Nexen N5000 Plus

OVERVIEW

The Nexen N5000 Plus is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. It has some high performance sizes as well. Nexen offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The special five-rib tread pattern with the circumferential and lateral tread grooves increase the all weather traction and provide first-rate road gripping ability in dry, wet and winter weather. The tread grooves also enhance the wet weather traction and the hydroplaning resistance by eliminating water from below the tire footprint. The better road gripping and water dispersing abilities ensure a safe driving experience all year.

The tire is also effortless to handle. The boosted driving stability and steering responsiveness ensure good controllability in all weather. The internal groove serration improves the driving stability, while the tread block stiffness of the tread and shoulder area of the tire upgrade the steering responsiveness. Both are advanced with the enhanced road contact. The maintained road contact ensures that the tire is stabilized against the driving pressure and that its steering responsiveness is quick and precise. The better road gripping ability ensures a safer and more responsive controllability.

The tread pattern's shoulder tread blocks strongly grip the road during cornering and maneuvering situations. The additional biting edges they provide in all weather ensures a safe drive and easy maneuvering. The better cornering ability upgrades the model's performing capability, as it promotes maintained road contact in dry, wet and winter weather.

The tread design's lateral grooves promote a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The lateral grooves channel the soundwaves through the tire footprint and prevent them from coming into contact with the tread elements. In this way, the pattern noise is not generated and the road noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin are reduced, making the drive more enjoyable.

The N5000 Plus promotes a longer lasting, even tread wear. The tread design features heat distributing dimples that spread the built-up heat evenly across the tread area. This prevents irregular wear patterns from forming along the tread and offers an extended usability and tread life.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
