NEXEN Tyre has announced that its ultra high performance tyre, the N’FERA Sport, has been selected as original equipment (OE) for the BMW iX3, reinforcing its growing presence in the electric vehicle (EV) segment.

The N’FERA Sport is designed to deliver strong performance across both dry and wet conditions, with responsive handling at high speeds. An optimised longitudinal groove enhances water drainage, while an advanced block pattern improves grip and overall driving stability.

A next-generation tread compound further strengthens braking and traction performance, while reinforced sidewalls help maintain stability during high-speed driving and cornering.

This latest OE fitment highlights NEXEN Tyre’s continued expansion across premium global automotive brands, including BMW Group. Since entering the OE market in 2012, the company has steadily broadened its partnerships with leading vehicle manufacturers worldwide.

NEXEN Tyre continues to invest in advanced research and development, including the introduction of Korea’s first high dynamic driving simulator in the tyre industry. This technology supports the development of next-generation virtual tyres.

The company has also enhanced its manufacturing competitiveness by implementing AI-based automated inspection systems, improving precision in quality control. NEXEN Tyre is continuing to integrate AI and virtual reality (VR) technologies across its product development and production processes.

“Our focus remains on delivering premium quality products through continuous innovation and strong collaboration with global automakers,” said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of NEXEN Tyre.
