Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; High speed controllability; Comfortable performance; Nexen Winguard Sport 2 TiresThe Nexen Winguard Sport 2 is a performance and high performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire improves the winter weather performance. The directional tread design features a high-density 3D sipe placement which provides extra biting edges in order to firmly grip the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. On the other hand, the stronger winter weather compound elements optimize their flexibility in freezing, winter situations. This combination enhances the tires grip on the road surface throughout its winter weather performance. The tread designs angled lateral and zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, optimizing the wet weather performance and increasing the winter traction. The tread design and the stronger structure improve the high speed controllability. The directional treads close and constant surface contact allows the tire to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, it is able to provide a quicker and more precise steering response to the drivers commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder block placement with the siping detail boosts the cornering and maneuvering ability. This is ensured with the better grip the tire has on the road surface during maneuvering.
