Nexen Tire America Inc. has added original equipment fitments for the Jeep Cherokee and Hyundai Palisade to its list of partnerships with OE manufacturers.

“As a tire supplier, we understand that being chosen as an OEM partner demands more than simply meeting industry standards,” says John Hagan, executive vice president of sales at Nexen. “It requires uncompromising dedication to research and development, rigorous testing protocols, and a deep-rooted commitment to safety and reliability. We work tirelessly to ensure every Nexen product is engineered to excel in real-world conditions while aligning perfectly with each manufacturer’s performance requirements.”

For the Jeep Cherokee, Nexen is supplying the Roadian GTX touring tire, which the tiremaker says offers long tread life, all-season traction along with a comfortable ride. The same tire is already equipped as an OE fitment on vehicles such as the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Carnival, Kia Sorento, Kia Sportage, Mitsubishi Outlander and Volkswagen Atlas.

The Hyundai Palisade is riding on the N’Fera Supreme S all-season tire. This is Nexen's first OE tire supply for Hyundai's flagship SUV. The tire is designed for high performance and premium vehicles, and offers noise-reduction technology, a 4D compound for enhanced grip and an aerodynamic sidewall design for fuel efficiency, all while offering a comfortable ride.

These OEM partnerships add to Nexen's 80-plus vehicle fitments from automakers across the globe.
