Tyre reviews Nexen Winguard Spike. Page 4 219

Excellent quality for a reasonable price. Great load index! They handle well on the microbus, city and highway - on any surface. Perhaps only on icy roads, you need to control the lateral slip when turning at high speed. They dig well in the snowy mush and spring-fall slush. They are quiet.

Excellent tire, holds road well on ice, behaves predictably in a track, goes confidently on loose snow, in winter holds trajectory in curves without snow, entered 60% of curves at 90 km/h without any issues, satisfied with the tire. A bit noisy, although that's for enthusiasts. Have not tested aquaplaning yet, as we still don't have winter here.

Good tires, even the best ones in this price range. For heavy vehicles, they are a bit too soft, feel like they are under-inflated, very quiet, the studs do not lose their effect yet (two winters have passed). Super-balanced, 15-40 grams on 17m laydown. Good handling, don’t like ice under snow (well, everybody doesn’t like this). The main thing is not to forget that winter is not summer, don’t drive like

The vehicle's behaviour on this tyre is perfectly satisfactory. It's quiet, soft, and insensitive to the road camber, grip is good, and without any issues it comes out of an icy track camber. On a snowy road it holds well, and in a snowy passing maneuver it passes normally between lanes. On full-wheel drive, it moves well over deep snow, without getting stuck. It brakes confidently on dry surfaces and on snow, and slightly worse on ice – which is natural. Overall

I'm satisfied with the money I've spent
I've put 205.55r16 on my personal car and 225/55r17 on my work car
Quiet, soft tires. I don't see any defects
I've driven on different premium class Nexen tires and they hold up just as well
I'm satisfied with the choice
I'll buy them again for summer

Excellent tire with no flaws, I am satisfied with the noise level on asphalt, excellent snow traction and good ice performance - high-quality tread blocks that sit deep in the tread, do not slip in turns and have excellent balancing. I believe that for such money, you won't even dream of a high-quality tire like Nexen in your sleep. I use Nexen tires of different models and can say that excellent quality + moderate price.

The tires are very good for the price, but when I received them, it was impossible to check them completely. When I started to install them on the wheels, two bolts were defective, very small with a hole on the side, as if made with a stapler. I had to install them on two wheels of the cameras, otherwise, everything is super.

Operating on Kamchatka, 4wd vehicle performs well on snow and ice, normal braking, mediocre performance on dry asphalt (some sort of unclear handling), makes no noise at all (no noise in the car, not a whisper of the studs), soft, does not harden. The set of 14 cost 8600, essentially a few kopecks. So, the tire is very good at this price. It would be interesting to know how the tire behaves on the rear wheel

Driving on dry road: starts to float at a speed above 90 km/h.
Driving on snow: unsure to hold the road when a large amount of snow (over the hub) is present.
Brake efficiency: no extreme or full ice testing, otherwise normal.
Wear resistance: still a small run-in (no changes yet).
Aquaplaning resistance: strongly and at high speeds did not "float", but overall impression is normal.

We've been using this model at our company for two seasons now, and even our service jeeps are equipped with these tires. They have even withstood almost until the end of May, and all the studs are still intact. After driving our service cars and listening to the feedback from drivers about these tires, I came to the conclusion that I would also opt for these tires.

I bought three sets of winter tires with different studs from Nexen for different cars.
