Hi all! Today I bought these tires and at a tire shop I saw them up close and felt them, so to speak! The first impression was that the tires were studded in Russia, because... The spikes are planted differently, somewhere the base of the spike sticks out from the seat by 1mm, and somewhere deeper by 1mm. There are slopes of the studs; the studs in the shoulder blocks of the tread are not seated properly at all! I'm afraid that I'll have to break it in very, very, very carefully!!!! While there is no snow in Yekaterinburg, I want to bother breaking in these tires. I plan to install them in pairs only on the rear axle, where there is no load on the tires when starting to move, when turning the steering wheel, or when braking! I have a lot of experience using winter tires and have something to compare with! During the winter period I travel from approximately 20,000 km to 45,000 km. After the break-in I will add a review, good luck to everyone!!! Price The thorns are planted by hand! |
For the 2020-2021 winter season, the Korean company Nexen released the studded model Winguard Winspike 3. This rubber "with claws" belongs to the economy class, but in terms of its driving qualities, it can compete with more famous tires from major tire manufacturers.
Fast and efficient drying of the contact spot
The tire is equipped with a classic winter V-shaped tread pattern, which includes a central stiffening rib. From it, expanding drainage grooves diverge to the sides, opening in the shoulders, which allows achieving high efficiency of drying the contact patch when overcoming water obstacles or driving on snowy roads.
Steel Claws
The main elements of the design are anti-skid studs, of which there are about 190 pieces. These "claws" are placed in the holes using Star Twister technology, which ensures rapid removal of ice chips from the stud attachment points. This ensures reliable grip on icy road surfaces. The placement of studs is also aimed at stabilizing the grip properties in both the transverse and longitudinal directions. However, it is worth noting that due to the presence of studs, the tire demonstrates an increased braking distance on wet asphalt.
Massive shoulder pads
The Nexen Winguard Winspike 3 model is equipped with massive shoulders, which ensures sensitive reactions to steering commands during active maneuvering on winter roads. The disadvantages of the tire include an increased level of acoustic noise when rolling, which is a characteristic flaw for most studded winter tires.
