Across the Atlantic Ocean, the Nexen CP662 passenger tire is positioned as an "all-season tire". However, considering the severity of our climate, this model should be considered as a summer tire. It is during the warm season that it will demonstrate all its advantages, of which there are quite a few. One of them is a fairly attractive price-to-quality ratio, which is largely a result of the widespread use of modern technologies.
High resistance to aquaplaning
Judging by the size and number of drainage grooves, when developing the Nexen CP662 model, the specialists of the South Korean company spent a considerable amount of time ensuring high traction properties on wet asphalt. The practical result of this time investment is an unusually developed drainage system, even by today's standards, the main components of which are four longitudinal grooves that easily cope with any amount of water due to their size.
Low noise level
As is known, one of the distinctive features of Nexen tires is a high level of acoustic comfort. This tire is no exception, as it uses almost all the latest developments in this field. For example, the grooves in the central part of the tread have a rounded profile with a reduced radius. In addition, all tread elements are arranged in a 5-step arrangement relative to each other.
Block structure of the central longitudinal rib
One of the characteristic features of this model is the structure of the central part, the main element of which is a longitudinal rib located directly in the center of the tread. It consists of a series of separate quadrangular blocks. The loss of stiffness due to the block structure was compensated by increasing the size of both the longitudinal rib itself and its constituent elements. As a result, it was possible not only to provide the tire with excellent directional stability at high speed but also to significantly improve the traction properties.
Main features of the Nexen CP662 tire
- a very attractive price-to-quality ratio, considering the widespread use of modern technologies in the design;
- excellent directional stability due to the wide longitudinal rib in the center of the tread;
- extremely low noise level, thanks to the multi-step arrangement of tread elements, as well as special noise-reducing grooves;
- four longitudinal drainage grooves provide excellent traction on wet roads due to high resistance to aquaplaning.
