Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The Classe Premiere CP671 is Nexen's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for sedans, coupes and compacts. Designed for all seasons, Classe Premiere CP671 tires combine a quiet, comfortable ride with all-season traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even in light snow.

The all-season tread compound of the Classe Premiere CP671 is molded into a symmetric block design with broad shoulder blocks and a continuous center rib to promote cornering and directional stability. Four straight wide grooves channel away water to avoid hydroplaning and maximize traction on wet roads while lateral grooves and multiple sipes enhance starting and stopping capability in foul weather.

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of a polyester casing to combine strength and durability with ride comfort.

Customers Say

Customer ratings show the Nexen Classe Premiere CP671 delivers strong dry traction and responsive handling, with many scores in the 8-10 range. Comfort receives positive feedback for a smooth and quiet ride, though some note occasional road noise. Wet traction is generally reliable, but hydroplaning resistance shows mixed results. Winter traction raises concerns, with many low scores (0-4) in snow and ice conditions. Treadwear is a common pain point, with multiple reports of rapid wear and disappointing tread life. While excelling in dry performance and comfort, buyers prioritizing all-season versatility may find winter capabilities and longevity lacking.

...These H rated Nexen seem quite up to snuff in dry conditions... These 671s are quiet, smooth, and unremarkable--no glaring weaknesses--and that's what I ask of my tires. They don't squeal in fast corners, they respond quickly...

Typically I replace stock tires because most are fair to poor. These H rated Nexen seem quite up to snuff in dry conditions. These are the stock tires on my 2017 KIA Soul 1.6 auto.
Compared to the Pirelli P7s I had on my 2015 Soul 2.0, these seem at least as good in takeoff traction, cornering traction and characteristics, braking stability, quietness and smoothness on various pavements.
The P7s were easy to chirp off the line. They had a terrible wet rating, but I never had issues.
I know I lured a V8 Mustang into a drag race--well, more like he took off down Oakwood Boulevard at about 90 and eventually a Corvette found him and they did their thing. But a tire chirp for some guys means Let's Go!
These I don't get rubber on takeoff, but this car has the 1.6 with less torque than my '15, though the mill feels just as strong. I'll find out when I switch to Bridgestone Blizzak WS80s because my 2.0 Soul also got an easy chirp out of those from a standing start. That will determine if the Nexens are Traction Monsters or just that the 2.0 has more dig out of the hole than the 1.6.
When I replaced the stock Nexen 662s with Michelin Defenders on my 2013 Soul 1.6, the difference was obvious as night and day. The Defenders were much quieter, smoother, rode better, gripped better. They were a clear upgrade and to me were well worth the $$.
Nexen seems to have come a long way in four years. These 671s are quiet, smooth, and unremarkable--no glaring weaknesses--and that's what I ask of my tires. They don't squeal in fast corners, they respond quickly. They do their job.
They feel good on max braking. These seem pretty decent all-around tires. Odd that there are NO reviews
I haven't had them in the wet yet, it hasn't snowed yet.
But for everyday zipping around, these seem fine. Would I buy them as replacements? That would depend on price and test results, except nobody's posted tests of them.

...I have (so far) been unable to really break the traction with these tires other than by using too much throttle... I do not recall any panic-stops in wet conditions, but the one that I can recall on dry pavement was very impressive with minimal slipping...

These are the OE tires on my Chrysler 200--these tires are still on it at 32,000 miles (I bought the car used at 27,000 miles) and they seem to be doing well but wearing fairly fast (I would estimate about 4-5k miles left, max). There is a large section of Interstate here in Columbia, SC that is extremely loud (and pretty much intolerable with the YOKOHAMA AVID S34F tires on my Scion tC--I couldn't hear the person in the seat beside me talking) and these tires (along with the Chrysler 200C's sound deadening) block that sound considerably!

I have (so far) been unable to really break the traction with these tires other than by using too much throttle. As always, painted lines are painfully obvious and slippery, but otherwise these tires seem good for everyday driving. I do not recall any panic-stops in wet conditions, but the one that I can recall on dry pavement was very impressive with minimal slipping. As far as handling, I would put these right up there with the Yokohamas that were on my Scion.

These are the original tires on my Kia Soul + with EcoDynamics. I'd have to say these are probably the best OE tires I've ever had. They aren't the best but darn near close. They are a perfect match for this car. A good combination of dry & wet performance and relatively quite. If you don't drive like an animal, these tires will serve you well. The same could be said for pretty much any tire though probably.

...I am extremely impressed with the comfort and performance of this tire... Some reviews on the Internet are not flattering for some early NEXEN tire models, but this tire is extremely quiet as well as extremely smooth. These tires are as smooth as any set of tires I've owned on some 20 vehicles...

I've been tires for my vehicles for over 50 years and have pretty much come to the conclusion that MICHELIN is the best tire I've owned........
However, having said that, I purchased a new KIA OPTIMA that has this NEXEN tire from the factory.
I am extremely impressed with the comfort and performance of this tire. Michelin is well know for they're quiet, quality tires, but these NEXEN's have really impressed me. Some reviews on the Internet are not flattering for some early NEXEN tire models, but this specific tire is extremely quiet as well as extremely smooth. These tires are as smooth as any set of tires I've owned on some 20 vehicles.
If you want a great, comfortable tire, this is IT!

These were stock tires on my Kia when I purchased it new.
These tires have been quiet, comfortable and high performing over a variety of road surfaces and conditions. I have been average well over 30 mpg over two years with this set. They wear well and just now am I getting a little slippage when cornering. I cannot think of a better tire value for general driving.

I must warn anybody who is looking at these who may encounter snow before switching these for their winter pair, you will want these off before a New England October, they may as well be summer tires, they even have reoccuring slow air leaks in sub-zero climate...

I bought my car with these tires on it already, with moderate wear but still fully functional, and I now that I am replacing them after running through fresh accident debris and flattening them on the highway, I cannot say I am not a little relived. (Though they were surprisingly effective without any tire pressure in that instance)
I was waiting for a good excuse to get new tires because though I don't know my BMW with any other, I am positive they are holding it back because few cars preform this poorly in snow and while cornering above 40mph. I must warn anybody who is looking at these who may encounter snow before switching these for their winter pair, you will want these off before a New England October, they may as well be summer tires, they even have reoccuring slow air leaks in sub-zero climate. However, they seem to like the rain? They truly work best when the road is wet, don't know why.
Nearing the end of their lives, they got really bad, and they wore much faster than expected by any all-season tire. On the highway I started experiencing excessive road noise, tire hop with moderate fish tailing that would scare new passengers, and was just feeling the first signs of vibration. That being said, I drove these tires into the ground, so they held up pretty well for the state they were in.
Overall, these tires do not last, but will offer mediocre preformance rather consistantly, unless there is any snow on the ground whatsoever.

This tire is the worst for tire wear. I have driven several 2-3 year old cars (with Nexen tires) for the dealer that I work for and each vehicle had NO tread left after 23/24000 miles, most were completely bald. The dealer line is that they don't usually put good tires on news cars any longer.
Well I think most of know that this is not true. My other car has Kuhmo tires with 56,000 miles on them and there is still plenty of tread life left. If you read the description it will tell you that there is no treadlife warranty. Sorry Nexen, I will not consider you for replacement.

We leased the car for 3 years. It has been 2.5 years and with only 19K miles the dealership is recommending to change all 4 tires before winter. I noticed when the car was brand new the tires appeared to have deep treads. They were noisy but figured they would last. I have never had a tire ware out so quickly. My wife drives it back and forth to work. We have an occasional road trip. I'm disappointed.
