Nexen 17631 Winguard Winspike 3 205/65R16 95T Studdable Winter Tire

The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a studdable winter tire engineered for drivers of sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks who demand confident traction in the most challenging cold-weather conditions. Designed to perform on dry, wet, snow-covered, and icy roads, the Winspike 3 combines an advanced winter rubber compound with a purpose-built tread architecture to deliver sure-footed control when temperatures drop.

Key Features:

• Studdable design: Molded stud pin holes accept metal stud installation for maximum ice traction — providing grip that no studless winter tire can match (where permitted by law)
• Optimized stud pin arrangement: Consistent, even grip force distribution delivers stronger braking performance on ice and packed snow
• 3D kerf technology: Advanced siping bites into snow and ice surfaces to enhance grip and improve handling in the most demanding winter conditions
• Directional tread pattern: Increases traction, handling, and cornering performance while angled grooves evacuate water, slush, and melting snow to reduce hydroplaning risk
• Advanced winter rubber compound: Remains flexible in sub-freezing temperatures to maintain consistent contact and grip throughout the winter season
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified: Meets severe snow service requirements for confidence in moderate to severe winter conditions
• Fuel-efficient tread design: Engineered to minimize rolling resistance without sacrificing winter performance
• Sturdy tread compound: Resists irregular wear for extended tread life
