NEXEN Winguard Winter Tires ???

NEXEN Winguard Winter Tires

If you have any experience with this winter tire your feedback / impressions would be appreciated.
Other constructive information would also be good. The Nexen website provides scant detail.

we sell quite a bit of nexen tires here but i haven't seen or heard that they made snow tires also. i really haven't ran snow tires YET so my experience is nil, but i just picked up a set of continental's that were priced right. BRING ON THE SNOW....

mixed reviews it seems...

im sure the cheap people who buy the cheap brands arent reporting much online

rule of thumb: you get what you pay for

HOWEVER, im sure theyre quite fine for commuting to/from work

I tend to agree with the "you get what you pay for" statement, especially when it comes to tires.
I was actually asking on behalf of a co-worker who spotted them advertised in the Walmart flyer. Anyway, the question is moot as they've since found a favourable price for a steel wheel / Winterforce tire package.

Personally, I wish to replace my current boots with a taller set of Michelins. I need more ground clearance than my current 175/65/14 package is providing. 185/75/14 or 185/75/14 are in my near future.
