Nexen (Roadstone) Winguard 231

1. Adoption of new material compound for winter season
Excellent handling stability is exercised with softness and movement performances under low temperature with adoption of high grip silica compound of special new material, which shows excellent moment in snowy and icy roads even under low temperature of winter season.
2. Tread pattern design
As a high speed studless type winter tire, 'V'-pattern symmetrical aqua groove is continued to shoulder, so excellent water drainage is exercised and also traveling performance is exercised under such road conditions as icy and snowy roads, etc. Exemplary breaking force and driving force are applied to the road surface of winter season as it shows superior edge effect with adoption of multi sipe and block style pattern.
Excellent water drainage performance is exercised especially under high speed, with directional ‘V’-pattern tread design suitable for up-to-date high performance vehicle, which is unique as winter tires in Korea.
3. Sidewall design
Vehicle dignity looks better with perfect harmonization of creative pattern and beautiful sidewall designs providing high qualities, with insertion of exclusive engraving, an embodiment of snow crystal.
4. Cornering performance
Widened footprint dimensions, firm shoulder structure, and perfect cornering performance, enhanced with special design.
Stabilized cornering performance with pattern design of shoulder, which prevents sideslip.
Implementation of handling stability with optimization of round contact → more stable cornering performance is exercised in compare to that of common tires, by optimizing the dimensions and pressure distribution of footprint that adheres closely to road in cornering.
5. Stability
Securing water drainage and breaking force exceeding in the performances of the existing winter tires, with harmonizing of far deeper and wider directional grooves and zigzag pattern kerfs, high speed performance is improved under all weather conditions, especially in icy road or snowy road, etc., owing to enhanced moment under severe cold weather with adoption of new polymer.
6. Low noise performance
Low noise is realized that is more improved in compare to the existing products and envelop performance is more improved with optimal configuration and arrangement of the respect pitch of tread by computer simulation, so noise, which is a disadvantage of winter tire, is progressively reduced, accordingly traveling quietness in rugged road is also improved.
7. Superior abrasion resistance capability
Wear resistance performance is improved with adoption of heat dispersion tread compound, and performance deterioration in winter season due to wear is prevented with proper block rigidity design, accordingly making performance kept always the same.
8. Superior dry road surface traveling performance
Excellent straight traveling stability is exercised in traveling at high speed in dry road surface as well as icy and snowy roads, with directional arrow center rib design. Prices

Своих денег стоит, гребет хорошо, у меня нешипованная модель на льду чувствует себя не очень уверено. При потеплении рекомендую ездить аккуратно ибо в теплую погоду резина тает на глазах.

Придбав кілька днів тому. Їздив по Києву і в Черкаську область. Сніг, на жаль чи на щастя, в дорозі не застав, то ж головне випробування для моїх нових коліс - попереду. По сухому асфальту, звичайно,супер! Менше "ловить" ями, а ніж літня (в мене був Barum Bravuris). Однак сьогодні довелося різко загальмувати на мокрому асфальті... Машина пішла "юзом" з якимось дивним ("музикальним") звуком. Щоправда рівно, не в сторону.

Резина супер В прошлом году была Нокиан Хакапелита 2... Эта резина по интересней... На снегу ощущение что едешь на вездеходе.

Раньше была другая машина, отъездил 2 зимы на Nokian. Искал на альмеру - не нашёл. Предложили в магазине то, что было в наличии - Winguard 231. Решил попробовать на новой машине новую резину,(летняя стояла корейская Hankook), отъездил пару дней на winguard, кажется более шумная, но дорогу держит отлично, вечером на укатанном снегу не подвела. Пока доволен. Но зима ещё впереди - посмотрим.
