I purchased the Nexen Winterguard tyres, after reading lots of positive reviews on the internet about them. I want to emphasize that I am the most demanding drive,r and place the utmost importance to safety because that, besides being a pilot, I'm still a father and husband. After the first test, I was immediately pleasantly surprised how I could drive at 60mph and brake and stop extremely quickly. They are an extremely quiet tyre and when it comes to grip and wear, they exceeded my expectations, markedly. In summary, I would 100% recommend this tyre and the Nexen, tyre company. They provide extremely good value for money, are any discerning motorist should buy them for winter driving

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.

These tyres have a very good reputation in the United States, as I read that the Nexen Winterguard tyres were the original equipment makers for brands KIA and Hyundai. So I thought “Why not” and went ahead and ordered them from Oponeo. When I had them fitted, I couldn’t believe how calm they were to drive on winter roads. They performed splendidly, and importantly didn’t clog up with snow, like other tyres I have used. Even when the snow was up-to my bumper, the tyres performed very well. In Summary, what I like about these tyres are: 1 Quiet running, even at high speeds. 2 Very good traction and handling on dry slush, wet and snowy roads. 3 Snow and slush quickly removed from the tyre. 4 Surprisingly short, and equal braking in all conditions, even at high speeds. 5. Great value for money – They provide an alternative to expensive tyres from the large manufacturers. I highly recommend them!
