Tyre characteristicsReinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
Rim protection stripRim protectionA raised rubber profile near the bead helps protect the rim edge from light kerb contact. It cannot prevent every type of wheel damage.
Special characteristicsMud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.Three-Peak Mountain SnowflakeThe mountain-and-snowflake symbol identifies a tyre that has passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. It is the recognised performance marking for winter conditions.

The Winguard Sport 2 offers outstanding driving properties on wet and dry road as well as at winterly road conditions.
Outstanding handling and driving stability
Enhanced winter properties
Enhanced wet properties
More profile blocks and thereby more gripping edges for superb properties on snow and ice
Special polymers react at low temperatures and improve the driving behaviour on snow and ice
The fine-tuned V-shaped, directional profile reduces aquaplaning
The fine-tuned vulcanization process guarantees superb stability on snow
Balanced profile design for improved driving properties
The improved dispersion technology with nano silica particle distribution ensures superb driving characteristics on wet road
Wide slant grooves in the shoulder blocks for increased side power transmission during snow and wetness
3D Sinus plates improve the traction on snow and ice, ensure block stiffness under dry conditions

Decent for the price
Second set of Nexen on this car. The last ones wore well, expecting the same here. Felt secure on icy morning roads.

Reliable winter rubber
Fine for the price. Slightly more road noise than I hoped on coarse asphalt. Proper grip on packed snow, no wheelspin drama.
