Nexen Winguard Winspike Studdable Winter Tire

The Nexen Winguard Winspike is a studdable winter tire line engineered to deliver confident, capable performance in the most demanding cold-weather driving conditions. Designed to suit a wide range of vehicles — including passenger cars, sedans, crossovers, CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks — every tire in the Winguard Winspike lineup shares the same core engineering philosophy: superior ice and snow traction, reliable wet-weather handling, and the flexibility to run studded or studless depending on your conditions.

Studdable Flexibility for Maximum Winter Control

Every Winguard Winspike tire is pre-molded to accept metal studs (where permitted by local law), allowing drivers to maximize ice grip when conditions demand it. In unstudded form, the tire carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification, confirming it meets the industry standard for severe snow service without studs installed. Add studs, and it becomes a formidable ice-driving tool for the harshest winter surfaces. Note: metal studs are not included and must be purchased and installed separately by a qualified tire dealer.

Key Features:

• Studdable construction — pre-molded stud pockets accept metal studs for maximum traction on ice and compacted snow where legally permitted
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified — meets the industry standard for severe snow service, even without studs installed
• Directional V-shaped tread pattern — channels water, slush, and melting snow away from the contact patch for strong anti-hydroplaning performance
• High-density multi-sipe design — bites into road surfaces for enhanced grip and reduced braking distances on ice and packed snow
• Reinforced sipe construction — limits excessive tread flex under torque to enhance handling stability and extend tread life
• Rigid tread block construction — maximizes handling, cornering response, and traction on icy and wintry surfaces
• 12 multi-random stud line placement — engineered to minimize stud noise for a quieter, more comfortable ride when studs are installed
• Advanced winter rubber compound — remains pliable in sub-freezing temperatures for consistent grip throughout the entire cold season
• Nexen Total Coverage Warranty — includes 36 months of roadside assistance; no tread wear mileage warranty, consistent with industry standard for dedicated winter tires

The Winguard Winspike line gives winter drivers the flexibility to run studless for everyday cold-weather commuting or install metal studs for maximum traction in severe ice and snow. Available across a wide range of rim diameters and load ratings — including select light truck configurations — the Winguard Winspike is a proven, value-driven solution for drivers who refuse to compromise when winter weather turns serious.
