Description

The Winguard Sport 2 offers excellent driving properties on wet and dry road as well as at winterly road conditions.

Outstanding handling and driving stability

Improved winter properties

Enhanced wet properties

  • More profile blocks and thereby more gripping edges for superb properties on snow and ice
  • The improved dispersion technology with nano silica particle distribution ensures excellent driving characteristics on wet road
  • 3D Sinus plates improve the traction on snow and ice, ensure block stiffness under dry conditions
  • The fine-tuned V-shaped, directional profile reduces aquaplaning
  • The fine-tuned vulcanization process ensures excellent stability on snow
  • Wide slant grooves in the shoulder blocks for increased side power transmission during snow and wetness
  • Balanced profile design for enhanced driving properties
  • Special polymers react at low temperatures and improve the driving behaviour on snow and ice

    Fair tyre for the money

    Bought on price, staying for the quality. The Winguard Sport 2 punches above its weight. Fine for the price.

    Trusted Nexen quality

    Bought a full set of Nexen for the family car. Comfortable ride and no drama in the rain. Good tyre overall. Slightly firmer ride than I expected.

    Fair tyre for the money

    Good tyre overall. Would have liked a bit more feedback through the steering.

    Impressed so far

    Brakes hard and straight, no pulling. Very reassuring.

    Better than expected

    Had them fitted last month. Wet grip is confidence-inspiring and they look the part too. Felt secure on icy morning roads.
