Nexen N'Fera RU1. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Hydroplaning resistance; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Fuel efficiency; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Nexen N'Fera RU1 is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for SUVs.The tire's asymmetric tread pattern and the special tread compound enhance the summer weather traction. The asymmetric tread design promotes excellent road gripping ability in dry and wet weather. It will not perform well in colder temperatures as the tire compound loses its traction in winter conditions. The unique tread design features three wide and one narrow circumferential grooves that actively disperse water away from the tire footprint and prevent hydroplaning situations. The combination of this improves the summer weather traction greatly.The model is easy to control even during high speed driving. The unique in/out balanced rib upgrades the high speed driving stability as it keeps the tire on the road. The constant road contact stabilizes the tire against the external driving forces affecting it. The narrow groove on the tire's outside shoulder enhances the steering responsiveness and accuracy. The steering response to the driver's commands becomes more precise and quick, which ensures a reliable drive. As a result, the tire's handling becomes effortless and secure.The tread compound provides a budget conscious tire. Firstly, it is wear resistant and it slows down the tread wear rate significantly to extend the tread life and tire usability. Secondly, it lowers the rolling resistance which, in turn, reduces the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the vehicle. The combination of the better fuel efficiency and longer lasting tread life makes the tire environmentally friendly and cost-efficient.The N'Fera RU1 offers a quiet drive with the reduced road noise levels. The tread pattern's silent sipes decrease the road noise generated while the tires are in motion by breaking the path of the soundwaves through the footprint and channelling them away from the tread elements. The lower road noise makes the driving experience quiet and comfortable. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
