Main advantages at a glance
Dependable winter traction
As a true winter tyre with the 3PMSF snowflake symbol and M+S marking, the NEXEN WI-SP2 is designed for cold conditions. It promotes calm, predictable control on chilly, damp roads and through light snow or slush — perfect for urban stop-start driving, twisting country lanes and motorway stretches in winter weather.
Reassuring wet performance (EU label C)
Wet grip class C confirms a sound safety level in rain and thaw. When salt, spray and surface water combine to challenge braking and cornering, the WI-SP2 aims to keep things steady and confidence-inspiring.
Pleasant road manners (Noise class B)
With external noise class B, the tyre helps keep rolling noise well within everyday comfort. That’s a welcome touch on longer commutes and motorway journeys when cabin refinement matters.
Balanced running costs (Fuel efficiency D)
Efficiency class D signals a sensible trade-off between winter capability and consumption. If you prioritise safety in the cold season, the WI-SP2 offers a well-judged balance at a very approachable price point.
Seasonal advice and ideal conditions
The NEXEN WI-SP2 performs best from late autumn through early spring — whenever temperatures consistently drop and you may face cold rain, frost, slush or snow. Typical use cases include:
• City streets with frequent braking and acceleration on cold, damp surfaces.
• Country lanes where grip can change quickly due to leaves, moisture or lingering snow.
• Motorways in winter weather, where stability and a composed noise level support relaxed progress.
The 3PMSF marking underscores suitability for snowy conditions, yet your driving style should always match the road and weather. Keep safe distances and moderate speeds when grip is uncertain.
Buying tips that make a difference
1) Verify the size: Check your V5C/registration or current tyres to confirm 205/40 R17 is approved.
2) Match the indices: Ensure load index 84 and speed index V meet or exceed your vehicle’s requirements.
3) Replace as a set: For stable handling, fit four winter tyres rather than mixing patterns or seasons.
4) Read the EU label: The WI-SP2 offers wet grip C, efficiency D and noise class B — choose according to your routes and priorities.
5) Fitting and care: Have the tyres professionally mounted and balanced, check pressure and tread regularly, and store summer tyres in a cool, dry, dark place.
Great value for everyday winter driving
At just €27.99 incl. VAT, the NEXEN WI-SP2 205/40 R17 is a compelling option for cost-conscious drivers who still want calm, predictable winter performance. In the PKW (passenger car) segment, it focuses on the essentials that matter most when the mercury drops.
