    NEXEN N5000 Plus, Grand Touring All-Season Tire for Sedans, Coupes & CUVs

    The Tire That Keeps Earning Its Third Set

    The NEXEN N5000 Plus is a grand touring all-season tire that has built a loyal following among high-mileage drivers who discover, often by surprise, how much performance it delivers relative to its price. One owner put it plainly: purchasing his third set of N5000 Plus tires after logging 51,820 miles on the previous set with great handling still intact, and noting you’d be looking forever to find a better tire at this price point. That kind of repeat loyalty is the N5000 Plus’s truest endorsement.

    The N5000 Plus features an innovative design, simple in its concept, but brilliant in its function: dimples on the tread act to distribute heat evenly across the tire to prevent abnormal wear, which in turn extends the strength and life of the tire. Groove serration provides stability, and the lateral groove design offers a peaceful and comfortable ride. Together, these engineering features, heat-distributing tread dimples, serrated grooves, and a lateral noise-reduction design, produce a tire that performs at a level consistently above what its category and price suggest.

    The N5000 Plus is H, V, W, and Y speed rated, with UTQG ratings of 600 A A for H and V speed-rated sizes, and 560 A A for W and Y speed-rated sizes. This combination of high-speed ratings and strong treadwear grades makes the N5000 Plus one of the most comprehensively capable grand touring tires available for drivers of sport sedans, coupes, and performance-oriented CUVs who want a single tire that handles both daily driving and spirited performance without compromise.

    N5000 Plus Performance Highlights

    The N5000 Plus is engineered to deliver consistent performance across the full range of everyday driving conditions, with notable strength in handling stability, wet-road traction, and long tread life.

    Handling & Stability

    NEXEN added tread groove serration around the tire to deliver increased stability both in corners and during straight-line acceleration, while stiffness blocks give it the type of cornering grip expected from a high-performance all-season tire. This combination gives the N5000 Plus a quicker steering response as well. For drivers of sport coupes and performance sedans, this steering sharpness is one of the N5000 Plus’s most appreciated real-world qualities.

    Wet-Road Traction

    The N5000 Plus delivers genuinely impressive wet-road performance; flooring the throttle at a traffic light produces no traction issues or squealing, a result that surprised testers, given the tire’s price positioning. Its groove architecture channels water efficiently away from the contact patch, maintaining grip and braking performance in rain that rivals tires at higher price points.

    Comfort & Noise

    Ride and noise comfort levels are addressed through the tire’s lateral tread grooves, which help reduce noise levels and smooth out the ride. The result is a quieter, more refined highway experience than the N5000 Plus’s entry-level pricing might suggest, a consistent theme in owner feedback across thousands of real-world reviews.

    Tread Life & Heat Management

    The N5000 Plus’s most distinctive engineering feature is its tread dimple technology. Dimples on the tread act to distribute heat evenly across the tire to prevent abnormal wear, which in turn extends the strength and the life of the tire. Heat management is one of the most underappreciated factors in long-term tread life, and the N5000 Plus addresses it with a structural solution, dimples that work passively on every drive to extend the tire’s useful life and support its 65,000-mile warranty commitment. After 25,000 miles, one owner still had 7/32″ of tread remaining, well ahead of the pace needed to reach the full warranty mileage.

    Speed Ratings & UTQG

    The N5000 Plus’s availability in H, V, W, and Y speed ratings, with UTQG 600 A A for H and V sizes and 560 A A for W and Y, makes it compatible with an exceptionally broad range of vehicles, from economy sedans through high-output performance coupes and sport CUVs that require W or Y speed-rated all-season capability. The AA traction grade across all sizes confirms maximum-tier wet and dry grip performance regardless of the speed rating selected.

    Who Is the N5000 Plus Built For?

    The N5000 Plus is the right choice for drivers of sedans, coupes, and smaller CUVs who want a dependable, long-wearing grand touring all-season tire with genuine sport-oriented handling capability, without paying a premium-brand premium. As a surprise sleeper in its class, the N5000 Plus delivers everyday driving performance that drivers often don’t expect from a tire at its price point. For high-mileage commuters, sport sedan owners, and value-conscious performance drivers, it consistently delivers more than its price promises.

    N5000 Plus Warranty, NEXEN Total Coverage

    The N5000 Plus is backed by NEXEN’s Total Coverage Warranty with a 65,000-mile tread wear warranty, road hazard coverage, and 36 months of roadside assistance. The road hazard warranty provides meaningful protection for everyday drivers who encounter the potholes, debris, and road hazards that are a routine part of city and suburban driving.

It features tread dimple heat-distribution technology to reduce abnormal wear and extend tread life, groove serration for handling stability, and a lateral groove design for quiet ride comfort. It is available in H, V, W, and Y speed ratings with UTQG ratings of 600 A A (H/V) and 560 A A (W/Y), and is backed by a 65,000-mile tread wear warranty.

    What is the UTQG rating of the N5000 Plus?

    The N5000 Plus carries a UTQG of 600 A A for H and V speed-rated sizes, and 560 A A for W and Y speed-rated sizes. The AA traction grade is the highest available across all sizes, confirming strong wet and dry grip performance. The A temperature grade reflects good heat resistance at sustained highway speeds, complemented by the tire’s tread dimple technology that actively manages heat distribution during use.

    What speed ratings does the N5000 Plus come in?

    The N5000 Plus is available in H (130 mph), V (149 mph), W (168 mph), and Y (186+ mph) speed ratings, one of the broadest speed rating ranges available on a grand touring all-season tire. This makes it compatible with vehicles from standard family sedans through high-output sport coupes and performance sedans that require W or Y speed-rated all-season tires.

    What is the tread wear warranty on the N5000 Plus?

    The N5000 Plus carries a 65,000-mile tread wear warranty under NEXEN’s Total Coverage Warranty. Real-world owners have confirmed strong tread retention well into the warranty mileage range, with one buyer reporting over 51,800 miles logged while still experiencing great handling, and choosing to purchase a third consecutive set of N5000 Plus tires based on that experience.

    How does the N5000 Plus compare to the N5000 Platinum?

    Both are NEXEN grand touring all-season tires with strong mileage warranties, but they differ in key specifications.
