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.

Customers Say

Customer feedback data reveals strong performance for the Nexen Roadian HTX RH5 in its highway all-season role. Treadwear receives widespread praise (scores 8-10 dominate), with many noting long-lasting durability. Ride comfort earns high marks for smoothness, though a few report isolated harshness. Winter traction shows mostly positive ratings (7-8 range) for light snow, though ice performance proves less consistent. Wet traction impresses with reliable grip and hydroplaning resistance (7-10 scores), while dry traction stands out as exceptional - reviewers highlight confident cornering and responsive handling (8-10 scores). While most praise its all-season versatility, a small subset reports premature wear concerns, suggesting potential variability in treadlife experiences.

...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.

...Now that I have some miles on them, I really can't find any fault with them, they are quiet, handle the rain well, handle well when towing and wearing great (well as good as any tire wears on a dually)...

These tires came on my Ram 3500, When I saw these tires on it I was disappointed in Dodge, why couldn't they put MIchelins on these trucks like Chevy. Now that I have some miles on them, I really can't find any fault with them, they are quiet, handle the rain well, handle well when towing and wearing great (well as good as any tire wears on a dually). I will still most likely replace these when the time comes with a Michelin, but dont' be scared of these no name tires, I know they have changed my view of al noname tires!!

...Wet, snow and ice traction is adequate since I drive everyday in west Michigan with annual snowfall of around 100 inches...

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.

...Fairly decent in the snow as well, assuming you use 4x4 but gets me around through the Michigan winter. I live in an area that gets over 90 inches of snow annually so these tires are certainly tested.

The tires came stock on Ram 1500 and now have 33,500 miles with 8/32 tread remaining. Keep in mind they are only 10.5/32 tread new and I am really impressed with the durability of the tire. We tow a 4,500 lbs. camper 6 times in summer and these tires are just fine. Fairly decent in the snow as well, assuming you use 4x4 but easily gets me around through the Michigan winter. I live in an area that gets over 90 inches of snow annually so these tires are certainly tested.

...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.

I drive in heavy rain with great results, in snow, and in Ice only once, but they did a fine job...

I would like to buy American whenever possible, but these tires were original equipment on my truck, so I figured I would replace with better tires when they are worn out, but to my supersize, these are very good tires. I use these for commercial use on a Hotshot truck. I carry very heavy loads regularly, and since I am always in a rush for delivery I drive maybe a little too fast quite a bit. These tires have performed great. I have just about worn out my second set, and I am shopping for the third set now, trying to find the best deal. I got 44,000 miles out of the first set that came on the truck, with only one flat from a screw at a job site. So far the second set has 38,000 miles, and its about time to start my search again. I do rotate them quite often, and have them balanced, also I keep a close eye on tire pressure, this could be what has helped them out. I drive in heavy rain with great results, snow, and Ice only once, but they did a fine job. Sometimes I drive off road at job sites, and they do well there also, but most of my time is on the highway. I believe these are rated for 40,000 miles, and I will beat that every time. I have polished aluminum wheels on my truck, so when I do rotate them, they have to be broke down, and moved to a different rim due to the polished side needing to be outside. This has not been a issue for them ether. They are a pretty tough tire.

...Dry 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.

...Most importantly, they are remarkably quiet and comfortable... And yet they still grip well...

A surprisingly good OEM tire. And cheap too. Currently 110 bucks a tire, which is almost too good to be true, wonder what the date codes on those tires are.
Have driven my 9000# truck through heavy rain with this truck and nothing bothered these tires. Lot of tread siping, like a passenger car tire, so it has grip. The fronts are wearing predictably on the outside; lot of truck weight scrubbing those relatively small front tires. Too bad they don't put a wider tire on the front. Not like you have an easy time rotating tires on a dually with Alcoa rims anyway.

Nice looking tires, good finish on the outside, no bits of rubber or worse those sidewall dents. Most importantly, they are remarkably quiet and comfortable. My Ram 3500 diesel is almost as quiet as my Toyota Avalon at 60mph on cruise. That's amazing, and usually it's the tire whine that really adds to truck noise. Plus the rest of NVH, but these tires are quiet. Really quiet. And yet they still grip well. I'm going to guess the rears on my truck which were built in 2013 will last basically forever with the low miles I drive in retirement.

South Korea makes some fine tires. This is one of them. I've always swapped out oem tires with what is rated best on this site,usually Michelin, but decided, partly due to the hassle of dealing with six tires, to give these new to me tires a chance. Very glad I did. And very pleased that Dodge/Ram/Fiat decided to put good tires on the truck to begin with.

No experience in snow. Drove through some wet slushy roads and the truck just ran true.

...So far, they have been very comfortable, quiet and reasonably decent handling tires, within the limit of the huge size of my p/u...

this tire brand was unknown to me but the tread pattern looked well siped and with six tires to replace on a new diesel dually, I decided to leave them on, instead of swapping to Michelins, which I usually do. So far, they have been very comfortable, quiet and reasonably decent handling tires, within the limit of the huge size of my p/u. Some slight wear on outside of front tires, but I would expect that in a four ton truck that uses a relatively narrow tire.

Overall I'm quite pleased. The tires look good and have what seems to be a good all weather pattern. Have not experienced cold weather. That should happen in a day but my assumption is that this rubber compound is sufficiently high tech it won't be an issue. But unless coastal NC gets a really screwy amount of snow, I don't think winter will challenge this tread pattern. Remains to be seen though.

These come with my 2019 Ram and I'm not sure how much is tire and how much is truck but you can't ask for a better ride. There is no road noise. The truck handles great on wet or dry roads. They are wearing great and I would think with proper tire rotation and inflation, 65,000 miles should not be an issue. I will definitely be looking to purchase another set for this truck when needed. Its hard to believe how someone would give a tire a bad review because they ran over a nail and had a flat, really.

...The best attribute is they are quite which is real important to me since I pull a 5th wheel rv for long distances...

These came OEM on my 2014 RAM 3500 DW 4X4. It has been a good tire, no complaints. The best attribute is they are quite which is real important to me since I pull a 5th wheel rv for long distances. They should last at 45,000 miles but I will be replacing early because of a planned 15,000 mile trip with the rv and do not want to be at the end of life on these tires while on the trip. If one needs a less expensive option I would consider these a good choice.

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... 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...

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. 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.
