Nexen Tire expands winter lineup with new model optimized for ice

Nexen Tire has broadened its winter tire selection by introducing a new model specifically engineered for icy road conditions. This innovative tire, named the Winguard ice3, was launched in South Korea, providing drivers in treacherous winter environments with an additional ice-focused option to complement their existing tire offerings. The Winguard ice3 has successfully earned the Ice Grip marking, an esteemed certification signifying its superior braking performance on icy surfaces.

The key to the Winguard ice3's superior performance lies in its specialized rubber compound, which enables the tire to retain flexibility and maintain optimal traction even in extreme low temperatures. Additionally, its wider tread profile significantly enhances ground contact, further improving its ability to navigate through hazardous winter conditions.

Nexen Tire's new tire is targeted at motorists who frequently traverse areas known for icy conditions or those who drive during low-temperature hours when roads are at higher risk of freezing. With the launch of the Winguard ice3, Nexen Tire now offers three winter tire choices: the Winguard ice3, Winguard Sport 2, and Winguard Sport 2 SUV.

The Winguard Sport 2 models are specifically designed for drivers who predominantly navigate cleared urban roads and highways, while the standard version combines versatility for a wider range of winter driving scenarios.
