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.

Hello everyone, I had a similar dilemma when I was choosing tyres: What Price or Quality (the brand) should I buy? I didn’t have long to make this decision as the winter was nearly upon me, so I had to act fast. I eventually decided on the Nexen Winterguard tyres. I do not regret this choice at all. They are a solid tyre, which drive particularly well on slushy roads. The balance is great, and I feel they compare very favourably to more expensive brands too. They provide an excellent grip, even at high speeds (60mph+) on slushy roads. They are surprisingly quiet, and give great traction, especially when cornering. I have driven on a variety of roads (Mountain, Urban, Off-road) and they perform very well, and there has been no problems at all. The drainage of the tyre is good, and I would recommend the Nexen Winterguard tyres to any driver looking for a high-spec, low cost winter tyre.

Very good winter tires at a reasonable price, they work well in the snow and on muddy roads during thaw, a little worse on glaciated packed snow, but only tires with spikes cope with such a surface.

Hello everyone! Tyres with very good value for 39 GBP. I must say that the car drives slighly, and keeps perfect even on sludge, and wet leaves. I have to say for now I feel fully satisfied!

Great tyre for normal use, before them I used twice as expensive and did not notice the difference. What is more I do not drive gently.

I normally drive in the country and have used these tyres in all conditions , and can't fault them .From dry , mud , ice, hail and snow they are great . I have done about 20,000 kms with no problems at all there is still reasonable tread on the front . Would recommend to any one why would you buy anything else .
