The Nexen Winguard Spike 3 winter passenger tire, released in 2020, belongs to the economy class and is designed for installation on medium and budget class vehicles. Nevertheless, the model is characterized by stable operating properties in various temperature modes, confident handling, and a long service life.
The basis of the tread is a symmetrical V-shaped arrangement of blocks, between which there are deep grooves that open outward in the shoulder area. This allows for instant drainage of the contact patch. This is especially relevant when driving on wet and snowy roads.
To ensure stable driving characteristics in the winter period, the developers equipped the tread with a network of spikes. Moreover, the latter are arranged in such a way as to work with maximum efficiency.
The compound, which is based on silica, plays a significant role in preserving the operating properties. This component allows the rubber to retain its elasticity in various temperature modes. Additionally, it protects against abrasive wear, increasing the service life.
To maintain the level of comfort, a noise and vibration reduction system is provided. Even when moving on uneven roads, you will not experience discomfort.
