The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a studdable winter tire engineered for passenger vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and SUVs that demand exceptional traction and control in harsh winter conditions. This tire delivers superior grip on ice, snow, slush, and wet winter roads while maintaining tread flexibility even in sub-freezing temperatures.

Key Features:

• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Certified: Meets stringent testing standards for severe winter weather performance, ensuring reliable traction in moderate to extreme winter conditions
• Studdable Design: Pre-molded stud pin holes accept TSMI #12 studs (where permitted by law) for enhanced grip on icy surfaces with optimized stud arrangement for consistent, even grip force and stronger braking performance
• Advanced 3D Kerf Technology: Dense siping with three-dimensional kerf patterns bite into the road surface for improved traction on snow and ice while maintaining block rigidity for responsive handling
• Directional Tread Pattern: V-shaped grooves and wide lateral channels efficiently evacuate water, slush, and melting snow from the contact patch to reduce hydroplaning risk and improve wet weather handling
• Specialized Winter Compound: Engineered rubber formulation stays flexible at low temperatures for maximum road contact and grip, optimizing performance throughout the winter season
• Enhanced Steering Response: Asymmetric tread design with reinforced shoulder blocks provides quick steering response and precise handling, even under challenging winter driving conditions
