Nexen introduces its new N Priz S tire

South Korean tire manufacturer Nexen has launched a new premium all-season tire, the N Priz S, which is currently available in just two sizes: 205/60 R16 and 215/55 R17. These tires are designed for vehicles such as the Kia Niro and Hyundai Kona, and will be fitted as original equipment on the latter.

The tread pattern features circumferential grooves engineered to channel water efficiently on wet roads, helping to prevent hydroplaning. Finally, the tire is M+S certified, making it suitable for all-season use except in severe winter conditions. It carries a load index of 92 and a speed rating of H (210 km/h).
