Nexen Tire Corp. debuted its N’blue Eco, a new low rolling resistance tire that boasts a lightweight design to reduces carbon emissions and a long-lasting tread compound to give drivers more miles.
The N’blue Eco line includes summer and all-season versions, with 30 H, V and T speed rated sizes ranging from 15- to 18-inch rim diameters. The summer N’blue Eco tire improved rolling resistance by 20% and wet braking by 5% “compared to conventional items,” Nexen said.
Available now, the tire features a low rolling resistance silica tread compound and computer-designed tread blocks to prevent irregular wear and provide longer tread life. In addition, Nexen said variable pitch blocks reduce noise generation, resulting in a quiet, comfortable ride.
