Tyre reviews Gislaved Premiumcontrol 986

It seems like they only publish good reviews??? Why can't I see my previous review? Wasn't it published???

I installed a set of these tires, everything was fine, but three out of four wheels turned out to be unbalanced. After 110 km/h, vibration starts, and it's impossible to drive at 140 km/h for a long time due to strong vibration. Rebalancing didn't help. Although the winter tires of the same company are sticky, it's like heaven and earth.

But otherwise, the tires are excellent, they handle the road well in any weather. Not noisy.

A review should be written when it's been three or four years and the tire has a mileage of 30-40 thousand. But for now, it's been the first year and ~5 thousand. The tire is soft, quiet, balanced usually, 15-20 grams, gripping on dry asphalt, I drive in pensioner mode, well, sometimes like a mom's racing driver, within the speed limit and in turns it doesn't skid or slide. In the rain, I drive slowly, when there's water in the ruts, it's all the same, it doesn't hydroplane. In general, the tire pleased me, it's comfortable. Previously, I had 11-year-old Dunlop Sport BluResponse 205/55 R16 91H and it was also good, a bit noisier, but damn it, 11 years old and it still had 1.5 mm of tread left before the limit, and I only drove 30 thousand kilometers in 3 years, and the previous owners... We'll see what happens with Gislaved, but for now, I'm fully satisfied. The usage is not extreme, city, highway, and a dirt road to the dacha. I haven't hit any severe potholes yet. If there's an opportunity, I'll add to the review. For now, I give it 5!!!, but these are the fives of a regular average driver, not a professional on a track or polygon.

Tire fire!!! I've been driving on a set of Premiumcontact 2, Premiumcontact 5, Premiumcontact 6 since 2011, so I have something to compare with. The 2024 release, fresh one. The tire is very quiet and perfectly absorbs minor asphalt defects. In terms of wear, it's slightly less than the 6th model. I haven't driven in the rain yet, but I'm sure everything will be fine. I took 205/55 R16 for 4700 rubles due to a promotion, the price is nice) I hope the quality won't degrade over time. I recommend the tire!!!

No tests were done, bought at my own risk. Quiet, moderately soft. To my feeling, it does not differ much from Continental. Balanced well, without large numbers. One wheel was even balanced to zero.

The tires are on a 2013 Turan. I drove south on them. In heavy rain, at 130-140 km/h on the highway, they hold the road confidently. In city puddles, they are also confident. When braking intensively, the assistants never kicked in, although when starting sharply, the traction control sometimes kicked in, but that was already in the fall when temperatures were below +10. At temperatures below 10 degrees, they seem to be a bit noisier. In terms of noise, they are average. The sidewall is soft, but on the road, this is not noticeable, compared to Sailun with a harder sidewall. I haven't driven on Continental, so I don't know how they compare. Compared to Sailun, they are roughly similar, but I liked Gislaved a bit more. Psychologically, I feel more at ease on Gislaved than on Chinese tires. After 7000 km, of which 5500 km were driven to the sea and back, I don't notice any significant wear. I hit a pothole in the Saratov region very hard, but the tire remained intact. For 4 tires in the spring, I paid around 28,000 rubles with delivery to the Urals, size 215/55/16.

Replaced my old Bridgestone MU-02 with Gislaved. The sidewall on Gislaved is softer than on Bridgestone, which makes it more comfortable to drive, but there's some vagueness in the steering response. However, the tire grips the road quite well, ABS kicks in very rarely, and it doesn't understeer in turns. On straights, it holds speeds of 150+ well, and there are no issues with lane changes. The noise level is lower than on Bridgestones. I didn't notice any aquaplaning. They were balanced with a minimal amount of weights: from 5 to 15 grams. Overall, I liked the tire for its comfort.

Excellent tires. I really liked Continental Premium Contact 5 at one time. Took it and didn't regret it. Quiet, doesn't hum on rough asphalt, although they did put about 40 grams of weights on one wheel, the other wheels didn't need any weights at all.

Comfortable, soft Rubber
Handles well on asphalt (even very)
After 7 thousand miles, one minus - crosswind sensitivity due to soft sidewall (sidewall holds bumps well)

The old tire started making noise. Pirelli. The ride became a real nightmare. The noise was unbearable. After replacing it, I was just shocked. At first, I thought it was the hub bearing or the gearbox. After diagnosis, I realized it was the tire. I installed this one and was shocked. Complete silence. Guys, change your tires every 3-4 years. I was just in shock. No vibration on the steering wheel, no weird noises. It's like driving on rails. I haven't even broken it in yet, but I think it will get even better. Excellent tire for my Chevy. Aveo t300. The car just came alive. I recommend getting the alignment done before replacement, which is what I did. Fantastic. I recommend 100% - buy it without hesitation.

I'm satisfied with the purchase. The tires are clear. Respect to the seller and respect.
