Nexen Tire has secured a contract to supply original equipment tires for Audi's newly redesigned A6, extending a partnership that underscores the Korean tire maker's growing presence among Europe's premium automakers.

The company said Thursday that its N'FERA Sport ultra-high-performance tire will be fitted to the new Audi A6 in 18-inch and 19-inch sizes.

The new A6 is Audi's flagship midsized premium sedan and marks the model's first full redesign in seven years.

Nexen Tire said the vehicle demands strong high-speed stability and a quiet ride, making tire performance a key part of the overall driving experience.
