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.
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.
Speed indexThe speed index indicates the maximum approved speed.T (max. 190 km/h)
Load indexThe load index indicates the maximum load capacity per tyre.96 (max. 710 kg)

Would buy again
Bought on price, staying for the quality. The Winguard Ice 3 punches above its weight. Third car I've run on Nexen. Holds well in snow and slush. Slightly firmer ride than I expected.

Handles well
Bought a full set of Nexen for the family car. Comfortable ride and no drama in the rain.

Trusted Nexen quality
Does exactly what a winter tyre should. Happy with the purchase. Switched from a budget brand to the Winguard Ice 3 — the difference in braking is obvious.
