NEXEN TIRE, a leading tire manufacturer, has announced that it will supply original equipment (OE) tires for the upcoming Hyundai TUCSON, a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV). The tire supplier will roll out its product line initially in Korea, followed by North America and Europe. For the Korean market, NEXEN TIRE will provide the ROADIAN GTX in 17-inch versions and the N FERA Supreme S in 18-, 19- and 20-inch sizes.
In North America, the supply will commence with internal combustion engine models later this year, and later include hybrid models in the first quarter of next year, maintaining the same product lineup as in Korea. In Europe, the N FERA Primus will be made available in 17- and 18-inch sizes, while the N FERA Sport will be offered in 19- and 20-inch sizes, taking into account local driving conditions.
The ROADIAN GTX is specifically engineered for SUVs, featuring an advanced compound that provides consistent performance across a wide temperature range, ensuring reliable braking performance and ride comfort throughout the year. Its zigzag pattern design evenly distributes contact pressure, reducing tire pull during driving. Additionally, the tire boasts improved tread life, extending the replacement interval.
The N FERA Supreme S is a premium-level tire, developed with a focus on quietness and ride comfort. NEXEN TIRE utilized convolutional neural network (CNN) technology to optimize the tread pattern design, reducing road noise and limiting cabin noise even after tread wear reaches 50 percent of the wear limit. This TUCSON supply showcases NEXEN TIRE's capabilities in tailoring different products for various vehicle segments and market requirements.
The company's broad OE supply portfolio ranges from global premium automakers to volume models, accounting for a significant portion of sales in each region. Following recent OE tire supplies for the Hyundai Avante and the Kia Sorento, NEXEN TIRE is now gearing up to supply the all-new TUCSON. John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of NEXEN TIRE, remarked that the TUCSON supply allows the company to reach a broader range of drivers, as the SUV segment enjoys strong demand both in Korea and abroad.
With the supply extending beyond Korea to North America and Europe, NEXEN TIRE anticipates strengthening its brand awareness in the global market.
