Nexen Tire has secured new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnership with the Jeep Cherokee and the Hyundai Palisade.
“As a tire supplier, we understand that being chosen as an OEM partner demands more than simply meeting industry standards,” said John Hagan, Executive Vice President of Sales at Nexen Tire. “It requires uncompromising dedication to research and development, rigorous testing protocols, and a deep-rooted commitment to safety and reliability.”
Nexen Tire OEM Partnership Expands OE Presence with Touring and All-Season Tires
For the Jeep Cherokee, Nexen supplies the Roadian GTX. That’s a touring tire known for its long tread life, all-season traction, and smooth ride quality. The Roadian GTX also serves as OE fitment for several other manufacturers, including Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen.
Hyundai’s flagship SUV, the Palisade, now comes equipped with Nexen’s N’FERA Supreme S. This all-season tire uses a 4D compound for grip, AI-enhanced noise reduction, and an aerodynamic sidewall design to improve fuel efficiency. This marks Nexen’s first OE supply for the Palisade.
Global OEM Program Continues to Grow
Global automakers now use Nexen tires on over 80 vehicle models. The brand’s OEM clients include Audi, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Volkswagen, Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Hyundai, and Jeep.
Driven by robust research and development, eco-friendly manufacturing, and a versatile product range, Nexen’s OEM program continues to expand. Its focus remains on delivering tires that meet or exceed performance standards, contributing to the future of mobility for automakers and drivers worldwide.
