Nexen N'Fera SU1 Ultra-High Performance Summer Tire
Get crisp steering and confident wet-road control with the Nexen N'Fera SU1. Designed for passenger cars, this ultra-high performance summer tire delivers everyday comfort with the grip you want in warm weather. A tuned compound, a continuous center rib for solid on-center feel, and rigid shoulders provide precise feedback. Wide grooves clear water to cut hydroplaning risk, and an optimized pitch pattern helps keep cabin noise low.
Key features of the N'Fera SU1
The N'Fera SU1 is built for predictable control when the temps rise. Its summer-focused compound supports strong dry grip and sure braking. A solid center rib improves stability and tracking, while reinforced shoulders back you up in corners. Wide circumferential grooves with lateral channels move water away, and staggered tread blocks help hush pattern noise for a more refined ride.
Real-world performance: dry and wet roads
On dry pavement, the Nexen N'Fera SU1 feels precise with a reassuring on-center stance. Stable shoulders help it hold grip in quick transitions, and the groove layout supports wet braking while resisting hydroplaning in heavy rain. Road noise is well managed for the category, so daily driving stays comfortable. As a summer tire, performance drops in cold weather, so skip snow and ice and store them until temperatures stay consistently warm.
Treadwear, durability, and maintenance
Tread life depends on how and where you drive, plus alignment and maintenance. Performance compounds trade some longevity for grip, so keep pressures at the vehicle spec, rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, and correct alignment to avoid irregular wear. UTQG ratings and warranty coverage can vary by size and region, so check your sidewall and warranty booklet for specifics. Monitor tread depth regularly and replace summer tires before the legal minimum to preserve wet safety.
Sizes, fitment, and speed ratings
The Nexen N'Fera SU1 comes in popular passenger-car fitments, including enthusiast sizes like 225/45R17, 225/40R18, and 245/40R18. Many sizes carry high speed ratings, with select XL options for added load capacity where required. Always match size, load index, and speed rating to the information on your door-jamb label or owner's manual. If you are changing wheel width or diameter, consult a fitment specialist to confirm clearance and maintain overall diameter for accurate instruments and stability systems.

N'Fera SU1 vs alternatives
Choosing between the Nexen N'Fera SU1 and premium options like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 comes down to priorities. Premium tires may edge ahead in ultimate grip, braking finesse, and noise polish, but they usually cost more. The SU1 offers confident wet and dry traction, responsive steering, and agreeable road manners at a lower price. If you chase top-tier performance and brand pedigree, a premium pick fits, if you want balanced real-world speed and savings, the SU1 makes sense.
N'Fera SU1 or N'Fera SU4?
Within Nexen's lineup, the N'Fera SU1 focuses on engaging summer performance with clear steering feel and strong water evacuation. The SU4 is a newer UHP summer pattern with updated tread design and compound in select sizes. If you want proven performance and wide availability, the SU1 is an easy choice. If your size is offered in the SU4 and you prefer the latest pattern updates, compare both and match size, load index, and speed rating to your vehicle.
