Nexen Winguard Ice Plus 195/65 R15 95T

In a small area of South Korea, the headquarters and production of many tech giants are concentrated. In the tyre industry, Korean brands Kumho and Hankook rule the roost. And Nexen is breathing down their backs.

In 2018, Nexen's winter footwear portfolio was expanded with a potential bestseller in the low-cost league: the Winguard Ice Plus. It contacts the roadway with a double V-shaped treadmill, along the perimeter of which wide tread blocks are dispersed. They, in turn, are pierced in various directions by three-dimensional lamellae, which contribute to the reliable adhesion of tyres.

Through the snow like clockwork

Ice and compacted snow are not a hindrance for the model. In addition, Nexen Winguard Ice Plus confidently “takes out” of loose snow. The wide shoulder blocks of the tyre increase stability during cornering and active manoeuvring. Also, a drainage system with increased throughput, consisting of numerous zigzag channels, adds points to the treasury of the pluses of the model.

Profitable investment

The design of the tyre is reinforced with a steel carcass and a metal cord breaker, and its sidewalls are protected by a lash of aramid fibers. Of the minuses of the model, they note not the best behavior on a wet road — “dry” and in the snow it shows itself much more beautifully. Despite this, the purchase of Nexen Winguard Ice Plus for the "iron horse" will be a profitable investment in a sense of confidence on the winter road and safety for passengers.
