Daniel ist etwas angekränkelt aus Ivalo zurück. Seine Driftskills konnte er nur mäßig trainieren. Podcast-Episode #116 widmet sich erneut im Schwerpunkt dem Thema Reifen: Nexen Tire hat sein neues Testcenter, das „Purple Snow Ivalo Center“ in Finnland offiziell eingeweiht. Es soll als Knotenpunkt für die F&E-Aktivitäten von Nexen rund um Winter- und Ganzjahresreifen dienen. Wir richten die Lupe außerdem auf das Qualifying zum diesjährigen Sommerreifentest der AutoBild – dieses hält Überraschungen bereit.
A 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake tire (3PMSF tire) is a tire that meets severe snow service requirements and carries the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol to indicate enhanced winter traction. At the K&M Tire Conference and Trade Show in Kansas City, that designation came up repeatedly as manufacturers discussed new products and category expansion across commercial and light truck segments.In this episode of What's Treading, Editor David Sickels and Senior Editor Christian Hinton walked the trade show floor to talk directly with tire manufacturers about 3PMSF-rated products, super regional drive tires, ultra-high-performance fitments, and new all-terrain launches shaping dealer inventory decisions.What Is a 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Tire?A 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake tire is certified for severe snow performance and is commonly found on commercial drive tires and all-terrain truck applications. At the show, Kumho Tire highlighted its KXD12 super regional drive tire with 3PMSF certification, emphasizing its role in heavy-duty truck segments. It also showed the new Kumho Road Venture RT.Yokohama also showcased its Geolandar A/T4, a 3PMSF-rated all-terrain tire designed for light truck and SUV fitments. These examples from the floor illustrate how the 3PMSF designation now spans both commercial trucking and consumer truck categories.3PMSF in Super Regional Drive TiresSuper regional drive tires serve trucks operating in regional haul applications. When paired with a 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating, they provide additional winter traction capability while maintaining durability for commercial fleets. Kumho's super regional drive tire with 3PMSF certification reflects growing demand for winter-capable commercial products.For independent tire dealers, understanding how a 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake drive tire differs from a standard drive tire is helpful when serving regional fleet customers operating in variable winter conditions.All-Terrain and Ultra-High-Performance SegmentsBeyond 3PMSF-rated products, manufacturers discussed other key categories. Nexen Tire highlighted its N'Priz S and N'Fera Sport ultra-high-performance tires. Hankook introduced Laufenn's new X Fit AT2 all-terrain tire, debuting at the event. Falken brought its highest-volume tire lines and discussed the launch of the Dunlop Sport BluResponse, alongside efforts to reinvigorate the Dunlop brand.Why 3PMSF Tires Matter for DealersA 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake tire designation influences product positioning in both commercial and light truck categories. At the K&M show, manufacturers underscored dealer relationships, responsiveness, and product alignment as key drivers of success within distributor networks.For independent tire dealers, this episode provides insight into:• How 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification applies to drive and all-terrain tires• Where super regional drive tires fit within fleet operations• How UHP and all-terrain products complement winter-capable portfolios• Which manufacturers are expanding 3PMSF-rated offerings
This video reviews two new passenger tire launches from Nexen Tire, offering a detailed Nexen N'Priz S and N'Fera Sport review while also explaining how the company is using artificial intelligence in modern tire development.Nexen N'Priz S ReviewThe Nexen N'Priz S is a grand touring all-season tire designed for modern vehicles, including electric vehicles, hybrids, and internal-combustion vehicles. Nexen identifies the N'Priz S as its first EV-compatible tire, engineered to manage higher vehicle weight, instant torque delivery, and reduced noise expectations common to electric vehicles. The tire features a wider contact patch compared to the previous generation, which helps distribute load more evenly for improved braking, stability, and wear. Nexen also incorporated variable-pitch shoulder blocks to reduce pattern noise. Plus, its 4D compound technology and 3D sipe design help maintain traction across temperature changes and light winter conditions. The N'Priz S replaces the Roadian GTX, Aria AH7, and N'Priz AH8 in Nexen's lineup. It carries an 80,000-mile treadwear warranty for ICE vehicles and a 60,000-mile warranty for EV applications.Nexen N'Fera Sport ReviewThe Nexen N'Fera Sport is a premium ultra-high-performance summer tire developed to meet European OE performance expectations. Nexen focused on high-speed stability, wet braking, and steering precision by using a stiffer shoulder design, a reinforced center block, and a new tread compound with increased silica content and updated polymer chemistry. The tire uses a four-channel longitudinal groove design to evacuate water efficiently at speed. Elements such as a jointless bead wire, high-hardness bead filler, and high-tensile steel belt help maintain stability under load. The N'Fera Sport is offered in 63 sizes and includes a 30,000-mile treadwear warranty. The tire has also received a Red Dot Design Award.How is Nexen Tire Using AI?Beyond the product reviews, the video explains how Nexen Tire is applying artificial intelligence and machine learning in tire development. Nexen engineers describe AI as a tool that analyzes large datasets from tire specifications, compounds, construction variables, simulations, and testing.Nexen maintains a global database with data from approximately 190,000 tire designs. This database allows proprietary AI systems to predict outcomes, evaluate design changes, and help engineers reach targets faster.Aaron Neumann, head of Nexen's America's Technical Center, explains that AI does not replace engineers. It does not make independent design decisions. Instead, AI supports development by accelerating analysis and improving early-stage decision-making.This Nexen N'Priz S and N'Fera Sport review provides dealers, industry professionals, and performance-focused drivers a detailed look at Nexen's latest all-season and UHP tire technology with Nexen N'Priz S and N'Fera Sport review. It also explains how AI influences tire design, testing, and future product development at Nexen Tire.
In this episode of The SAF Podcast, host Oscar Henderson sits down with Hamid, Francis and Sergio from Nexen Biosystems to explore one of the most unconventional and interesting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstocks emerging today: tequila bagasse.With what seems like every celebrity wanting to start a tequila brand. The market over recent years has boomed, creating an abundant amount of year round feedstock. Tequila production is tightly concentrated by denomination rules, so residues are steady, local, and available at favorable terms because they're a disposal headache for distillers. Agave bagasse is pre-cooked and pressed during tequila making, which can reduce pre-treatment intensity compared to raw crop waste.We dig into Nexen's strategy: 18 months of R&D at a Canadian lab to tune pre-treatment and conversion steps, followed by a Mexico-based pilot to validate logistics, contracts, and costs at scale. Along the way we talk policy reality—strong Canadian support for clean-tech research, Mexico's push to manage tequila waste and align with global SAF goals.We also discuss the challenge of raising capital in the R&D stage before building a demonstration and pilot plants. Finding investors that are comfortable with the risk profile all aspects of developing a SAF facility is crucial for Nexen as investors bring much more to the table than just capital. Sit back, grab a tequila (think of the feedstock) and listen to this episode and find out about the potential of tequila bagasse as a feedstock and how Nexen are planning on utilizing it for SAF production.
