Nexen WinGuard Sport 2 Reviews - Page 3

To be fair it was ultimately price that took me to these tires but they did have some decent reviews. They were fitted the day the snow arrived and the performance over the original fit Michelin primacy 3's was chalk and cheese but to be fair even the worst winter tires generally work in proper snow. Where these nexen's really do surprise is colder temps and the greasy roads that the british weather excels in. Temps in the UK seem to bounce from around zero one day to ten degrees above the next day so obviously winter tires tend to complain in higher temps, but again the nexen's manage to do this without the embarrassing howl of understeer that poor winters serve up. Wet braking is similarly good as well. I've used around seven types of winter tire over the years,generally branded,and where these aren't as good as Michelin Alpin 4's/5's,there not a mile off. Factor in the price difference and once I see how they wear compared to the Alpin's(they were great) I would probably buy these again.

I have just purchased a new Ford Kuga and I'm going on my annual ski holiday in a few weeks time, this is the second set of Winguard Sport I have purchased and for the life of me I don't know why people would want to spend silly money when all they need to do is a little internet revision on these tires, Last year in the Alps driving through 8" of snow and up hills and they felt brilliant and not for one moment did I thin I was going to get stuck, I don't drive aggressively but these tires deliver everything that I require, managed to get all four tires and fitting for under £500, I would buy these again every time and driving in the Alps these tires give me a sense of confidence.

Considering the size of the tires and the price of the competitors this is a very good tire. Would recommend.

Bought these 225/45R17 on my BMW 328ci e46. Its european winter tire, so don't expect much on snow and ice, expecially if you have rear wheel drive, but perfect for city and roadway. Comfortable, not noisy, good handling, low price.Drove ~5000km and i don't see any wear (;

I put these tires on my BMW E90 320d, 2 months ago, used them for 1500 Km's and I'm very pleased with my choice. For what I paid, they are very VFM tires, at least 30% less price than other brand name tires. Although I haven't tried them on snow, the handling is quite nice both on wet and dry roads. In fact, this brand makes me thinking seriously to try it's summer tires too next time. Finally, the performance of this tire on the 2017 ADAC winter tires test, was the reason I bought them and I'm quite happy for this choice of mine, so far.

I bought these tires a week ago relying on Auto Bild Winter Tire Test. Was looking for low cost tire and decided to go with these. My summer tires are Pirelli Cinturato P7 (not new version). After changing tires my first impressions are definitely silence and comfort. Huge relief after Pirelli tires. I drove 350 km on wet road last night (120-180 km/h ) and didnt have a problem at all. My only concern is understeering. Im not an expert but surely felt understeering a lot more on these tires.
