The Roadian GTX from Nexen Tire America Inc. has earned original equipment fitments on four CUVs for model year 2021.
The grand touring tire will appear on these four CUVs:
2021 Hyundai Tucson,
2021 Kia Sedona,
2021 Kia Sorento HEV, and
2021 Mitsubishi Outlander.
The Roadian GTX made its debut at the 2019 Specialty Equipment Manufacturing Association (SEMA) Show. The tire encompasses all of Nexen's latest technological advances in tire engineering, development and manufacturing and is designed to cater to the small crossover- and midsize-SUV segments. Nexen says the Roadian GTX prioritizes durability, ride comfort and affordability.
“Because of the incredible growth rate of the CUV/SUV automotive segment, we felt it was extremely important to partner with some of the leading OE brands in the market to provide our customers and theirs with a leading tire solution worthy of these premier vehicles,” said John Hagan, executive vice president of sales for Nexen Tire America, Inc. “From the moment a customer drives off the lot in their new CUV, they can remain confident knowing that the Roadian GTX will deliver superior ride quality and incredible reliability.”
Nexen Tire dealers will begin stocking the OE-specific Roadian GTX tire this month.
