About the Nexen Winguard Winspike

Serious Winter Grip, Stud-Ready and Road-Quiet

Best forLight truck and commercial van drivers who need dependable winter traction on ice and snow, with the option to stud for extreme conditions.

The Nexen Winguard Winspike is a dedicated winter tire built for drivers of light trucks and commercial vans who face serious cold-weather conditions. Featuring a V-shaped tread pattern and the option to add metal studs where local laws allow, it delivers reliable grip on ice, slush, and snow while maintaining a notably quiet and comfortable ride.

The Winguard Winspike uses a symmetrical, V-shaped tread layout engineered to channel away slush and bite into packed snow and ice. Twelve multi-random stud lines are built into the tread to minimize road noise and vibration. The tire accepts TSMI #15 studs for added bite in severe ice conditions where studded tires are permitted. It should not be run when temperatures consistently exceed 45°F, as the winter compound is optimized for cold conditions only. Nexen backs this model with a 30,000-mile treadwear warranty and 36 months of roadside assistance under its Total Coverage Warranty.

Questions about this tire

Can the Winguard Winspike be fitted with studs, and are there any restrictions?

Yes — the Winguard Winspike is engineered to accept TSMI #15 studs, which can meaningfully improve traction on hard-packed ice and severe snow. However, studded tires are regulated or prohibited in some states and municipalities, so you should verify local laws before having the tires pinned. A qualified tire shop can install the studs once legality is confirmed.

Is this tire suitable for year-round use?

No. The Winguard Winspike uses a winter-specific rubber compound that performs best in cold conditions and should be removed when temperatures are consistently above 45°F. Running it in warmer weather will accelerate tread wear and reduce performance. Plan to swap to an all-season or summer tire once winter conditions pass.

How noisy is the Winguard Winspike, especially if studded?

Nexen designed the tread with 12 multi-random stud lines specifically to break up the repetitive patterns that generate road noise, so the tire is relatively quiet for a studdable winter design. That said, adding metal studs will introduce some additional noise on bare pavement — this is normal and expected with any studded tire.

Where are Winguard Winspike tires manufactured?

Nexen produces tires at its factory in Richfield, Ohio as well as at facilities in South Korea, and the Winguard Winspike may be built at either location. Nexen has been headquartered in South Korea since its founding in 1942 and operates as a global manufacturer.

What warranty coverage comes with the Winguard Winspike?

The tire is backed by a 30,000-mile treadwear warranty. It also qualifies for Nexen's Total Coverage Warranty, which includes 36 months of roadside assistance from the date of purchase.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
