Gislaved IceControl

Good time of day. I didn't even manage to drive to the Republic of Belarus, the studs were falling out like baby teeth in a child, and there was so much admiration in the reviews of various professionals, to say that I'm upset is to say nothing, I'm saddened! In the photo, the beginning of the journey, 100 km.

I first bought them, then read the reviews and got a bit upset about some comments. But after three months of driving, I can say that the tires met my initial expectations. On ice, they grip well, the braking distance is short, and the ABS rarely kicks in. When cornering, the car doesn't skid. They also handle loose snow confidently. There is some noise from the studs, of course, but it's not critical to the ears. I recently checked the studs - everything looks fine visually. So far, I'm satisfied with everything.

A lyrical digression, before buying these tires, I had Bridgestone tires (made in Japan, 2013), during the entire period of operation, not a single stud came off, although they were almost worn out, I bought a set of studs and decided to re-stud them, removed all the old studs and re-studded them according to the instructions, drove for two more seasons and successfully sold them together with the disks.

I was advised to buy Gislaved (with a lowercase "g"), they didn't even come close to my previous tires, after a mileage of 1,000 km (60 km/h in the city and 90 km/h on public roads), for example, 41 studs came off from the left front wheel, and approximately the same on the other wheels. I contacted Mosshina, where I bought them, and they told me that I'm a stupid driver, and the tires are great! Kind people, especially the personal manager Denis.
