Tire A Nexen Roadian A/T 4x4

The Nexen Roadian A/T 4x4 receives highly critical feedback, with users reporting significant issues regarding traction and ride quality. The tire is described as excessively hard, leading to poor grip in both wet and dry conditions and a harsh, uncomfortable driving experience.

Pros

Cons

  • Extremely poor wet and dry road traction
  • Harsh and uncomfortable ride quality
  • Excessively hard rubber compound
  • Lack of compliance even at lower tire pressures

Observations

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
