Tyre reviews Gislaved Terracontrol. Page 4 164

It works great for its price

I studied for a long time and finally chose Gislaved. After all, it's a German school - an analogue of Continental. And I didn't regret it, the tire is soft, moderately noisy, small road joints - pass almost without a feeling, on unevenness - noticeably softer. In the rain and puddles - I haven't tried yet, but I'm sure they won't let me down. Would I choose them again - definitely yes.

There were initially doubts about purchasing these tires. I had previously used the same brand, Gislaved, but at that time it was a subsidiary of Continental, and now it's a different story...

In general, it's good that they didn't change or invent anything new, the tires are excellent, manufactured in 2025, and for now, I agree that it's a direct copy of Continental in every way. Not only is the tread pattern the same, but the behavior is also identical, which can't be said for other tires of this brand. It was well-balanced. The performance on the road is excellent, the tread is not noisy, and it's well-suited for trips to nature without excessive enthusiasm, of course. For those who need a compromise between city and nature, this is an excellent option. It handles potholes, speed bumps, and joints well.

Compared to the winter Yokohama ice Guard G075 215/65 R17.

I took it for a crossover for trips to the dacha. It goes smoothly on asphalt, and on dirt roads it also doesn't jerk. It makes a tiny bit of noise on old asphalt.

I recommend

We'll wait for spring, then we'll try it out)

I purchased TerraControl for Qashqai at the beginning of spring. I was looking for a universal summer tire that would perform well on both asphalt and dirt roads. So far, my impressions are positive: you drive and don't think about it.

In the city, I mostly move around for work: traffic jams, potholes, sharp turns - everything is adequate. Handling is neutral, without excessive sharpness, but on the highway at 120 km/h, I didn't notice any "rollover". The trip to the country house on a broken road passed without surprises - the tire smoothly absorbs bumps, not afraid of small stones.

The tire is closer to comfortable in terms of noise - I won't say it's super quiet, but it's within reasonable limits. The sidewall looks durable. It holds pressure stably, and after the first thousand kilometers, I didn't need to pump it up again.

Replaced with the factory ones. They run quietly on dry pavement, and on the dirt road to the dacha, there are also no issues. Dirt flies off them strongly, and the arches get dirty quickly.

On country roads, the tires performed normally: they easily handled gravel and dry ruts without any nervousness, and on the highway, only the sound became more noticeable.
