About Nexen N'blue HD 235/45 R18 94V 2024

Wet-Road Performance

The N'blue HD 235/45 R18 94V carries a B wet-grip classification, indicating a strong level of wet-road performance within the EU tyre-label system. Its road-oriented tread design is intended to maintain stable contact with wet pavement during normal summer driving.

Wet Braking

The B wet-grip rating confirms that this specification is designed to provide controlled braking performance on wet roads. The tread pattern incorporates grooves that help manage water around the contact area and support consistent wet-road contact.

Dry-Road Handling

The 235 mm section width and 45-series profile provide a relatively broad contact area and lower sidewall profile, supporting responsive steering and stable handling on dry paved roads. The tyre is designed primarily for passenger-car road use rather than severe-weather applications.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The exact 235/45 R18 94V specification has an external rolling-noise rating of 71 dB with a B noise classification. Its design balances the handling characteristics of a 45-series tyre with practical comfort for everyday road use.

Rolling Resistance

The verified EU label for this specification gives it a D rolling-resistance class. This places the tyre in a conventional efficiency category while maintaining its focus on everyday summer road performance.

Summer Road Use

The N'blue HD is a summer tyre intended for paved-road driving in warm-weather conditions. It is suitable for urban commuting, regular road travel and highway use, but it is not classified for severe snow or ice conditions.

Load Capacity

The 94 load index corresponds to a maximum rated load of 670 kg per tyre. This is a standard-load specification rather than an XL version, making it appropriate for vehicles whose manufacturer specifies 235/45 R18 94V.

V Speed Rating

The V speed rating allows a maximum rated speed of 240 km/h. The actual operating speed must always remain within the vehicle manufacturer's requirements and applicable road regulations.

Vehicle Compatibility

The Nexen N'blue HD 235/45 R18 94V is intended for passenger cars using this exact tyre size and load/speed specification. This size is also documented as an OE fitment for the Kia Soul, although it may be suitable for other vehicles when the manufacturer specifies the same dimensions and ratings.
