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.

Nexen Reviews

Customer feedback data reveals the Nexen Classe Premiere CP671 delivers strong dry traction (scores 8-10) and responsive handling, with many praising its confident cornering and stability. Comfort receives positive marks for a smooth, quiet ride, though noise levels show occasional variability. Wet traction is generally reliable (scores 6-8), but hydroplaning resistance has mixed feedback. Winter traction raises concerns, with inconsistent scores (0-8) highlighting limitations in snow and ice. Treadwear is a notable weakness, with frequent low ratings (1-6) suggesting reduced longevity. While excelling in dry conditions and comfort, buyers should weigh its seasonal limitations and durability for year-round touring use.

...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.

...Now that the roads have cleared and dried out, I am noting that the tires are super quiet on the roadway, corner really well and have generally good stopping power... Perhaps a tad bit of softness in the sidewall during spirited cornering, but hardly noticeable on a daily driver for sure...

Bought my Honda at the Dealership noting that it had a 300hp V6 and an upgrade package known as Honda Factory Performance (which included spoiler, chassis lowering by an inch, upgrade to 19" wheels and air ----s and skirts all around).

What I didn't notice was that the tires it was equipped with were Michelin Pilot Super Sport Summer only tires. A big problem when purchasing in New England in the middle of February with a blizzard forecast for later in the week! Anyway, swapped them out for this set of Nexens in an effort to "just get through the winter" before reverting to the Michelins.

Sure enough, the blizzard materializes and the state shuts down for a day and then for the following day I had to commute my way in across 38 miles of marginally plowed roads filled with snow with layers of ice underneath. These tires and the car's front wheel drive did a sweet job of getting me back and forth! Now that the roads have cleared and dried out, I am noting that the tires are super quiet on the roadway, corner really well and have generally good stopping power.

As a frame of reference, I own a 2016 Corvette Stingray Z51 which runs the same set of Michelins and these NEXENs compare very favorably at a fraction of the cost. Perhaps a tad bit of softness in the sidewall during spirited cornering, but hardly noticeable on a daily driver for sure. Anyway, for $100 a tire, you are really getting the benefit of the bargain! Glad to have purchased these tires and although I will swap back to the Michelins for the Spring/Summer/Fall - the NEXENs are going back on after Turkey day to trot around for the following winter and beyond!

...The wet and dry traction in my opinion is second to none...

These tires came on my Kia Forte EX when I bought it new. I now have 30,000 miles on my car and though the tires have worn ok.l incredibly well evenly throughout the tire, the treadwear longevity doesn't meet my expectations. They only have about 5,000 to 10,000 miles left on the treadlife which is below my expectations for a tire. Another good thing about the tires besides the great evenly wearing thread is that I've had my car for almost 2 years and I rotate the tires every other oil change, but I've never had to balance these tires yet, and they continue to ride smoothly even at speeds exceeding 100 mph. Which I find amazing about them, but wish the snow traction was better to. The wet and dry traction in my opinion is second to none. I'm won't buy these tires again cause they don't last more than 35,000 to 40,000 miles tops, as and that's with religious rotation intervals, proper pressure kept, and no burnouts or foul play.

...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.

  • 22 positive
  • 25 negative

Winter traction ratings for the Nexen CP671 show concerning performance, with many scores between 0-4. Customers report slippery conditions, loss of traction, and being stuck in snow. While some give 7-8s, frequent mentions of poor ice handling and sketchy stability highlight unacceptable winter capability for an all-season tire.

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.

...Each winter I restrict my driving because I just don't trust these tires...

These are OEM tires that came with my car. Worse tires I have ever owned! :-( A week after driving it, I wrote to Nexen to complain about how terrible these tires were. I also talked to my dealer about getting them replaced. Nexen never responded; the dealer response was underwhelming. Each winter I restrict my driving because I just don't trust these tires. And while I hate to replace tires at 20K, I am going to do exactly that in the next couple of weeks. When you buy a new car, pay attention to the kind of tires that come on it. I didn't and will now being paying the price for being less than observant.

This tire is 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...

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.

...One of the things that I did not like about this tire is how quickly they wear out... I was also surprised at how quickly the tire wore out...

These tires cam standard on my 2011 Kia Optima. For the most part they are a good tire. Like all tires, their track significantly declines as they get older. One of the things that I did not like about this tire is how quickly they wear out. They do alright in the snow, but they are horrible when the temperature drops below 20, which is a problem given that I leave in Northern IL. When the temperature drops, the traction on these tires is practically nonexistent even with TCS. I was also surprised at how quickly the tire wore out. They are an OK tire, but I prefer to stick with name brand tires like Hankook or Michelin.
