Nexen 17637NXK Winguard Winspike 3 195/55R16 91T XL Studdable Winter Tire

The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a studdable winter tire engineered for passenger vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and SUVs that demand superior cold-weather performance. This third-generation winter tire is designed to deliver confident traction and control on ice, snow, slush, and wet winter roads.

Key Features:

• Studdable Design: Molded to accept TSMI #12 studs (where permitted) for maximum grip on ice and hard-packed snow
• Directional Tread Pattern: Enhances traction, handling, and cornering performance while efficiently channeling water and slush away from the contact patch
• Dense Multi-Sipe Technology: High-density sipes bite into the road surface for enhanced grip in the most demanding winter conditions
• Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Certified: Meets industry standards for severe snow service and extreme winter weather performance
• Wide V-Shaped Grooves: Effectively evacuate water, slush, and melting snow to reduce hydroplaning risk
• Advanced Winter Compound: Flexible rubber formulation stays pliable in freezing temperatures for optimal grip
• Extra Load (XL) Rated: Reinforced construction provides higher load capacity for added versatility

The Winguard Winspike 3 features wide shoulder blocks and an optimized tread design that evenly distributes driving forces to resist irregular wear and extend tread life. With an 11/32" tread depth and T-speed rating (up to 118 mph), this tire balances winter performance with longevity. Covered by Nexen's Total Coverage Warranty including 36 months of roadside assistance.

Note: This is a dedicated winter tire and should only be used when temperatures are consistently below 45°F to prevent accelerated wear of the specialized rubber compound.
