Finishing 14th out of 19 competitors, the Nexen WinGuard Sport 2 WU7 demonstrated a mixed performance. Earning a final rating of 'Good,' this tyre showcased strong points with good traction and short braking distances on snow, along with stable handling on both wet and dry surfaces. However, drawbacks included a tendency to understeer on snow, limited tread life, and high rolling resistance. Notably, the tyre excelled in exterior noise and comfort, distinguishing itself in these areas despite the challenges experienced in other testing disciplines.
