Global tire manufacturer NEXEN TIRE has announced that its ROADIAN GTX will be the original equipment (OE) tire for the hybrid version of Kia's mid-size SUV, the Sorento, following the 2027 model-year update. The updated model will feature a new 20-inch ROADIAN GTX lineup, joining the existing 17-inch size for the Sorento Hybrid. The 17-inch size will be available for vehicles sold in Korea and North America, while the 20-inch size will be for those sold in Korea.
The ROADIAN GTX is a tire specifically designed for SUVs, offering strong braking performance, long tread life, quiet operation, and ride comfort. Its specially formulated compound ensures consistent performance across a wide temperature range, supporting reliable braking and a comfortable ride. The tire's zigzag pattern design evenly distributes ground pressure, minimizing vehicle pull while driving, and its enhanced mileage performance extends replacement intervals, meeting the durability and efficiency requirements of hybrid SUVs.
NEXEN TIRE has previously supplied OE tires on major global SUV models, such as the Kia EV5 and EV6, the Renault Filante, and the Jeep Cherokee. By expanding its OE supply to include the Sorento Hybrid, NEXEN TIRE aims to further strengthen its partnerships with global automakers in the Korean and North American markets. The company's continued focus on technological excellence and product quality has earned it recognition in the global market, according to NEXEN TIRE's CEO, John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim.
