Prolonged presence in the domestic market of winter non-studded tire Nexen Winguard and the emergence of numerous more modern competitors have hardly affected its popularity among our motorists. This is due to the balance of all its technical characteristics, thanks to which this model has virtually no "weak points".
Directional V-shaped tread pattern
Like most modern winter tires, this tire is equipped with a tread featuring a V-shaped arrangement of elements. This solution is dictated by the desire to provide stability and stability when driving at high speeds, as well as quickness and accuracy in responding to the driver's actions. For the most part, these properties are ensured by the design of the central part of the tread. Here is a rigid arrow-shaped longitudinal rib of a continuous design, as well as numerous trapezoidal blocks, the edges of which are located at an acute angle against the direction of movement.
Stability and reliability
By using a tread with a multitude of small blocks, Korean tire manufacturers have significantly improved the performance of the drainage system. It contains many differently directed grooves. Their significant size allows the tread to perfectly handle the removal of even heavy snow masses from the contact patch, not to mention ordinary water. As a result, the tire demonstrates reliable and stable behavior in unfavorable weather conditions.
