Nexen N Blue 4Season2

The Nexen N Blue 4Season2 is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize dry grip and handling in a performance all-season tire. Its dry grip and handling scores, both at 9, are above the category averages, making it a compelling option for spirited driving. The 70,000-mile treadwear warranty is a standout feature, offering significant longevity compared to the average.

In the performance all-season category, wet grip is a key consideration, and here the N Blue 4Season2 falls slightly short with a score of 7, just under the category average. This could be a concern for those who frequently drive in wet conditions. The absence of the 3PMSF certification also means it may not handle light snow as effectively as some competitors.

When comparing to rivals like the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, which offers superior wet grip, or the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus, the N Blue 4Season2 trades some wet performance for better dry handling and treadlife. It's a tire best suited for dry climates or drivers who value treadlife and dry performance over wet capabilities.

For those who need a tire with strong wet performance, the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 is a better alternative. However, if dry grip and handling are your top priorities, the N Blue 4Season2 is worth considering.
