About Nexen N'Fera SU1 235/55 R18 104W XL

Wet-Road Performance

The N'Fera SU1 features three main grooves and an additional semi-groove designed to help evacuate water from the contact area. Its optimized sipe placement supports wet-road traction and helps maintain stability when driving through wet conditions.

Wet Braking

The tread design and compound are developed to maintain effective contact during wet braking. The exact 235/55 R18 specification carries a B rating for wet grip under the EU tyre-label system, providing a verified indication of its wet-braking performance.

Dry-Road Handling

The N'Fera SU1 uses reinforced shoulder blocks to distribute pressure more evenly across the tread during cornering. This construction supports responsive steering and stable handling on dry paved roads, particularly during higher-speed driving.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The optimized asymmetric tread pattern is designed to balance performance with everyday driving refinement. The exact specification carries an external rolling-noise rating of 72 dB with noise class B under the EU tyre-label system.

Rolling Resistance

The 235/55 R18 104W XL specification carries a B rating for rolling resistance under the EU tyre-label system. The tyre's construction and tread compound are designed to provide a balance between road efficiency and the traction required from a UHP summer tyre.

Summer Road Use

The N'Fera SU1 is a summer ultra-high-performance tyre intended for dry and wet roads in warmer conditions. It is designed for drivers who prioritize responsive handling, wet-weather control, and high-speed road stability rather than winter or severe-snow performance.

Load Capacity

The 104 load index provides a maximum load capacity of 900 kg per tyre under the specified operating conditions. The XL construction provides reinforced load-carrying capability compared with a standard-load tyre of the same basic dimension.

W Speed Rating

The W speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 270 km/h (168 mph) under the applicable testing conditions. Actual vehicle operation should always remain within the vehicle manufacturer's specified tyre speed and load limits.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 235/55 R18 104W XL size is intended for passenger cars and compatible SUV applications that specify this tyre dimension and load-speed rating. The available exact-size data lists an approved rim-width range of 6.5 to 8.5 inches, with a 7.5-inch measuring rim.
