Gislaved Nord Frost 200 SUV 235/55 R18 104T XL

Manufacturer RUSSIA!

At first glance, a fairly decent option, but the price is utterly exorbitant!

Budget, one word. Bare ice, deep snow, stuff don't hold. Normal Volga winter roads - fine, brakes are confident, skid predictable.

Noisy up to 400 km. Lacked 5 studs on front wheels by 3000 km. For comparison, drove 4 winters on 8 studs and never lost one.

The tire is pretty mediocre. While riding on asphalt at cold temperatures, it was not very clear. But anyway, it somehow strained. And when a snowflake fell and froze, Glišov did completely spoil my mood... for the nth time. So I had to urgently find a replacement. The replacement is delightful!

The tires are quite decent, but there are nuances. The main issue is braking on ice. When braking at a traffic light where there is packed snow or ice, the car brakes very poorly, and with slight pressure, it goes into ABS, and the studs do not make the braking process easier (it's like driving on summer tires). It's very strange and extremely unpleasant. On dry and wet asphalt, there are no problems (and there shouldn't be). The noise level is low, comfortable.

Expectations were not met. Noisy, holds the road at 3.

Let's see how the tire behaves, I might adjust the review in a better or worse direction… but I didn't expect any deception from Mosavtoshina…

Terrible handling on snow porridge, when turning, the car loses traction. Very dangerous and unpredictable tires. For 15 years of driving experience, I've driven on many winter tires from different manufacturers, but I've never encountered such tires. The most interesting thing is that a couple of my acquaintances also bought the same tires and are in complete solidarity with me, and together we think to carefully drive out this winter on them and get rid of them on Avito.

P.S. In 2017, I bought Nokian Nordman Frost 200 and drove on them for 2 seasons without any negative experiences. What they've done to the tire after the Russian localization, I don't understand!

The only plus is the quietness, because there are very few studs (possibly that's why it doesn't work in winter).

I'm sure that a friction tire performs better in winter than the one I'm describing.

Very noisy. The studs are not quenched, after a month they have already become loose, not torn. At speed, the sedan floats as it wants.

I've been driving on these tires for a month, and the studs are already coming out, they're noisy but ride softly, previously I had Pirelli (Russia) for 2 years without a single stud coming out
