2 Answers
Nexen is a Korean tire brand, originally named Wooseong and later renamed Nexen, known as NEXEN in Chinese. Here is some information about Nexen: 1. Introduction: Nexen tires are quite famous in Korea with a relatively high market share, standing alongside two other Korean tire brands, Hankook and Kumho, in a tripartite balance. 2. Categories: Nexen tires can be classified by performance into quiet and comfortable type, economical and wear-resistant type, and SUV/off-road type. The tires are made with high-quality raw materials and advanced technology to produce high-quality tires for customers.
Well, I use Nexen tires on my own car. It's an old Korean brand, established back in 1942—not particularly high-end but super affordable. As an ordinary office worker commuting daily, I find Nexen's grip quite stable in city traffic jams, and I've never experienced skidding even on rainy days. I remember comparing prices when changing tires—a set of four cost just over 2,000 yuan, more than half cheaper than premium brands like Michelin. It really saved me a lot. When recommending it to friends, I always say it offers great value for money and suits those on a budget. But I do remind them that regular maintenance is crucial. I check tire pressure and tread wear every six months to avoid sudden issues affecting driving safety. Also, Nexen has many models, like the N'Fera SU1, which is perfect for family sedans—smooth and quiet. If you often drive in the city, it's definitely worth a try. In short, Nexen is that kind of reliable and affordable old-school tire—trustworthy but don’t expect racing-level excitement from it.
