Tyre reviews Gislaved ArcticControl 64

I bought it on the advice of a seller in a store in Minsk. I haven't been so pleased with tires in a long time. On the new ones, the imbalance was 40-50 grams, I drove 1000 km and rebalanced them. Now they've added 15-20 grams on average. I used to drive on everything: Nokian, Pirelli, Dunlop, Continental, etc. This model is cheaper, but surprisingly, it's very confident and predictable on the road. It handles snow porridge, digs into snow, aquaplaning is minimal, and it's very quiet. On ice, you need to be more careful, after all, it's not studded tires. It holds the road at high speed. I drive fast, on the highway at 180-200 km/h. I've driven about 28,000 km, and the wear is 50%. I'm very pleased. I bought the same ones for my JETUR T2.

A fairly good tire for European winter. Soft, not critically noisy. Acceptable in snow. Unfortunately, it performs poorly on ice

In January, I had to throw away my old tires and urgently look for new ones. I decided to install ArcticControl - the tires had just appeared, and I decided to try out the novelty. I trust the Gislaved brand.

I was looking for non-studded tires, since I mainly drive in the city, and immediately appreciated: the rubber is pleasantly soft, the car is quiet, and the noise is almost absent. They drive confidently in the snow, especially if you don't accelerate sharply. On ice, of course, caution is required, but the grip is noticeably better than it was with the previous tires. On dry asphalt, the sensations are excellent - no extra sounds, the car goes smoothly. Frost did not become a problem, the rubber remained elastic, and the handling is clear. So far, I've driven about 2200 km - the first impressions are very positive.

I'm satisfied with the wheels. They handle snow on front-wheel drive very well, and they also perform well on snowy slush. It's hard to say about ice, because you need to compare them with other tires immediately. I hit a section of road that looked like clean asphalt, but it turned out to be a skating rink. The ABS was screeching on all wheels, but the car stopped 10 meters before the truck. In general, I'd give them 4 out of 5 for ice. On dry asphalt, in a sharp turn, the summer Pirelli Scorpion would enter at 80 and the car wouldn't skid, but with this winter tire, it starts to skid at 80. It's not noisy. 160 km/h is excellent, I haven't tried more.

I purchased these tires and decided to leave my first impressions.

I've driven about 1000 km, I'm very pleased with the tires. The quality is top-notch. They are very quiet. The ride is comfortable. The car handles very well. I especially liked the handling on a snowy road. Very good snow evacuation from the tread. I've driven many Continentals of different models. Gislaved is an excellent successor in terms of quality. I recommend them to everyone.

As the main test, I have a hill at my dacha. And if I used to only climb it with a run-up, now I can drive up it calmly. In the city, everything is as usual, without any wonders or mishaps.

Tread is good, confidently digs through snowy slush. Soft, doesn't become hard in frost. Slippery on bare ice, as with all non-studded tires.

Decided to try out the new one. So far I've driven a bit - a couple of thousand, but the impressions are pleasant. Very comfortable, quiet in the cabin. They handle well on packed snow in the courtyards, don't skid on flat surfaces. On clean asphalt, they behave almost like summer tires, don't "float". In the strong frosts that arrived recently, they worked normally.

Advantages: Installed perfectly. Tires are even. Balancing is easy.
Not particularly noisy. Normal tires

Actually, after the New Year, I installed "studs". Before that, I still believed that I could finish the season on the old tires.
So, about ArcticControl: on snowy surfaces, the tires provide stable movement, there is no tendency to skid. The braking process is smooth, without sudden changes in trajectory.
On icy surfaces, increased attention is required. Nevertheless, the level of grip is sufficient to maintain controllability in standard driving modes. When driving on dry asphalt, the noise level remains low, which meets the expectations for comfort.
