The summer tire Nexen N"Fera Sport R is a high-performance model designed primarily for sports cars. In the brand's product line, it replaced the SUR4G, a tire popular in drift competitions. But against its background, this tire stands out with much greater versatility in application, which is due to the presence of a number of differences.
One of the key innovations of the tire was the use of a rubber compound with a thoroughly revised composition. It contains a large amount of carbon, as well as special polymer fillers. This increases the resistance of the tread to prolonged thermal exposure, and also reduces its heating time to "operating" temperature. The next important feature was the profile of the tread. Almost its entire area is made practically flat, which significantly increases the contact patch, taking a shape close to rectangular. This improves the grip properties on dry pavement, ensuring a more manageable vehicle handling, allowing for more precise control of its trajectory. It is worth noting the design of the tread pattern, which is distinguished by an asymmetric arrangement of elements, as well as practically no voids. The few drainage elements are represented by longitudinal grooves shifted to the inner side of the tread, as well as Z-shaped elements located on the outer side.
Key features of Nexen N"Fera Sport R:
- Improved rubber compound that increases tread resistance to wear and prolonged thermal exposure, accelerating its heating to "operating" temperatures;
- Z-shaped grooves in the central part and on the outer side of the tread not only prevent aquaplaning but also increase resistance to uneven wear, increasing the tire's mileage;
- Optimized tread profile increases the contact patch, giving it a shape that prevents tire wear, enhances grip, and makes it easier to control the vehicle's trajectory;
- Special carcass design, use of modern polymer materials and cord winding technologies provide tire stability against deformation, improving handling accuracy and stability at high speeds.
