Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 205/55R16, Winter, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: Winter weather performance; Improved controllability; Extended tread life; Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 TiresThe Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This tire has excellent winter weather traction. It grips the road well on both ice and snow-covered surfaces. The special winter compound provides additional grip, while the asymmetric tread design, with its unique siping detail, maintains road contact on all winter roads. The tread area is pinned for studs, which will increase the model's icy road grip if added. The wide V-shaped grooves prevent hydroplaning. These grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint and protect the tire during wet situations. The asymmetric tread design offers excellent steering responsiveness and controllability. This tread design closely follows the road surface, which increases the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. On the other hand, the siping detail and the wide shoulder blocks firmly grip the road surface with additional biting edges, upgrading cornering and maneuvering. At the same time, the reinforced internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under pressure, offering a secure drive. The driver has full control over the vehicle, thanks to this tread design and rubber compound blend. The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 boosts its service life and usability. The tread design and the rubber compound work together to lengthen the tread life. This tread design evenly distributes the force of acceleration, cornering, and braking along the tread area, while the compound slows the treadwear rate down. These elements prevent irregular and premature wear formations for longer-lasting usability. 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.
