EV Root Technology FAQ
What does 'EV Root' mean?

'EV Root' is a dedicated mark awarded by NEXEN TIRE to tires that deliver optimal performance on both Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles and high-powered Electric Vehicles (EVs).
Outstanding performance is ensured across all vehicle types, including sedans, SUVs, hybrid vehicles, and EVs.

Are 'EV Root' tires applicable to both EVs and ICE vehicles?

Yes, this 'EV Root' tire is engineered not only for ICE vehicles, but also to handle the high loads and transient torque demands of EVs.

How are 'EV Root' tires different from other EV-exclusive tires?

'EV Root' tires deliver equal or better performance in EV key features such as high load response, quietness, and energy efficiency.
This means these tires are well-balanced and deliver optimal driving performance suitable for a wide range of vehicles.

What about tire noise? Are these tires still quiet, even on EVs?

EVs are quieter than ICE vehicles, which makes tire noise more noticeable.
Tires with 'EV Root' technology (available in select sizes) provide a quiet driving environment through low-noise pattern design and the Noise Reduction System (NRS), even on EVs.

Do 'EV Root' tires impact fuel or energy efficiency?

Yes, 'EV Root' products enhance energy and fuel efficiency by applying a design and compound that minimize rolling resistance.

What about the durability of 'EV Root' tires, beacause EVs are significantly heavier than other vehicles?

EVs are heavy due to their batteries.
Equipped with 'EV Root' technology, these tires offer reliable performance on EVs, with improved durability and heavy load handling ability.

Is the tire replacement cycle different between EVs and ICE vehicles?

It depends on driving style and conditions, but since EVs deliver torque instantly, tire wear could be faster than in ICE vehicles.
It is recommended to inspect your tires regularly and rotate the front and rear tires as needed.

Which types of vehicles can use tires with 'EV Root' technology?

'EV Root' is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, hybrids and EVs.
For specific applicability, please confirm the vehicle model and tire size.
