Nexen N'fera SU1

EU tyre label for every size: 110 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Nexen N'fera SU1 is a summer tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 110 sizes (148 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 22″ rims.

Wet grip is rated A–C depending on size, fuel efficiency A–D and external rolling noise 67–72 dB.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 205/60 R16 (Wet grip A · Fuel efficiency A · 70 dB), the weakest 225/40 R18 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 70 dB).

On the EU market since September 2012; the earliest production week registered is 20/2012.

What the label means on the road (195/65R15)

Example: the 195/65R15 size, compared with the 947 other summer tyres registered in this size.

Wet braking from 80 km/h

≈37 m with class B, against ≈41 m for the most common class in this size (C).

Fuel efficiency

Class C, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.

Rolling noise

70 dB against a median of 71 dB in this size (1 dB quieter).

Estimates from the class ranges in Regulation (EU) 2020/740. A label class is a range, so a real tyre can sit anywhere inside it. Every 3 dB doubles the sound energy.

All 110 sizes

The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).

Same label values, different brand

These tyres have exactly the same label values as the Nexen N'fera SU1 in most of the sizes they share, and both are registered in EPREL by the same manufacturer. Identical labels do not prove two tyres are the same: classes are broad. But consistent matches across many sizes point to a shared production family.

Questions

Is the Nexen N'fera SU1 a quiet tyre?

Its declared rolling noise ranges from 67 dB to 72 dB (median 71 dB). In 56% of the sizes we could compare, it is at least as quiet as three quarters of same-size rivals.

How good is the Nexen N'fera SU1 in the wet?

Its wet grip class is A–C. In 77% of compared sizes that is at least as good as three quarters of same-size rivals.

Is the Nexen N'fera SU1 suitable for snow?

No size carries the 3PMSF symbol, so it is not certified for severe snow. In countries with winter tyre rules it does not count as a winter tyre.

When was the Nexen N'fera SU1 launched?

It has been on the EU market since September 2012. The earliest production week in its registrations is 20/2012; the DOT code on the sidewall shows the week and year of your tyre.
