Nexen 18399NXK Winguard Winspike 3 Studdable Winter Tire 175/70R14 84T

The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a studdable winter tire engineered for drivers of passenger cars, sedans, crossovers, and SUVs who demand reliable cold-weather performance. Designed to deliver sure-footed traction on ice, snow, wet, and dry winter roads, this tire combines advanced winter compound technology with an aggressive asymmetric tread pattern.

Studdable Winter Design:

The Winguard Winspike 3 is molded with pin holes that allow for optional stud installation, providing enhanced traction on ice and packed snow in regions where studs are permitted. Even without studs, the tire delivers excellent winter grip through its specialized tread design.

Key Features:

• Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified for severe winter conditions
• Asymmetric tread pattern with dense siping for enhanced grip on ice and snow
• Wide V-shaped grooves evacuate water, slush, and melting snow to resist hydroplaning
• Directional tread design improves steering responsiveness and cornering stability
• Special winter compound remains flexible in cold temperatures for consistent traction
• 11/32" tread depth for extended winter season performance
• Black sidewall (BSW) styling

Performance Benefits:

The tire's optimized tread compound and design work together to promote even wear and extend service life. The asymmetric pattern evenly distributes acceleration, braking, and cornering forces across the contact patch, while the winter-specific rubber compound minimizes treadwear rate throughout the cold season.
