The N'Fera Sport is a high-performance tire designed for high-performance vehicles, providing excellent handling and braking performance even at high speeds. By applying high-strength internal materials, it evenly distributes contact pressure and load, while an optimized block design ensures stable braking force. Drainage grooves designed through digital simulation effectively expel water, delivering stable performance even on wet roads.
Since Nexen Tire began supplying OE tires to overseas automobile manufacturers for the first time in 2012, it has established itself as a tire supplier to leading global automakers, including premium brands such as the BMW Group.
This achievement is the result of continuous investment in research and development (R&D), enabling the company to develop outstanding products equipped with cutting-edge technology. Nexen Tire is applying artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies in various areas, from new product development to finished product inspection. Recently, the company became the first in the Korean industry to introduce a 'High Dynamic Driving Simulator,' accelerating virtual tire development.
In addition, the introduction of an AI-based automated product inspection system has improved inspection precision during the tire production process, enhancing quality competitiveness. A Nexen Tire representative stated, "We will continue to deliver premium products by strengthening research and development and cooperation with global automakers."
