About the Nexen N5000 Platinum

Confident Every Day, Every Season.

Best forAn ideal year-round tire for sedan, CUV, and SUV drivers who prioritize comfort, long tread life, and dependable performance in dry, wet, and light wintry conditions.

The Nexen N5000 Platinum is an all-season passenger tire built for sedans, CUVs, and SUVs. Carrying the M+S designation, it delivers reliable traction and confident handling across dry, wet, and light winter conditions year-round. With a warranty of up to 70,000 miles depending on speed rating, it suits everyday commuters who want durability and comfort without compromise.

The N5000 Platinum uses an asymmetrical tread pattern engineered for balanced dry and wet grip while permitting flexible rotation. Four wide circumferential grooves channel water away efficiently to reduce hydroplaning risk, while large shoulder blocks contribute to stable cornering. A computer-optimized tread geometry keeps road noise and vibration low, supporting a smooth, quiet ride across varying road surfaces.

Questions about this tire

What does 255/65R18 111H mean?

255 is the tread width in millimeters, 65 means the sidewall is 65% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 111 is the load index (2,403 lbs per tire), and H is the speed rating (up to 130 mph).

What vehicles is the Nexen N5000 Platinum designed for?

The N5000 Platinum is engineered for passenger cars, crossovers, and SUVs used in everyday driving. It is available across 81 sizes spanning 16-inch to 22-inch rim diameters, making it compatible with a wide range of vehicles in those categories.

How long does the tread life warranty last on the N5000 Platinum?

The warranty length depends on the tire's speed rating. H- and V-rated sizes are backed by a 70,000-mile limited tread life warranty, while W-rated sizes carry a 55,000-mile warranty. Either way, proper maintenance and regular rotations are required to keep the warranty valid.

Can the N5000 Platinum handle snow and winter weather?

The N5000 Platinum is M+S rated and can manage light snow and wintry conditions thanks to its all-season compound, wide grooves, and siping. However, it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it is not recommended for moderate to severe winter conditions — a dedicated winter tire is the better choice for those situations.

Is the N5000 Platinum a directional tire, and can it be rotated freely?

No, the N5000 Platinum uses an asymmetrical — not directional — tread pattern. This means it can be rotated in any standard pattern across your vehicle's axles, which helps promote even wear and extend tread life.

Where are Nexen N5000 Platinum tires manufactured?

N5000 Platinum tires may be produced at Nexen's manufacturing facility in Richfield, Ohio, or at one of the company's plants in South Korea. Nexen operates production on both continents, incorporating global engineering standards across all facilities.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
