Nexen Roadian HTX2

The Nexen Roadian HTX2 is a solid choice for highway truck drivers who prioritize treadlife, with its 70,000-mile warranty surpassing the category average. This tire is designed for those who rack up high mileage and need a tire that can go the distance without frequent replacements.

In terms of performance, the Roadian HTX2 offers a wet grip score of 7, which is above the category benchmark, making it a reliable choice for wet conditions. Its handling score of 7.5 ensures stable on-road performance, though its dry grip score of 7.5 falls slightly short of the category average, which could be a consideration for those who frequently encounter dry, challenging road conditions.

When compared to competitors like the Firestone Destination LE3 and Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056, the Roadian HTX2 holds its own in treadlife but doesn't stand out in comfort or noise, both rated at 6.5. For drivers who prioritize a quieter ride, alternatives like the Firestone may be more appealing.

If a quiet and comfortable ride is your top priority, you might want to consider the Firestone Destination LE3. However, if longevity and wet grip are more important, the Roadian HTX2 could be a worthwhile investment.
