after looking trough many reviews I decided for this nexen winguard g3, and I have to say dry grip is top noch! Drove it on motorway 160kmh no problem at all, holds the road perfect never felt insecure and after I saw they cam 1st in some test for noise level I see why, they are so queit its like a summer tyre, drove it on some ice roads, holds amazing, on wet I didnt really tryed them at the speed but people say they hold road in wet very good and I belive them, snow cant say still didnt snow where I live, there is no better tyre for this price, you cant find better tyre for this money

Update: we had some winter weather this month and the tyres were very good on snow and ice as well as on wet and dry roads. I think it's a premium tyre performance for 2/3 price. Very good value for money!

Was a bit dubious of having these fitted as never used nexen tyres before but my local garage owner assured me they were a good tyre for the money and I would be happy with them. Two month down the line and 1000mls later I have to say I'm really pleased with them.
The car handles as it should plus we had a few days of snow here a couple of weeks back so they were put to the test and they didn't let me down.
Our street is really steep and always a struggle to climb in the winter time, especially when there's snow.
As I wanted to test these tyres out I purposely tried some heavy breaking, a few hill stops and starts without any problem. The car just pulled away each time as if it was normal conditions.
I can't comment on wear as only had them fitted a few months but I'm quite confident they will last me several seasons for the amount of miles I do each year.

Really impressed with these tyres, these replaced my worn Apollo winter tyres which have always been brilliant in winter time but I recon these are as good if not better, maybe it's because they are new and ample tread but only time will tell. Rubber is nice and flexible with ample sipes for that extra grip on the road.
As someone else mentioned they feel a bit soft and at higher temperatures they do feel a bit floaty at times but I think all winter tyres are the same in warmer conditions. Just make sure they are up to right pressure and you'll be fine. I would say the tread pattern is similar to the Conti Wintercontact TS860
