Moreover, the three strong tread ribs provide stability for driving with instant handling, and through transverse grooves, they achieved excellent braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces, earning them the top prize at the German IF Design Awards, one of the top three design competitions in the world.
To increase the competitiveness of its brand, NEXEN TIRE will continue to increase the supply of brand-new tires to numerous premium automakers worldwide.
