Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 LT275/70R18 125/122R E OVERVIEW The Winguard Winspike 3 tire from Nexen is molded to allow for stud installation that provides better traction on ice and snow. It was developed for the drivers of sedans, crossovers, and SUVs looking for sure-footed performance and traditional wintertime traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads.

Nexen Winguard Winspike SUV OVERVIEW The Nexen Winguard Winspike SUV is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some highway, light truck sizes available as well. The model offers excellent performance in winter conditions. The directional tread pattern, with the large elements, increases the tire’s grip on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. At the same time, the tread area is pinned for studs, which can help the tire have better performance in harsh winter conditions. The winter compound keeps the rubber pliable in freezing temperatures. These elements ensure the tire’s perfect winter performance. Also, the optimized grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint. They resist hydroplaning and guarantee a safe driving experience. The directional tread pattern and the rubber compound improve the tire’s controllability. The large tread elements firmly grip the surface with extra biting edges, boosting the tire’s contact with the driving surface. The ideal tread design and its close road contact upgrade steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire’s steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Exceptional cornering and maneuvering are upgraded too. This combination enables the driver to have full control over the vehicle at all times. The Nexen Winguard Winspike SUV provides a quiet and comfortable performance. The ideal tread design and its close road contact lower road and tread noise levels are heard in the vehicle’s cabin. The tread elements channel airwaves through the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements. As a result, the tire does not generate noise. This tread allows the passengers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable driving experience. Not all tire sizes are suitable for all vehicle types. Please refer to the item specifications for accurate information about vehicle type fitment for this particular size. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.

Nika Avatar OVERVIEW The Nika Avatar is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. The tire upgrades the all weather traction. The all season compound and asymmetric tread design improve the dry, wet and winter weather grip. The all season compound keeps the rubber flexibility in different weather situations, upgrading the summer and winter weather performance. The tread design with the siping pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges, increasing the year round traction. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, resulting in a secure wet weather drive. The tread design and the stronger compound to improve the high speed controllability. The maintained surface contact of the asymmetric tread design increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The siping pattern across the tread area upgrades the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. These sipes generate friction at the moment of braking, significantly shortening the braking distance. The heat-resistant compound and the stronger internal structure work together to upgrade the high speed durability. As a result, the tire greatly upgrades the high speed performing safety. The Avatar enhances the comfort levels while the tires are in motion. The tread design features multiple pitch variations across the footprint, which generate a sound-cancelling frequency. This frequency cancels the sound waves during the performance, preventing them from reaching the vehicle’s cabin. As road disturbances are not felt by the passengers, the tire promotes a quiet driving experience. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
