Nexen Tire deepens ties with Kia

Nexen Tire is strengthening ties with Kia by diversifying its supply lineup for the carmaker’s electric vehicles (EVs) as well as SUVs powered by internal combustion engines, the Korean tire company said Monday. The latest partnership enables Nexen to supply its N’FERA Supreme S premium tires to Kia’s EV6 electric SUV manufactured at its Georgia factory, a move expected to widen the tire maker’s sales portfolio for vehicles in North America. The N’FERA Supreme S is engineered to meet consumer demand for quiet and smooth rides. The model balances stable driving and low rolling resistance, making it well-suited for EVs. Nexen Tire provides tires for Kia’s full EV lineup, which also includes the EV9, showing off the tire firm's involvement in EV technology and production, according to Nexen. Nexen Tire has also expanded its Roadian HTX2 tire supply channels for Kia’s Tasman pickup trucks, which are bound for not only Korea, but also Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The model is optimized for SUVs and pickup trucks, focusing on versatility in on-road and off-road driving.
