Tires are money...I've blown through 3 sets, I admit I've been a bit rough...but that's on me, driving on dry asphalt until the last minute. And besides, that's my 4th car and still Gislaved.

Expected more from the German. Did 3 seasons on Nortman 4 and it behaved much better, but only made a noise.

Tire - good. Compared to the previous one: haka4, it wins both in snow and ice. Another feature: it sees itself beautifully (of course, for a winter studded tire!) on dry asphalt.

Best studdied winter tires I’ve ever driven. Excellent ice and snow traction. Surprisingly quiet ride on the pavement. There’s huge improvement in traction and comfort versus the old studs.

This is my third set of Gislaved winter tires. They perform equally well as daily winter tires and track tires.

Third year I put NF5 on, tread is like new, lost 3-5 studs, don't feel like I'm driving in winter - drive on it like in summer - calmly and confidently. GISLAWEED - thing!

Good tires for the price. In four seasons, no more than 2-3 studs fell off the wheel. Not great on snowdrifts. Excellent at jumping over puddles on the track.
