, despite it lagging behind in mutual test results.
