Nexen supplying N’Fera tyres to VW Jetta in US

Volkswagen of America has approved Nexen Tire’s N’Fera AU7 all-season tyre for OE fitment on the seventh generation Jetta.

While this latest Jetta model is not sold in Europe, Nexen is still an original equipment supplier to several popular models here, including the VW Golf, Seat Leon, Kia EV6, Audi A6 and Porsche Panamera.

Volkswagen’s Jetta will be fitted in the US with Nexen tyres in sizes 205/60R16 92H and 205/55R17 91H.

According to Nexen, the N’Fera AU7 is an all-season premium ultra-high-performance (UHP) tyre that delivers “excellent driving performance in various weather and road conditions with significantly improved braking power on wet surfaces and greater grip performance”.

It claims the tyre also offers a “premium driving experience” by applying enhanced design technology that reduces noise and vibration compared to existing products.
