Nexen Tire expands global OE supply for Kia

Nexen Tire has expanded its global original equipment (OE) supply for Kia, supplying its N’Fera Supreme S for the Kia EV6 produced at the automaker’s manufacturing facility in Georgia, USA.

This marks an extension of Nexen Tire’s existing OE supply for EV6 models sold in Korea and other export markets since 2021, and now includes locally produced models for the North American market.

The N’Fera Supreme S is engineered to meet the demands of electric vehicles, and is already fitted to other electric Kia models such as the EV3, EV4 and EV9.

In parallel, Nexen Tire has expanded its OE supply of the Roadian HTX2, previously provided for Kia’s Tasman pick-up models exported to Latin America, to now include the Korean domestic market and the Middle East.

“This expanded OE supply reflects the deepening of our strategic partnership with Kia and reinforces our position in key global markets, including North America,” said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of Nexen Tire.

“By providing advanced tyre solutions for a wide range of vehicles – from electric cars to pickup trucks – we are demonstrating the breadth of our technological capabilities. Nexen Tire will continue to strengthen its collaborations with global automakers as we lead innovation in next-generation mobility.”
