RICHFIELD, Ohio—Nexen Tire America Inc. has expanded its all-terrain tire lineup with the Roadian ATX.
The tire—available in 63 sizes covering 15- to 22-inch rim diameters—is made with the latest material advancements designed for wet or dry grip, Nexen said.
The Roadian ATX uses next-generation tread technology, designed to offer enhanced grip during the wear process, with sidewall lugs and deep grooves for improved handling and composure on and off-road, Nexen said.
The tire offers increased performance in the areas of durability, wet traction, snow traction and mileage, compared with Nexen's earlier ATX tires, the company said.
The tire also has a reinforced three-ply sidewall construction on most light truck sizes, giving an "industry-best all-terrain design for longer life and increased durability under heavy loads and higher tire pressures," Nexen said.
Increased sidewall rigidity also makes for better vehicle stability while cornering and under heavy-towing scenarios.
