The Roadian HTX RH5 is Nexen's Highway All-Season light truck tire developed for light-duty vans, trucks and pickups for drivers who want a combination of pleasant on-road characteristics, long wear and all-season versatility, including all-season traction in light snow.

Roadian HTX RH5 tires feature an all-season tread compound molded into a symmetric design with wide shoulders and independent tread blocks. Circumferential grooves resist hydroplaning on wet roads while lateral grooves aid starting and stopping traction. Zig-Zag Sipes increase sipe density and enhance braking performance in wet and wintry conditions.

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by two layers of nylon for strength and durability while a 2-ply polyester casing promotes ride comfort.

...Wet traction is great, even with a DRW...

Like someone else said, I really wanted to hate these tires. I'd hoped they would wear quickly for a quick replacement with something better. 30k miles and three rotations later, they still look mostly new. I still have so much tread left. Ram has never had great OEM tires, typically by this this mileage I have four new tires.

I pull a 17,000 lb 5th wheel on the weekends, use them for commuting during the week. We've driven up things pulling weight I was convinced we would have to winch out of. These tires just keep impressing me. Highway in all weather is great. Wet traction is great, even with a DRW. Light snow isn't an issue (We don't get heavy). Ice is ice.

My Steer axle weighs in right at 5,600 lbs which I expected to cause a lot of extra wear. Nothing, even rotating doesn't seem as needed as it has on past tires (Though I still am). If you can't tell, I'm just blown away! Add how cheap these things are to replace and it's a non-issue, I'll buy the same thing to replace them when the time comes. I'm considering trying the AT version.

...Dry, wet and off-road traction is excellent. Great stability when towing my 5th wheel and responsiveness is sharp.

Keep wanting to hate these tires but I can't. They came stock on my RAM and so far have been much better than expected. It may be the noise deadening in the truck but the tires are very quiet on virtually all road surfaces. Dry, wet and off-road traction is excellent. Great stability when towing my 5th wheel and responsiveness is sharp. Haven't had a chance to test in snow but recently got caught in 5 inch deep mud while towing and the tires had enough cutting power in 4wd to pull me out. Will have to see how tread life works out but so far the tread seems to be wearing very evenly. Can't say I'd buy them again but if they continue to perform as well as they have, I just might.

...Dry traction and road noise/comfort are the top traits of this tire and it still does a decent job in the rain and snow...

OEM on 5th gen RAM, and never heard of Nexen before this but I am quite impressed with the tire so far. Still decent tread depth of 7/32 at 38,000 miles (10.5/32 brand new). Dry traction and road noise/comfort are the top traits of this tire and it still does a decent job in the rain and snow. Another plus of this tire is even though it is a SL 113 index tire it has a max psi of 51 when most SL tires are 44 max psi. I would imagine this is better if you tow and do not want an XL tire that usually ride a little rougher.

...Very smooth and quiet ride. Road hugging handling with excellent road feel and stability...

Fairly Aggressive and good looking tread pattern for all road conditions. Very smooth and quiet ride. Too early to judge performance in snow and ice, but based on other reviews I've seen, I expect them them to be very good. Road hugging handling with excellent road feel and stability. Balance was quick and easy at the shop.

...Low road noise and comfort are the two strongest attributes of this tire...

Tires are OEM on Ram 1500 and still have 7/32 tread at 35,000 miles (10.5/32 brand new). I would label them better than average and consider the tire to be a decent all season tire. Low road noise and comfort are the two strongest attributes of this tire. Wet, snow and ice traction is adequate since I drive everyday in west Michigan with annual snowfall of around 100 inches. The tread has held up better than I had expected with a factory tire. They should go at least 50,000 - 55,000 miles as is.

After 54,500 mile on my welding truck up and down crap roads and all over Texas/new Mexico area these tires still are not wore to the wear bars and still are decent tires. They have taken the abuse from sharp rocks and large pot holes, with stood thorns and left debris from right a way clearings, driven through mud, sand and tons of dirt. Yes they do show small cracks and rock chips but overall they have really lasted...

They have taken the abuse from sharp rocks and large pot holes, with stood thorns and left debris from right a way clearings, driven through mud, sand and tons of dirt. Yes they do show small cracks and rock chips but overall they have really lasted. I believe they still have some life to them but I'm picky and around 55k I like getting new ones just to be safe. I wish I could post pictures. My truck weights 13,682 lbs and towed a camper and a few trailers for work.
