Nexen Tire's weak product mix widens profit gap with Hankook, Kumho

Nexen Tire's operating profit declined in the April-June period compared to the same time last year, while its rivals, Hankook Tire and Kumho Tire, saw significant increases in their operating profits. This widening gap is attributed to Nexen Tire's weaker product mix, particularly its lag in shifting to higher-margin, high-inch tires. As a result, the company is falling behind its competitors in terms of profitability.
