Tyre reviews Gislaved Nord Frost 200 821

Straight to the point. I didn't spend too much time choosing, went to the website, read up, thought, and ordered. Driven through winter in extreme northern conditions. I'm sure our temperature conditions for this product are clear. I've driven at temperatures as low as -30 (32) with WtBasto. Below that, I just wouldn't want to torture the car. And now it's already getting warm, there were puddles and clean ice and clear asphalt at -

Well, guys, I first tried Gislaved on my Lada in 2007, it was a Nord Frost 3, and it was just mind-blowing for me at that time. I used them for many seasons and then sold them.

When I decided to buy a 200 from Gislaved, many connoisseurs said "phooey", as it's like it's not even a Gislaved at all, and hardly anyone's ever heard of the company

I bought this tire because in my family the RAV 4 has already had four seasons with Nord Frost 100 (Germany) and it has been a delight. We had doubts about whether to take the Nord Frost 200 for the Mondeo, as it is produced in Russia (if I am not mistaken, in the city of Voronezh).

The impressions are mixed. Maybe due to the 16 radius, which is a bit too small for the Mondeo.<

I will highlight the most unexpected (and, consequently, the most pleasant) quality of this tire: it's extremely quiet! Extremely!

VAG car owners (at least, Škoda owners) will surely know that our cars are very sensitive to the noise/vibration transmitted from the road surface through the suspension elements. I bought Nf200 after Hakk7 because Hakk7 (after wearing out) was literally driving me mad with its noise. Now I'm driving and I'm ecstatic

For five years, my Nokian Hakkapeliitta N200s ran on a Cordiant SM. Compared to this rubber, this one falls off in fuel efficiency…..significantly. The noise is less, close to the Bridgestone Turanza's summer noise levels. Stopping on a wet surface is normal, there is confidence, it reduces stopping distance. Downfalls - there is some slip on high speed cornering on a slippery road with a lot of camber. In short -

I'm not an expert in the nuances of handling and other characteristics of tires. This autumn I purchased a set of Gislaved Nord Frost 200 winter tires, a newcomer, a Continental copy, etc. What I can say about these tires is that their handling is good, on dry asphalt (installed in the autumn before the first frost) the car runs smoothly, no understeer was noticed, on wet asphalt, which is predominant in Moscow for a large part of the winter, there were

For this price, the best price-quality ratio.

Bought the specified tyres in size 205/50/16. At the time of writing this review, the mileage was 9000 km. The tyres were thoroughly worn in, and then driven with a bit of enthusiasm. The vehicle is a 1.8T 4-wheel drive. Overall, these tyres are very good. They're quite robust. The tyres survived the moment when the wheel went into a pothole, the stamped disc was bent, and the tyre remained unaffected.

This tire is very comfortable, soft, and quiet for urban winter asphalt, feeling like summer tires, and even quieter and more comfortable, all until you hit ice or snowy roads, and then it's not very good, due to the small number of studs and their small protrusion, the tire is actually something in between studded and friction tires - it brakes poorly on such surfaces, can easily go into skid or drift, and doesn't like loose snow either - it gets clogged quickly. On the highway, there were no complaints, although I drove through several heavy snowfalls. The tire is soft, wear is average, after 20,000 km and 4 seasons, from 9.2 mm, 7.5 mm remained, the studs are almost all in place, but are loose, partially broken, and perform their function poorly. I can recommend these tires primarily for urban use, but with some reservations. I won't buy them again for myself due to the weak grip in difficult conditions.

I bought these tyres when they first came out in the autumn of 2016 and have done around 5000 km on them. The thing I like most about this tyre is its predictable behaviour on any type of surface. Acoustic comfort is also top-notch because of the small number of studs. However, based on this, on ice they're a bit worse than more heavily studded models like Hakkapeliitta 8, Ice Zero etc. But they're not a sticky tyre! I
