Nexen Tire has announced that it is supplying original equipment (OE) tires for the Musso pickup truck from KG Mobility (KGM). The supplied models are the N’PRIZ RH7 and the Roadian HTX RH5, which were designed to meet the diverse on- and off-road driving needs of pickup trucks.
The Musso is designed for heavy payloads and rugged conditions. Nexen‘s tires are engineered for stability and structural integrity under repeated stress and payloads up to 700kg, ensuring reliable performance across diverse road surfaces.
The N’PRIZ RH7 is available in 18- and 20-inch sizes for larger wheels on higher trims. According to Nexen, the four wide circumferential grooves help evacuate water to reduce hydroplaning, while the optimized block design improves driving stability and balances noise and fuel efficiency. The N’PRIZ RH7 has also been used on KGM’s Rexton Sports and Rexton Sports Khan.
The Roadian HTX RH5 is supplied in 17-inch sizes for base-trim wheels. Designed for load carrying and long-distance driving, it features an optimized tread pattern for balanced ride comfort and mileage. A widened shoulder and sidewall reportedly improve heat dissipation and durability, while optimized grooves and three-dimensional structures ensure reliable performance on Korea’s terrain and in its climate.
“For pickup trucks like the Musso, tire performance is particularly important due to the payload requirements and diverse driving environments,” said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, the CEO of Nexen Tire. “By developing OE tires tailored to specific vehicle characteristics, we will continue to expand our collaborations with auto makers in the multipurpose vehicle segment, which includes pickup trucks and SUVs.”
