The long-standing presence of the Gislaved Nord Frost winter tire on the domestic market has hardly affected its popularity among car owners. This is due to its technical characteristics, which even against the backdrop of numerous more modern competitors are at a more than relevant level for our time. In addition, it is impossible not to note the basic equipment of this tire, which is supplied without studs. If necessary, they can be installed, for which the Swedish manufacturer has provided special places for mounting.

Five longitudinal rows of blocks

The key feature of the non-directional tread pattern of this tire is the arrangement of blocks. During movement, they form five continuous longitudinal ribs, which gives this model several advantages at once. The main ones are the stability of the coupling properties and stability at high speed, low rolling resistance.

A multitude of blocks of various shapes and sizes

The high efficiency of the operation of this tread on various types of coverage is ensured by the "play" of the shape, size, and arrangement of the blocks on it. In particular, in the shoulder areas, they are located transversely, having a shape close to rectangular. This made it possible to significantly improve the longitudinal traction-coupling properties on snow, improve maneuverability and controllability, and also significantly reduce the length of the braking distance.

Main features of the Gislaved Nord Frost tire

- the possibility of installing studs allows, if necessary, to significantly improve the coupling on rolled snow and ice;
- the 5-ribbed tread pattern is distinguished by excellent course stability and stable behavior at high speed;
- numerous wavy lamellas improve the coupling properties on icy roads, fully compensating for the lack of studs, as well as controllability on them;
- a large number and significant size of transverse and longitudinal drainage grooves prevent the occurrence of aquaplaning and slushplaning, ensuring reliable behavior in adverse road conditions.
