Nexen Tire has ranked 4th out of 12 tyre brands in the passenger car segment of the 2016 JD Power Original Equipment Tire Customer Satisfaction Study, marking a considerable improvement in customer satisfaction from last year.

The study looks at tyre rid, traction, handling, wear and appearance. Company representatives pointed out that Nexen Tire increased 82 points in terms of tyre wear, compared with the 2015 study. According to the report, this factor is what customers consider to be the most important out of all the tyre satisfaction factors, which led to an improvement in customer satisfaction for the company’s products this year.
