Nexen 11234NXK Winguard Winspike 3 275/50R20 113T Studdable Winter Tire

The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a high-performance studdable winter tire engineered for drivers of sedans, crossovers, and SUVs who demand reliable traction in challenging winter conditions. Designed to deliver confident performance on ice, snow, slush, and wet winter roads, this tire combines advanced technology with proven winter tire construction.

Key Features:

• Studdable design allows for installation of TSMI #12 studs (where permitted) for maximum traction on severe ice and packed snow
• Directional tread pattern with wide V-shaped grooves enhances grip, handling, and cornering performance while channeling water, slush, and melting snow away from the contact patch
• 3D kerf technology optimizes contact surface area to significantly improve performance on snow and ice
• Dense siping bites into the road surface for enhanced grip in the most demanding winter conditions
• Wide shoulder blocks increase stability during cornering and maneuvering
• Flexible winter compound remains pliable in freezing temperatures for consistent performance
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified for use in severe snow conditions

The optimized stud pin arrangement delivers consistent, even grip force with stronger braking performance on ice. The extended tread depth holds snow tightly within the grooves for better acceleration while effectively expelling water and snow. This tire should only be used when temperatures are consistently below 45°F to prevent premature wear of the winter-specific rubber compound.
