Nexen Winguard Winspike

OVERVIEW

The Nexen Winguard Winspike is a touring winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has highway terrain, light truck and commercial van sizes available as well.

The tire guarantees a safer winter weather traction. The directional tread pattern features a detailed siping design, an optimized tread block placement and wide grooves that enables the model to find good grip in winter weather, even when driving on snow or ice-covered road surfaces. The multiple wave and step sipes increase the tire’s road gripping ability to ensure a safer drive. The model can be studded for additional traction. The wide V-shaped grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire’s footprint. Due to these enhancements, the tire received the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol that those tires receive which can handle the harshest winter weather.

The special tread pattern also improves the model’s handling. The zigzag center tread block placement enhances the tire’s road contact area, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The maintained road contact ensures a quick and accurate steering response to the driver’s commands and it stabilizes the tire’s structure against the driving pressure. This ensures better controllability in all winter weather. The larger siped shoulder tread blocks increase the number of biting edges that firmly grip the road surface during cornering and maneuvering to ensure a secure performance. The extra siping detail boosts the tire’s braking ability. It creates friction at the moment of braking and shortens the braking distance significantly.

The Winguard Winspike offers a comfortable drive. The special siping detail and the optimized tread block placement enable the tire to closely follow the road surface. This decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin and ensures a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.

Not all tire sizes are suitable for all vehicle types. Please refer to the item specifications for accurate information about vehicle type fitment for this particular size.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
