NEXEN TIRE, a leading global tire manufacturer, announced that its flagship all-season tire N’FERA Supreme S has been selected as original equipment (OE) for the Kia EV6, the brand’s award-winning electric crossover.

Tuned for electric performance and serenity
Engineered to handle the instant torque and dynamic loads characteristic of electric vehicles, the N’FERA Supreme S delivers responsive handling, long-lasting traction and energy-efficient rolling performance. The groundbreaking tire has integrated Silent Ride technology, a proprietary layer of noise-absorbing foam bonded inside the tire cavity. This innovation markedly dampens airborne vibration, cutting road and resonance noises that typically infiltrate EV cabins and elevating overall driving comfort.

Key technologies featured on the EV6-spec tire include:

• Silent Ride acoustic foam – absorbs sound waves inside the tire to create a notably quieter ride.
• 4D compound & optimized load distribution – maintain grip stability during high-speed or long-distance travel while maximizing wear life.
• Pattern-retention tread design – preserves traction characteristics even after 50% wear, extending real-world performance.
• Aerodynamic sidewall profiling – reduces air resistance to help support the EV6’s driving-range efficiency.

Strengthening ties with Kia’s electrification strategy
With this latest fitment, NEXEN TIRE now supplies OE tires for every model in Kia’s EV portfolio – from EV3 through EV9 – highlighting the company’s growing role as a trusted partner in global electrification projects.

“The Kia EV6 sets a high bar for refined, efficient electric mobility,” said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of NEXEN TIRE. “Our N’FERA Supreme S with Silent Ride technology was engineered to meet that challenge, delivering the quiet, confident road feel EV drivers expect. We will continue investing in advanced materials and acoustic solutions that push the boundaries of next-generation tire performance.”
