Nexen Tire OE for Renault Filante

Nexen Tire is supplying original equipment (OE) tyres for the Renault Filante, a crossover model produced by Renault Korea.

Hybrid vehicles place elevated technical demands on tyres due to the simultaneous use of an electric motor and an internal combustion engine.

Nexen Tire says its selection for this model reflects the company’s proven ability to deliver tyre solutions optimized for diverse powertrain types.

Notably, the supply covers not only vehicles sold in the Korean domestic market but also export models destined for Latin America and the Middle East.

The supplied tyre is the Roadian GTX, Nexen Tire’s all-season tyre designed for SUVs and crossover utility vehicles (CUVs), fitted in a 19-inch specification.

Engineered to deliver reliable all-season driving performance, the Roadin GTX features a zigzag tread design across a wide contact patch that distributes road pressure evenly to support stable handling.

A precision load distribution structure enhances road grip, while a low-noise-optimised block arrangement ensures the ride quietness demanded by electrified vehicles.

“We are continuously advancing our tyre technology to keep pace with the next generation of mobility, where electrification and artificial intelligence are converging,” said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of Nexen Tire.

“We will further strengthen our strategic partnerships with global automakers to solidify our presence in international markets and enhance the company’s overall value.”

Nexen Tire is exclusively distributed in Ireland through Mileage Tyres, who will be exhibiting at the 2026 Auto Trade EXPO, which takes place alongside the CV Workshop EXPO from 10th -11th October at the RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin.
