Nexen winguard...good or bad?

[Oakley]

I found a set of 4 Nexen Winguard winter tires on kijiji and they are a pretty good price. I was just wondering if any of you had any input of these tires? Are they good, decent or just plain crap? Any review of these tires would be great appreciated.

I've had these on my wife's 2007 Honda Odyssey and was able to go through last winter without any issues. Traction was good IMO. Of course the tires can only do so much and a lot has to do with driving habits etc. and it also helps that a minivan is heavier than our 3s.

They're actually pretty good. They have a bite to them and did do well in that 3/4 day of wet snow we had in Vancouver last year.

I have them for my 3, they are ok. The Canadian tire Goodyear Nordics are a better tire, but for the price you could get in on the winter tire group buy and get something better.

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up passing on these tires, but I am probably going to end up buying something else from the Simply Tire group buy.
