Nexen Winguard Sport 2 SUV

Great tires! Bought them on a whim, as there were no reviews at all. Went a bit bigger, 235/60R17, original size 235/55.

The tire is quiet, holds great on asphalt, dry and wet. Slides on ice and snow, just like all other treaded tires. It behaves more like an EU winter tire than a Scandinavian one, which is why I prefer EU winters. The Scandinavian tire is much too soft and not comfortable at high speeds

Good tires. They don't make noise, don't howl. If there's a lot of dry snow or slush, you need to be careful not to skid. But from experience, any tire can skid. I'm buying them not for the first time. I put Nexen on both summer and winter. This model is particularly successful. When driving on ice, they behave calmly, smoothly. Maximally high-quality tires. I recommend.

The mileage is still small, and out of all the "charms" of a winter road, these tires have only seen the first snow so far. But for now, the impressions are only the best. I've known this tire brand for a long time, but I'm using it for the first time. In fact, I'm also trying out "studs" for the first time. Therefore, compared to my previous, lighter car with studded tires, I can say that I'm pleased with the quietness (like summer tires), the expected braking efficiency, and handling (like my old car, which I specifically tested on a free stretch of road). I chose studded tires because I was guided by the characteristics declared by the automaker. The speed indices indicated on the door pillar are not found on studded tires. I was also pleased with the price. Apparently, the seller had these tires left over from last season. Although the release date is recent (2121, I think). In general, I'm very satisfied so far. Once real winter begins, if I have the opportunity, I'll supplement my review with how they perform on deep, loose snow, as well as on ice and in ruts. I gave stars for ice, snow, and wear, of course, only because the review form won't accept the review without them. We'll be adding more.
