Nexen 18417 Winguard Winspike 3 215/50R17 95T XL Studdable Winter Tire

The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a studdable winter tire engineered for drivers of sedans, crossovers, CUVs, and SUVs who demand confident traction on ice, snow, slush, and cold wet roads. Molded to accept metal stud installation, it delivers maximum grip on icy surfaces while still performing as a capable winter tire in unstudded form.

Key Features:

• Studdable design: Pre-molded stud pockets allow installation of metal studs (sold separately) for superior ice traction — studs are not included and must be installed by a qualified tire dealer
• 3D kerf technology: Advanced siping geometry optimizes contact with snow and ice surfaces for consistent grip and improved braking performance
• Directional tread design: Wide V-shaped grooves efficiently channel water, slush, and melting snow out from under the footprint, reducing hydroplaning risk
• Wide shoulder blocks: Increase road contact area, boosting cornering stability and overall handling control in winter conditions
• Cold-weather rubber compound: Remains pliable at freezing temperatures to maintain traction and reduce irregular tread wear
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified: Meets the required performance criteria for use in severe snow conditions — even without studs installed
• 36-Month Roadside Assistance: Included through Nexen's Total Coverage Warranty

As a dedicated seasonal winter tire, the Winguard Winspike 3 does not carry a mileage-based treadwear warranty, consistent with industry standards for winter and studdable tires. Note: Studded tires are regulated differently by state — always verify local regulations before stud installation.
