Nexen Winguard Ice Plus 235/60R16, Winter, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; Comfortable performance; Enhanced controllability; Nexen Winguard Ice Plus TiresThe Nexen Winguard Ice Plus is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire promotes great winter weather traction. It combines the winter compound with the high-density sipe pattern of the footprint, in order to boost the performance. They firmly grip the road surface at all times, optimizing the forward motion on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. The sipes provide extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility at all times. Circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. This offers a secure wet weather application. High driving comfort levels are ensured with this model. The directional tread design maintains the surface contact at all times. The close road contact absorbs the shock of driving, decreasing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. This results in a comfortable driving experience, as road disturbances do not reach the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion. The Nexen Winguard Ice Plus increases its controllability. The directional tread's continuous center rib ensures a constant surface contact, which improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, the tire promotes a quick and precise steering response, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder block pattern provides great cornering ability with the use of extra biting edges. The directional pattern and detailed sipes decrease the braking distance on ice and snow. These elements generate friction, boosting the overall braking power. 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.
