Greetings, I was interested in a good winter tyre, so I did my research and read a lot, and took the advice of internet forum users and bought the Nexen Winterguard tyres for my winter driving. I was pleasantly surprised, and my research paid off. They hold very well on both wet and dry roads, and I have braked hard a few times on snowy surfaces and the car stopped pretty quickly. They are a very quiet tyre, which is good as I drive quite a lot and find excess noise irritating. I have driven over 20000 miles on them, and they have barely worn at all. They grip well when cornering, and even at high speeds, you always feel in control and safe on these tyres. The rubber is thick and strong, and the tread pattern extra chunky, so your car never gets stuck in the snow. For the price, they are a great tyre, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a great winter tyre.

I bought the Nexen Winterguard tyres as I wanted a high spec tyre, but didn’t want to pay top whack for it. I found this tyre as a good alternative to more expensive brands. As it’s a winter tyre, I was looking for great grip and safety, as I am a rather cautious driver. After driving nearly 8,000 miles, I see no wear at all. The tyres are like new. They perform strongly on slush and snow, and the grip is good, and I always feel in control, when I drive. On dry asphalt roads, they drive very comfortably, due to the profile and size. They provide a great deal of control and the braking performance is superb, much better than my old Michelin tyres. The drainage is also good, so there are no problems of driving on wet roads at all. The tyre performs well over a wide range of temperature too. I was worried that on sub-zero roads, it might slip a little, but I was surprisingly reassured. I have previously been disappointed by “premium-range” tyres, so all-in-all, I rate the Nexen Winterguard tyres very highly. In fact, I will look to purchase some more Nexen tyres, for summer driving, as previously I had Bridgestone Potenza tyres, but am looking to replace these shortly.

The tires cope with smooth ice really well, ABS braking is useless with these tyres! In deep snow my car is like a tank! Best tires I have ever had! I recommend!
