Nexen Winguard Sport 2

OVERVIEW

The Nexen Winguard Sport 2 is a performance and high performance, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes too.

The tread design and the winter weather compound work together to boost the winter traction. The directional tread design features a high-density 3D siping pattern and long, angled tread blocks that increase the grip on the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. These tread elements heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, ensuring a safer performing ability. The winter compound, on the other hand, keeps the tire pliable in colder temperatures by optimizing the rubber flexibility. The tread's angled lateral and zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. This combination guarantees a safer winter weather driving experience.

The tire also boosts the high speed controllability with the ideal tread design. The directional pattern and the flat footprint maintain the tire's surface contact throughout the drive. In this manner, the model upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability significantly. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The stronger internal structure helps improve the high speed durability. It works together with the directional pattern to keep the tire's ideal shape under the high speed driving pressure, enabling it to securely perform at its greatest high speed capability at all times.

The Winguard Sport 2 promotes high driving comfort levels. The tread design features a dual variable pitch sequence, which helps lower the road and tread pattern noise heard while the tires are in motion. The variable pitch sequence creates a special sound frequency that negates the road and tread pattern noise before they reach the vehicle's cabin and dampen the passengers' driving enjoyment. This results in a comfortable and quiet drive.

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.
