Top 3 Nexen WinGuard SUV Reviews

Given 67% while driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee (235/65 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 500 easy going miles
Hardly done any miles in the car yet as it only tends to get used in bad weather, so I can't comment on wear, but these tires already seem a lot better than the ones they replaced. The old ones had plenty of tread but were mixed front and rear which I don't like on a 4x4. Also the fronts were starting to split in between the tread blocks as they were getting on a bit.
I put these Nexen on as the price was right and they had a few good reviews, and so far they've impressed me, especially the last couple of days where we've seen a bit of frost and ice. If they carry on like this I'll definitely be using them again.
