Superb driving experience

As a premium tire fitted out with new technologies for the best SUV driving experience, NFera RU1 provides superb handling and grip.

Wet Grip
4G optimized compound technology delivers an optimized tread grip on both wet and dry surfaces.

Handling
Improved block stiffness and balanced constuction provides excellent handling and steering stability.

Ride Comfort & Long mileage
Special tread compound, flexible sidewall and optimized asymmetric pattern design delivers a refreshing ride comfort and long mileage.

Pattern Design

Three Wide Grooves
Three wide grooves on the in-side part that wields great influence upon the driving performance in the rain are applied to improve hydro/wet performance.

One Narrow Groove
One narrow groove on out-side is applied to increase the block stiffness and thereby improve handling and steering stability during cornering.

Optimized Out/In Rib Balance
Optimized out/in rib balance delivers the best stability during high-speed driving.

Silent Sipes
Silent sipes disperse noise from high stiffness block and consequently, have a very low noise output.

Wet Grip and Dry Handling with Perfect Balance and Stability

N'Fera RU1's excellent wet braking performance is achieved with POS & HES technology. Optimal contact patch on road surface is realized by POS & FOS technology delivering best-in-class dry handling performance.

POS: Tire Profile Optimization System.
HES: Hydro Evacuation Simulation.
FOS: Footprint Optimum-shape Simulation.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

I drive more heavy footed than my wife and I have purchased tyres for £200 + each in the past and they lasted 8 to 10 months. These tyres last around 14months minimum in the front and there are a lot of round about to travel around. They give excellent grip in all weathers.

Bought these to replace the OEM Goodyear wranglers as they were avalaible, price and reviews were good, and the Goodyear’s wear wasn’t up to scratch in my opinion. They didn’t transform the handling of the car, but it’s a 7 seat giant of a SUV and so not too sporty in the corners anyway. The grip in both dry and wet wasn’t significantly worse than the Goodyear’s, and probably a little better in all but dry conditions. Had a few days use on snow / ice on treated and untreated roads, and combined with the electric wizardry of the Discovery, seemed to cope a lot better than the 1.8mm Goodyear’s i’d Just taken off. Whether the reed depth made more of an impact than brand i’m Not entirely sure. Seem to be lasting well after 12,000m I certainly would buy them again.

I was a little worried about purchasing tyres from the internet at first, however mytyre were very professional and delivery was prompt, however I recommend you check your tyres carefully on delivery as one of my tyres was the wrong size, however it was rectified promptly. Although I paid for fitting which usually costs around £10 to £15 a tyre I still saved £180. The tyres were deliverd packaged and looked great, the EU standard efficiency marking was very helpful in choosing the tyres, I had great tyres and great service from Mytyre.
