Nexen Winguard Ice XL Studless Winter Tire Black Sidewall

The Nexen Winguard Ice is a Nordic-type studless winter tire (also called a snow tire or ice tire). It is built for traction, braking and stability on ice, snow and cold, wet roads, and it needs no studs. It has a black sidewall, and the sidewall design takes its cues from snow and ice shapes.

Key Features:

• Nordic winter compound: a cold-weather rubber compound with high-density hydrophilic filler. It helps keep friction on wet and snowy surfaces, which supports braking and handling.
• V-shaped tread design: improves handling stability in winter conditions.
• Saw-tooth blocks and step-edge grooves: use the edge effect to increase grip on snow and ice.
• Micro sipes: give immediate winter response on cold pavement.
• 3D kerfs: add block stiffness to help shorten braking distance and improve handling.
• Maximized contact area: an optimized load-distribution pattern is designed to improve ice braking.
• Ice Grip mark: the Winguard Ice 3 earned this mark through winter performance testing.

This studless design suits drivers who want dependable winter control without studs. It is a winter-use tire, so it is best kept for cold-season driving. Each tire is sold individually.
