The Nexen NFera AU7 tire is a new and improved all-season performance tire that features a wide center tread rib for sporty handling and a durable rubber for long treadlife. The tread is optimized for both grip on dry and wet roads, and long tread-life thanks to the type of rubber used in the tread and the arrangement of the tread blocks. The casing of the tire is reinforced to be more responsive to quick steering inputs as well as to resist damage from pot-holes and other road hazards.
