Korean tyre company Nexen Tire has announced that it is supplying original equipment (OE) tyres for the Kia all-new Seltos in North America and Europe. Having previously supplied the N'PRIZ S and N'FERA AU7 for the Korean market in March, the company has now extended its OE supply to North America and Europe.

Nexen says it is supplying market-optimised products tailored to the road conditions and consumer characteristics of each region. For North America, the N'PRIZ S is supplied in a 16-inch fitment in the United States and Canada.

For European markets including Germany, France, and the Netherlands, summer tyres are supplied across multiple fitments. The N'FERA Primus is fitted on 16- and 18-inch specifications, while the N'FERA Sport is fitted on 19-inch specifications. The N'FERA Primus is described a premium tyre offering high-speed stability and wet braking performance, while the N'FERA Sport is an ultra- high-performance tyre that has demonstrated its excellence in major European tyre tests, Nexen says.

Nexen says it continues to expand its global OE portfolio across a wide range of vehicle segments, including mass-market SUVs and globally recognized premium brands.

"This OE supply for the all-new Seltos goes beyond simply increasing volume — it demonstrates NEXEN TIRE's ability to deliver products tailored to the specific road conditions and consumer needs of each market," said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of NEXEN TIRE. "We will continue to strengthen partnerships with global automakers and expand our market-optimized OE supply going forward."
