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 Classe Premiere CP671 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.

...Excellent wet weather performance as well, not sure why there are so many negative reviews especially since the price of the tire is very reasonable.

This is the second time we have purchased these replacement tires for our 2013 Chevy Volt. Our previous, more expensive Goodyear tires frequently went flat due to stickiness of tires/picking up nails and other road debris. However, these Nexen tires have never gone flat as they are the right combination of tread, treadwear and grip on the road. At high speeds these tires have a smooth ride and handle very well at corners. Excellent wet weather performance as well, not sure why there are so many negative reviews especially since the price of the tire is very reasonable.

...A good combination of dry & wet performance and relatively quite...

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.

...These H rated Nexen seem quite up to snuff in dry conditions. 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...

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.

...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.

The tires are noticeably quieter than the Contis, and the comfort is much improved...

The Continentals on my 2010 Prius were getting awfully loud and drove harshly, so I decided to look at replacements. Michelens seemed too pricey. And I didn't want to get Bridgestone Ecopias (OEM tires) again, as they wore out so quickly.

I had never considered Nexen tires before, but my Kia Soul EV came with them, and they seemed nice. On Nexen's website, the CP671 had a "9" rating for fuel efficiency (out of 10), and I liked their description of several features to help quiet road noise. I wanted something more forgiving, softer and quieter than the Contis, but didn't want to go back to the Bridgestone Ecopias. The Nexens have a slightly higher treadwear rating than the Ecopias (400AA vs. 380BB) and were cheaper. Plus, they are OEM for several fine Kia cars, so I bought them.

I've driven one long highway trip (NC to MA and back), and commuted to work (10 miles each way) with them. The tires are noticeably quieter than the Contis, and the comfort is much improved. Can't speak much on handling, as that isn't really the Prius' strength (at least not the 2010). Fuel economy is great - same as before - with 47 around town, and low-to-mid-50s on long highway drives. So I'm happy.

...I am extremely impressed with the comfort and performance of this tire... 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!

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!

47 reviews mention "Winter Traction"

  • 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.

63 reviews mention "Treadwear"

  • 32 positive
  • 31 negative

While some customers give high scores (9s-10s), many report disappointing tread life with ratings between 0-6. Common complaints include premature wear, needing replacement early, and lower-than-expected mileage for a touring all-season tire.
