Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
70/100From 15 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
74/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The Nexen N Blue 4Season 2 is generally praised by users as a reliable, affordable all-season tire that delivers exceptional comfort and respectable performance across varied weather conditions. While most reviewers highlight its quiet ride and impressive cold-weather or snow capabilities relative to its price point, a small minority experienced severely compromised traction in winter conditions.
Pros
- Exceptionality quiet ride, frequently noted as quieter than competing brands
- Strong value proposition and attractive price point
- Reliable year-round traction handling wet, dry, and mild-to-heavy winter conditions
- Good high-speed stability and comfort on the highway
Cons
- Sidewalls can feel slightly squishy during spirited driving or at the limits
- Some users reported trickier handling on pure ice compared to dedicated winter tires
- Occasional reports of poor grip on wet and cold roads or heavy snow from dissenting reviewers
Worth knowing
- Drivers of sedans like the BMW 320d (F31) and Kia Optima K5 noted stability at higher Autobahn speeds and dependable high-mileage wear over 32,000 miles.
- One driver of a light FWD vehicle reported significantly reduced winter grip, suggesting the tire's snow and ice performance may vary depending on vehicle weight distribution.
