About Nexen N'Fera AU7 255/35R18 94W XL

The N'Fera AU7 is Nexen's ultra-high-performance all-season tyre for drivers seeking strong dry and wet-road performance without moving to a dedicated summer tyre. The exact 255/35R18 94W XL specification is listed with a 9/32-inch tread depth, approximately 25-inch overall diameter, 50 PSI maximum inflation pressure and a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty. Nexen identifies this size with product code 15232, while retail listings identify the corresponding part number as 15232NXK. 

Ultra-High-Performance All-Season Design

The N'Fera AU7 is designed for performance-oriented passenger vehicles, including sports cars, luxury coupes and performance sedans. Its tread and casing construction are intended to combine responsive road manners with all-season usability. 

Asymmetric Tread Pattern

The asymmetric tread layout uses different tread zones to balance handling, traction and ride characteristics. The design incorporates open lateral grooves, semi-ribs and fine sipes to maintain road contact while supporting water evacuation and grip. 

Wet-Road Traction

Open lateral grooves are designed to improve drainage and help move water away from the contact patch. The tread also uses multiple fine sipes that create additional biting edges, supporting traction in wet and cooler conditions. 

Cornering Stability

The wide traction patch, semi-ribs and reinforced tread elements are designed to maintain contact with the road during cornering. This supports steering stability and predictable handling during higher-speed driving. 

Quiet and Comfortable Highway Driving

Five variable-pitch shoulder blocks are designed to disperse pattern noise across different frequencies. This construction helps reduce repetitive tread noise and supports a quieter driving experience on paved roads. 

Extra Load Construction

The 255/35R18 94W specification is an Extra Load (XL) tyre. The 94 load index corresponds to a maximum rated load of 1,477 lb, or approximately 670 kg, per tyre when operated at the specified maximum inflation pressure. 

High-Speed Capability

The W speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 270 km/h (168 mph) under the applicable tyre load, inflation and operating conditions. The vehicle manufacturer's specified load and speed ratings should always be followed.

Tread Depth and Dimensions

The exact 255/35R18 94W XL specification is listed with a 9/32-inch tread depth, approximately 25 inches overall diameter and a 10.2-inch section width. The approved rim-width range is 8.5 to 10.0 inches, with a 9.0-inch measuring rim. 

UTQG Rating

The specification is listed with a UTQG rating of 500AA/A, consisting of a 500 treadwear grade, AA traction grade and A temperature grade. UTQG ratings are comparative and actual tread life depends on vehicle type, alignment, inflation, driving style, road conditions and maintenance. 

All-Season Use

The N'Fera AU7 is classified as an ultra-high-performance all-season tyre. It is intended for year-round normal road use, but the 255/35R18 specification is not identified as a 3PMSF severe-snow tyre. 

2024 Production

The requested product is specified as a 2024 tyre. The exact production week of an individual tyre should be verified from its DOT/date code on the sidewall, because the model and size specification alone cannot establish the manufacturing date of a particular tyre.

Who Should Consider This Tyre?

Nexen N'Fera AU7 255/35R18 94W XL is suitable for compatible performance sedans, sports cars and luxury coupes requiring this exact fitment. It is intended for drivers prioritising wet traction, responsive steering, cornering stability, high-speed road performance and a relatively quiet highway ride.
