Nexen Winguard Winspike WS62

OVERVIEW

The Nexen Winguard Winspike WS62 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

The tire promotes great winter weather traction. The directional tread design's special high-density siping detail and optimal block placement work together with the winter weather compound to increase the cold temperature, ice and snow grip on the road surface. The directional pattern with the siping detail heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion, boosting the ice- and snow-covered road surface grip. The compound, on the other hand, keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures. The tire is pinned for studs, which can enhance the ice and snow gripping ability. The tread's zigzag circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. This combination ensures a safer winter weather performing ability.

The tread design upgrades the model's controllability. Even when driving on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions, the tire offers excellent steering responsiveness and driving stability. This is achieved with the tread's center rib block placement which maintains the tire's surface contact throughout its performance. This enables the tire to securely perform in versatile weather conditions as it enhances the handling. In other words, the tire becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the vehicle. This ensures the driver's full control over the vehicle throughout its performance.

The Winguard Winspike WS62 also improves its maneuvering. The tread design's shoulder tread block placement, with the detailed siping pattern, boosts the cornering ability. These blocks heighten provide additional biting edges, which grip onto the road surface, and they maintain the ideal tread shape during maneuvering, which greatly boosts the model's cornering. The tread's special zigzag circumferential groove pattern enhances the braking. These grooves, along with the siping detail, create friction between the tire and the road surface to shorten the braking distance by heightening the braking power. As a result, the tire guarantees excellent driving safety levels.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
