Nexen 11229 Winguard Winspike 3 235/60R17 102T Studdable Winter Tire

The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a studdable winter tire molded to allow for stud installation that provides better traction on ice and snow, developed for drivers of sedans, crossovers, and SUVs looking for sure-footed performance and traditional wintertime traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads. This tire is Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified, meaning it is suitable for severe winter road conditions.

Advanced Winter Performance Features:

• 3D Kerf Technology ensures that the control block remains in constant contact with the road, enhancing handling on snow and ice
• Advanced stud pin design keeps the area around the stud pin free of ice and snow, optimizing grip and control, resulting in improved braking capabilities in challenging winter conditions
• Directional tread pattern for increased grip and boosted handling and cornering performance
• Angled grooves funnel water, slush, and melting snow out of the tread to decrease the risk of hydroplaning, with dense siping that bites into the road for enhanced grip

The tire features an expanded contact surface with a stretched edge that increases the tire-to-road contact area for better control, acceleration, and braking while preventing tread distortion to ensure consistent road contact. As a winter tire, the Winguard Winspike 3 utilizes a flexible rubber compound designed for temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
