Nexen N'Priz RH7 (OE). FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Comfortable driving experience; Improved durability; . OVERVIEW: The Nexen N'Priz RH7 (OE) is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model is the original equipment tire of select vehicles.The tire promotes exceptional all weather traction. The silica-based tire compound and the symmetric tread pattern work together to improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The silica keeps the tire compound's flexibility even in winter temperatures, while the tread design firmly grips the road surface to ensure first-rate traction. The wide circumferential grooves manage to eliminate water and slush from below the tire's footprint and prevent hydroplaning to ensure safer wet weather traction. The result is a secure all weather performance.The tread design increases the tire's controllability. The tread features a continuous center rib and interlocking tread blocks that manage to keep the tire's constant road contact. The maintained contact enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the steering is faster and more accurate to the driver's instructions, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tires. The better control over the tires allows the driver to confidently drive the vehicle in all weather.The model guarantees a comfortable drive. The polyester cord casing optimizes the tire's shape and keeps the tire closely following the road surface at all times. This decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The tread design's closed shoulder pattern, on the other hand, manages to reduce the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. The closed shoulders prevent the airwaves from entering the tire's footprint and coming into contact with them. In this manner, the road noise is not generated, which ensures a quiet and enjoyable driving experience.The N'Priz RH7 (OE)'s internal structure features twin steel belts that enhance the tire's durability. They prevent deformation under the driving pressure and ensure an optimized tire shape. This allows the tire to keep its contact with the road at all times and ensure a safer performance in all conditions. 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.
