NEXEN TYRES REVIEWS

Nexen is a considered a mid-range brand although established before other South Korean manufacturers namely Hankook and Kumho they are still behind in terms of product quality and sales. The Nexen product quality is improving, they need to make a lot of ground to catch up to compete with the top mid range brands. One advantage they have over their competitors is that they are still far cheaper in price. This makes the Nexen a very good buy for most people. Nexen has lately increased their product range with the introduction of new tyre patterns especially in the performance range.

patterns

N3000 The N3000 and N2000 both shared a very similar design predominantly the a V tread pattern. This tyre was unlike other v designs the N3000 grooves were a lot more narrow and fine.

N2000 The N2000 was a huge success for Nexen, for a company that was relatively unknown the N2000 was a very good seller. Most probably because it looked like a Goodyear and this tread design was very popular at the time.

CP641 The CP641 was a step above the other Nexen tyres. Nexen moved on from making tyres that just look good, and created a more functional product in the CP641.

N6000 A high performance and luxury tyre designed to get maximum grip the tread design looks similar to Dunlop SP Maxx, the only difference being that the grooves are a bit longer and more curved.

N8000 The Nexen N8000, is another performance tyre by Nexen, however the design philosophy is completely different to other Nexen tyres. The N8000 features big wide grooves and three central ribs

Rodian HP Very popular 4x4 tyre mostly for luxury 4x4's comes in mostly big rim sizes and small profiles. Looks very good and is very popular with aftermarket upgrades.

Rodian AT This is an all Terrain tyre by Nexen and features a heavy crisscross design. Features a very large central block pattern, which has a crisscross grooves in it. The Rodian AT is better for road use than offroading.

Rodian HT The Nexen Rodian HT, is a road use 4x4 tyre the tread features small grooves which are normally found on winter and all season tyres. This would give the Nexen Rodian HT some traction in light snow.

AT2 The AT2 is a more capable off road then the AT tyre by Nexen so if you require a tyre that is going to be used more off road or more capable off road then the AT2 is a better choice. The tread design enables the rubber to byte the surface and hence give better traction.

SB802 Ideal for small cars the Nexen SB802 has the ideal block pattern the blocks are quite close and feature as two central ribs the maximum road contact ideal for small diameter wheels.

Nexen SB650 The SB650, is almost an all weather tyre it features a tread design that is very similar to all season tyres. The grooves are wide and blocks have smaller grooves designed to bite into surfaces ideal for light snow and winter conditions. This is not a winter tyre though and will give you only some traction in light snow.

Nexen SB702 The SB702, is Lightweight and gives better fuel consumption figures, the SB702 is a very quiet and delivers a pleasant drive.
