Top 3 Nexen Winguard Snow G WH2 Reviews

Given 80% while driving a BMW 218d Active Tourer (205/60 R16 V) on mostly motorways for 7,000 spirited miles
Very good tire for the price! The initial 5000km they were very silent, not that much now at 10000km on them! Good fuel consumption! Have been using them on dry and wet tarmac in temperatures from -20 to 5 degrees (winter in Romania), but have seen some 10cm snow and a lot of slush these days and they seem reasuring up to 110km/h.

I was using nokian wr4 before, I didn't see a big difference between them, wet braking and wet grip were not very satisfying, but snow and ice grip was good.

I've been driving on these tires for two seasons now, they're ok in the dry, but nothing much. In the wet and rain, they are barely passable. They are dangerous on snow and ice, they do not inspire confidence. They are not noisy, are comfortable, they don't wear out much. I would not buy again

Incredibly loud tires, rumbling since the first kilometer. Driving experience rather spongy but comfortably soft

Given 89% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 TDI (185/60 R14 T) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
Bought these because my Sava Eskimo S3+ needed replacement. For first winter I'm very impressed, very good grip in every condition. In comparison to Sava, they offer much more grip, especially in wet and they are much more quieter (previously on motorways I thought that irritating noise is coming from the wheel bearing or engine but after replacing tires noise was gone). I don't feel any difference in snow between Nexen and Sava but I feel much more confident driving on Nexen then Sava. Excellent tire for the money, highly recommended!!

Bought these tires in favor of the Nokian WR d3 because they were cheaper like 20 euros a pice . In the snow i was impressed , grip in the wet and dry is decent for my 210 hp 2.2 D Type S Accord . Its a solid tire , comfort is very good . I have used nexen as summer tires on my other cars and thats why i decided to give them a try on there winter tires , very happy with my purches ! I recomand theme

Having these tires for about 5 months and they didn't dissapointed at all. I've noticed the change immediately and the feeling is pretty positive. I have been surprised how well they perform on both dry and wet, considering their price range.
I was thinking of buying more expensive tires, but I'm glad I bought these ones. So far, so good.

These tires are great, finally got a bit of snow recently and got to play with them and they didn't disappoint. I drive quite hard and aggressive so I push the tires hard and in the wet I sometimes feel there struggling but never had an issue.
These tires were really well priced, are lasting well and inspire confidence in winter conditions.
