N'BLUE 4SEASON 2

<p>My new Citroen C3 hybrid, (delivered in April 2026), came with factory fitted Goodyear "efficientgrip" tyres, and my plan was to fit all season tyres in November. Unfortunately one of my tyres was damaged beyond repair in early August, by a puncture close to the sidewall. My local tyre depot offered me 4 new Nexen N Blue 4Season 2 tyres at a great price, (during the very hot summer weather), so I decided to change my tyres earlier than planned. (I also had a family member who could make use of the 3 remaining Goodyears). At first, the change of tyre was quite noticeable, as you might expect, and I wasn't sure I had made the right decision. But after the first couple of hundred miles I became much more sure of the Nexens and their capabilities. I then went on holiday and covered just over 500 miles in a week on various "A" roads, "B" roads, and some motorway miles too. I had both hot and dry and cool and, (very), wet driving conditions, and the Nexens performed admirably. I've now covered around 2000 miles on these tyres, and as the weather turns colder, I'll report back again, as I live quite high up in the UK. Definitely worth considering these tyres, especially given that mine are made in Europe, (Czech Republic), by a well known brand, who supplies OEM tyres to some car makers.</p>

<p>I have had these tires for 3 years and I can say in all honesty they are worth considering.
Compared to my previous AllSeason tires (Kumho Solus HA32), Nexen are superior în all departments (wet braking, dry braking, snow, handling, cornering).
If you are not an extremely spirited driver and do not push the car to its limit, Nexen checks all boxes.
I will definitely buy again.</p>

First set of all-weather tires. Not overly impressed, as I'm used to drive on seasonal tires (summer/winter), although they are not too bad for everyday driving.
I wouldn't suggest them for spirited driving or trying the limits of the car as the tires are too squishy. For dry and wet driving, if you're following the speed limits you should be fine.
Still haven't had the chance to test them in proper snow, but with the limited experience in few snowy patches in the mountains (without surprises), I'm having high hopes to make it trough the winter.
Comfort and noise are satisfactory, possibly a trade-off from the driving dynamics.
So far for the 5000 miles (~8k km) during spring and summer, haven't noticed any difference in the tyre behaviour or indications of them being worn.
Will buy again, just not for the current car.

Even though in some tests they do not rate well the dry performance I found it quite impressive for an affordable all-season, it's progressive even when pushing and gives plenty of confidence. I also did not experience any big "fault" on the wet and snow, however I had some tricky situation on the ice vs a proper winter tyre. I would reccomend this tyre very much unless (like me) you decide to move somewhere with icy roads.

I fitted these on my 320d (F31) in december last year, they performed surprisingly well in the harsh winterconditions we had. The tires also performed well on dry roads and higer Autobahn speeds (160-200kmh). The road feedback is good for a allseason tire, im am happier than with the Vredestein quadtrac pro plus which seemed squisher. I am interested on how they will perform on warmer days in the summer. No signs of wear could be noticed at this point.
