Tyre reviews Gislaved Soft Frost 200 SUV. Page 7 225

Good tires.

Good tire. Roadholding (vehicle stability) on asphalt (dry and wet) is good. Braking is excellent. There is no ice and snow in our area at the moment. I cannot provide a more accurate assessment at this point, as I have driven on it relatively little and I have not yet tested it in difficult conditions.

I've got an equator - 20 thousand km on a set of tires. At this time, I usually look at the tread wear. Most often, by this moment, I realized that I would have to change the tires very soon. But now I looked and realized that it's not time to change them yet, at least another 20 thousand km. This is a good indicator.

We rode out the harsh winter in the Rostov region well, will continue to use further. Thanks to the seller

I got the Soft Frost 200 back in 2023. I decided to choose the non-studded Soft Frost 200 - I wanted the tires to be quiet and not interfere with my usual city driving. My expectations were met to some extent: driving in the city is a pleasure, the noise is almost inaudible, nothing distracts you. On snow, the tires hold up well, on a rolled road they behave confidently, you don't have to worry about every turn. On ice, you sometimes notice a slight slip, but if you drive calmly, everything is under control, and the car behaves predictably. Over two seasons, the wear is minimal, the rubber retains its working appearance.

The driving experience is short, but the tires are very impressive, after replacing the old ones with Gislaved, the car became instantly absolutely manageable, clearly felt on the road, the deviations on the ruts disappeared, the noise from the movement is not felt. Now, the weather is mysterious, frost and highways often have transitions from dry asphalt to snowy cover and wet salty grime. You don't even feel these changes in coverage, the car holds confidently, including on steep turns, without even a hint of skidding. The only thing, it seemed to me that the rubber is too hard compared to the previous one, maybe it's just at first, then it will "settle in".

I was looking for quiet winter tires, since I spend most of my time in the city on asphalt, and ice is a rarity where I live. The Soft Frost 200 behaves very quietly in the city, at speeds of up to 90 km/h they are almost inaudible. On snow, they handle softly, without jerks, and braking is predictable.

On the highway at 110 km/h, I feel confident. However, on morning ice, you need to be more careful. In terms of fuel efficiency — there are no changes, the consumption remains the same, as if you were driving on summer tires.
