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.

...It is full-on rainy season here in Seattle and I was slightly worried about moving from an aggressive AT tire to the street look and compound of the Motivo 365. BUT straight away they are smooth as butter and handle very well on the cold and wet roads. I can still maneuver without any slipping

Swapped out the Nitto Nomad Grapplers for the Nitto Motivo 365 a few weeks ago on my Subaru Crosstrek. It is full-on rainy season here in Seattle and I was slightly worried about moving from an aggressive AT (crossover terrain) tire to the street look and compound of the Motivo 365. BUT straight away they are smooth as butter and handle very well on the cold and wet roads. I can still maneuver without any slipping and they are much quieter than the Nomads. The ride is noticeably better.

My only grievance is that the sidewall is flush with the wheel and has no side tread. However this would be expected from this type of tire and wouldn’t serve much purpose so I understand the design. I do miss having that buffer from the Nomads and I have to keep it in mind when doing anything off the pavement. They feel softer to the touch and the tread depth is much less aggressive; probably why the ride is so quiet and smooth!
Very happy so far and they are a great quality tire, perfect for a rainy environment with the increased siping on the tread. Very smooth ride, grips the road, extremely quiet. I like them very much and would recommend them to anyone on their daily driver.

...I've already driven through heavy rain at highway speeds, and they handle really well!...

Had the Motivo 365s installed on my Volvo XC90 last week, and they perform great. I’ve already driven through heavy rain at highway speeds, and they handle really well! They’re a definite upgrade from my previous tires—which will be great for our wet and snowy winters. Despite the more aggressive tread, they’re very quiet, just as advertised! Excited to see how they perform long-term, and I'm looking forward to testing them out on the snow.

I got these installed on a particularly icy day
in Michigan. I was pleased with how well
they handled. Over the past month I've put just over a thousand miles on these tires and they have done great in all weather conditions. They are a huge improvement in performance, noise, and comfort compared
to my all-season Michelin tires. Living in
Michigan, love that these 3PMS rated.
