NEXEN TIRE Secures Fitment for Redesigned Hyundai TUCSON

Securing high-volume factory fitments ensures steady replacement tire demand and predictable inventory planning for Canadian automotive service facilities.

NEXEN TIRE has been selected to supply original equipment tires for the redesigned Hyundai TUCSON, expanding distribution to North American combustion-engine models later this year and hybrid variants in early 2027. The automaker will fit the compact crossover with 17-inch ROADIAN GTX tires alongside 18-, 19-, and 20-inch N’FERA Supreme S premium touring fitments.

For Canadian retail tire dealers, franchised dealership service directors, and aftermarket counter advisors, tracking OEM tire specifications provides essential foresight into future seasonal and wear-replacement inventory turnover. According to the tire maker, the SUV-focused ROADIAN GTX uses an all-temperature compound and zigzag groove profile to balance contact pressure and prevent vehicle pull, while the N’FERA Supreme S incorporates an AI-designed tread pattern engineered to sustain wet braking performance and cabin quietness past half-tread wear.

According to John Bosco Kim, CEO of NEXEN TIRE, expanding North American supply agreements builds on previous platform contracts for the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento. Stocking these verified OE replacement sizes allows Canadian mechanical and tire centres to satisfy consumer preferences for exact factory-spec fitments, protecting retail service counter conversions and accelerating customer bay turnaround.
