Nexen Tire to Supply OE Tires for Kia Sorento

Supply of All-Season ROADIAN GTX Tires

On September 28, Nexen Tire announced that it will supply its ROADIAN GTX as original equipment (OE) tires for Kia’s updated Sorento hybrid mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) model.

The updated model will newly feature the 20-inch ROADIAN GTX. Alongside the previously supplied 17-inch specification, both sizes will now be installed on the Sorento Hybrid. The 17-inch tires will be fitted to vehicles sold in Korea and North America, while the 20-inch tires will be available on models sold in Korea.

The supplied ROADIAN GTX is an all-season tire engineered specifically for the characteristics of SUVs. It delivers exceptional braking, snow traction, and treadwear warranty performance, while also offering a balanced combination of quietness and ride comfort. In addition, its zigzag-pattern design effectively disperses ground pressure and minimizes vehicle pull while driving.

The product also features a long replacement cycle, satisfying the durability and efficiency demands of hybrid SUVs. Previously, Nexen Tire’s ROADIAN GTX has been supplied as OE tires for major domestic and global brand SUV models, including Kia EV5 and EV6, Renault Filante, and Jeep Cherokee.

Building on this expanded supply, Nexen Tire plans to further strengthen its partnerships with global automakers, covering both the domestic and North American markets.

A Nexen Tire representative commented, “This expanded OE supply demonstrates that the technical excellence and quality of our products continue to gain recognition globally,” adding, “We will continue to enhance our cooperation with global automakers to further increase OE tire supply.”
