1. Overall tire width in mm 2. Ratio of tire height to tire width in% 3. Tire design: 'R' = radial tires (widely used), 'D' or '-' = diagonal tires (rare) 4. Required rim diameter for this tire in inches 5. Key figure for tire load capacity 6. Key figure for the permissible maximum speed (speed index) 7. Motorcycle tire identification, tires only approved for motorcycles 8. DOT labeling 9. Date of manufacture of the tire (week of production / year of production)
PR is an abbreviation of "ply rating". This label originally indicated the number of layers of cotton fishing line in the shell. A large number of bearings means a higher load capacity. When stronger materials were introduced for bearings, this term was removed from the actual number of bearings. Currently, a tire with 8 PR can only have four nylon linear bearings. Today, the stability of a controlled tire is expressed in terms of load capacity and speed capacity, and not in terms of the ply rating.
The Nexen Winguard Winspike WH62 winter tyre noticeably outperforms many previous models and most of its direct competitors in many respects. Thanks to the use of advanced technologies and the latest materials, specialists of the South Korean brand were able to equip this tyre with a number of advantages: from excellent traction on ice to a long service life.
Driving Stability & Handling - center rib block delivers fast handling and driving stability, even in severe cold weather.
Enhanced Performance in Wet/Snowy Conditions - optimized V-shaped groove delivers improved drainage and snow-expelling performance.
Snow/Ice Braking - zigzag groove raises traction on snowy and icy roads to deliver enhanced braking power.
Enhanced Ice Grip - pattern design is equipped with center block spikes to increase grip in icy conditions for greater driving stability on icy roads.
Improved Carcass Structure - newly adopted optimized carcass contour system (OCCS) offers greater robustness by minimizing tyre deformation during high speed driving.
High Tensile Steel Belts - enhanced braking function with OBCS (Optimized Best Contour System) technology for optimized grip pressure and stress dispersion.
Better Side Protection - better driving stability and greater robustness achieved with a new protector that prevents any damage to side in bumpy road conditions.
