Nexen Winguard Ice Plus

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Winter weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

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

The tire promotes exceptional winter traction even without the use of studs. The directional tread design and the winter compound enhance the ice and snow traction in winter weather conditions. The directional patterns surface contact and the high-density siping placement enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the tires winter weather performance. The compound, on the other hand, maintains its rubber flexibility even in freezing temperatures. The circumferential and the angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. This optimizes the wet weather performance and guarantees high driving safety levels during the drive.

The tread design also boosts the winter weather controllability. The high-density siping placement firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges, but they also enhance the braking power on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions. The sipes create friction between the tire and the road surface in order to upgrade the braking power and shorten the tires braking distance. The directional tread designs continuous center rib maintains the surface contact during its performance. In this manner, the tire improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The model becomes faster and more precise in its response to the drivers commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model.

The Winguard Ice Plus increases the comfort levels as well. The directional tread design enables the tire to closely follow the road surface throughout its performance. This maintained road contact enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion, reducing the road vibrations felt in the vehicles cabin. This results in a comfortable driving experience.
