Every surface of the N8000 tire has a significant ultra-high performance purpose. The straight center rib is responsible for excellent steering response and assuredness at accelerated speeds. The N8000’s inner tread zone channels out water for enhanced wet performance, while the outer tread zone is sturdy for excellent handling. Traction is further improved by the tire’s lateral grooves. Confident cornering is made possible by the rigid shoulder block design on all of NEXEN’S high performance tires.
