Nexen Tire has been selected as the original equipment (OE) tire supplier for the 2026 Jeep Cherokee. The company will supply its Roadian GTX, which was designed for SUVs and CUVs and reportedly prioritizes a balance of braking performance, snow traction, improved mileage, ride comfort and low noise.
According to Nexen, the Roadian GTX is made with a compound engineered to maintain stable performance across a wide range of temperatures and ensure reliable braking in summer and winter, with an optimized tread pattern that enhances braking on dry and snowy roads. It also has improved mileage performance, which lengthens the replacement interval, and has adopted an optimized zigzag pattern to distribute road pressure more evenly, minimizing sudden load concentrations and providing greater driving stability.
