The Nexen Winguard 231 is a winter tire that features studs arranged in a special pattern. A distinctive feature of this model is its improved traction on winter roads, as well as an anti-slip system (prevents lateral skidding).
Features of the tread structure
In the central part, there is a wide rib that provides predictable car behavior even on snowy and slippery roads. At the same time, these characteristics are preserved when driving at speeds of up to 190 km/h.
The presence of four wide grooves with great depth allows for quick removal of wet snow and excess moisture from the contact area, thereby increasing the traction characteristics. This applies to a greater extent to snowy roads.
Special rubber compound composition
The rubber compound of this model includes a significant amount of natural rubber. This allows the rubber to maintain its elasticity even at very low temperatures, guaranteeing excellent traction. At the same time, the lifespan of such a tire is also increased, even under conditions of intensive operation.
Special studding
Aiming to improve the tire's traction properties on winter roads, the manufacturer has equipped it with studs that have a special systematic arrangement. This approach has not only increased the car's stability when moving on ice but also minimized wheel spin.
Low noise effect
In addition to its anti-slip properties, the tire also demonstrates a relatively low noise level, adding comfort when driving.
