WH2 for snow grip and longevity; WH21 for exceptional quiet comfort.
Nexen's Winguard winter range covers a surprisingly wide spectrum of priorities, and the Winguard Snow G WH2 and Winguard Snow G3 WH21 illustrate just how differently two budget winter tyres can be tuned. The WH2 is a snow-focused performer built for the smallest cars on the road, with an emphasis on winter traction and outstanding predicted mileage.

They share a price-conscious philosophy, but the driver experience they offer diverges sharply once temperatures drop.
