Nexen stock in the UAE is mostly made in South Korea and China. Because these tyres are often bought on price, some sellers move older stock: check the DOT code and refuse anything older than 2 years, for example a code of 1124 on a tyre bought in late 2026. Nexen is a sensible budget pick for small cars and delivery fleets in Dubai and Sharjah, but for long highway runs to Abu Dhabi with a full family load, a mid-range brand is the safer choice.
