Nexen N'Fera AU7

OVERVIEW

The Nexen N'Fera AU7 is a high performance all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Nexen offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The tire promotes great all weather traction. The asymmetric tread pattern features numerous biting edges and a detailed siping design that work together to enhance the tire's road grip in dry, wet and winter weather. The asymmetric tread's circumferential grooves manage to prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The combination of the hydroplaning resistance and exceptional traction improves the all weather performance and driving safety.

The tread design and the tire compound ensure exceptional controllability. The 3D kerf sipes maintain a firm grip on the road surface and guarantee constant road contact. This improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise, while the tire's structure is secured during the drive. The special 3D Nano Grip Technology enhances the compound to increase its road gripping ability, which allows the tire to shorten its braking distance. The better controllability and shorter braking distance provide a safer driving experience.

The tire offers excellent durability. The model's special high-stiffness structural design improves its durability as it allows the tire to closely follow the road surface. The maintained road contact and stronger tire shape prevent the tire from deforming under the driving pressure affecting it. As the tire does not deform during high speed driving, it can safely perform to its best capability in all weather.

The N'Fera AU7 also guarantees a quiet drive. The tread design features a five variable pitch tread block sequence that negates the road noise levels. The variable pitch cancels out the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion by creating a noise-cancelling sound frequency. The result is a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

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.
