The Nexen SB652 summer tire is suitable for most popular passenger cars. It is characterized by improved traction properties on wet surfaces, acoustic comfort, and high mileage.
The tread pattern is distinguished by a large number of gripping edges. Most of them are formed by lamellas, narrow slits that, located transversely, increase traction and braking force on wet surfaces. In turn, the unidirectional water-draining grooves effectively combat aquaplaning. The inclination of the blocks and their optimized arrangement increase the contact patch and promote a more even distribution of pressure on the road surface, enhancing grip and giving it stability when maneuvering.
Key features:
- excellent grip on wet surfaces due to the large number of block edges and lamellas;
- the unidirectionality and increased size of the water-draining grooves allow the tire to effectively counteract hydroplaning;
- the inclination of the blocks and their arrangement increase the contact patch and resistance to wear.
