235/50R18 Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 Winter

Category: Winter – Studdable

The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 is a studdable winter tire, crafted to tackle the most challenging icy and snowy conditions. Built upon Nexen's pioneering winter compounds, it delivers exceptional grip, allowing drivers to traverse winter roads with confidence and precision. Its sophisticated tread design not only ensures optimal traction on frosty terrains but also accommodates studs, providing an additional layer of traction on particularly slick surfaces. With the Winguard Winspike 3, winter challenges become manageable, granting drivers the flexibility to enhance their tire's grip with studs when needed. It stands as an optimal choice for those who seek robust performance with the versatility of studded reinforcement during the coldest, slipperiest months.

3PMSF severe snow service rating indicated. Studdable option available where permitted.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 101 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 825 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating T indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 190 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • Winter tires are built for cold weather traction and carry 3PMS for severe snow service.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
  • Studdable means the tire can accept studs where legally permitted. Ontario generally restricts stud use, while Quebec permits studs seasonally.
  • 3PMS is the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, confirming the tire meets recognized severe snow traction performance standards.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
