Tyre reviews Gislaved Ultra Speed 2 31

So what can I say, this tire is worthy. It holds the road well, and in the rain it doesn't notice the deep puddles, which is a big plus! It's fairly quiet. I've been driving 180, and it's holding well, but maybe that's due to the Mazda itself. At the same time, it's very soft, even too soft in the heat, it starts to lean, and it becomes harder to plot the trajectory. At a temperature below +

Hello, I bought Gislaved Ultra Speed 2 195/55 R15 tires in this store last year. I traveled about 17,000 km on them this season. What can I say, the tires are very soft, and you can't hear them on the highway at all. In a strong downpour on a wet asphalt road, they behave predictably and confidently at 110-120 km/h. They also hold well on dry asphalt, and at 100 km/h in

A bit strange tires. The price is, of course, great. In the sense of the smallest one:). I noticed immediately after the Dunlops that were in the car before, the noise level dropped noticeably. The tires are quieter and softer, or something. At first, I was thrilled. Then I started to notice something was off. It turned out that they are so soft that it affects the handling. A delay in the car's reaction to steering wheel turns appeared. If before the car

Currently in operation for 1 season. Size: 215/45/17. Very quiet and relatively soft (given the profile), compared to the factory NEXENs. On the highway, 180-190 km/h is easy. In heat, they tend to float a bit (also compared to NEXEN). Not entirely in agreement with the weak sidewall. Once on the highway, at 140 km/h I hit a pothole from a flattened-out truck's lane,

Tires are extremely comfortable

Very quiet, after my native Bridgestone Turanza ER300, it's like I'm driving with my ears plugged)). Although on the Bridgestone, the handling is sharper. I'm happy with the tyres, hopefully they will last me till the end of the season, I've driven around 1000 km so far, and there's no wear yet).

Good day, I installed these tires. I noticed that the direction of the tread pattern on the left and right sides of the vehicle is opposite. The tires are mounted on the rims with the outside and inside observed. The service said that it should be that way. Please let me know if this is correct?

Great price, good tire, not noisy, sidewall is a bit soft

Very strong tire, not afraid of either potholes or bumps, and at the same time sufficiently quiet and soft. Balances perfectly (225/65/17). Braking and acceleration are excellent on both dry and wet surfaces. Resistant to aquaplaning, beautiful asymmetric tread pattern. In general, I recommend.

Comment: I purchased a set of Gislavwed Ultra Speed 2 tires at the end of 2024 to replace my Michelin Primacy HP tires, which had served their purpose (tread depth of 1.5mm, microcracks on the sidewalls, and loss of air pressure). Both tire models have the same size, 205/55 R16 V91, which is standard for my Mazda 6 2.0 GG (sedan) with a manual transmission. I chose the Gislavwed Ultra Speed 2 tires based on my own research on the internet, without any recommendations from others. Michelin is a premium brand, and while it's a great brand, it's quite expensive for an older car.

As for how I came across Gislavwed, I've been very satisfied with their studded winter tires, which is why I decided to give their Ultra Speed 2 tires a try. According to the manufacturers' data, the Ultra Speed 2 tires are slightly inferior to the Primacy HP tires in terms of braking distance and fuel efficiency. However, it's essential to note that these data should not be the only factor in making a decision. The Ultra Speed 2 tires are manufactured in Portugal by the Continental corporation, while the Primacy HP tires are made in Germany by the Michelin corporation.

My driving style is approximately 60% dynamic and fast, but without any extreme behavior such as drifting or sudden acceleration. The remaining 40% of my driving is calm and relaxed, with smooth acceleration and braking using the manual transmission. I've driven about 500km on the new Ultra Speed 2 tires, and my personal opinion is that they are a worthy competitor to the Primacy HP tires.

Here are my observations:

1. The softness and thickness of the sidewalls are similar to the Primacy HP tires, and both belong to the class of soft tires. On winding roads, the Ultra Speed 2 tires perform well.
2. The noise level of the Ultra Speed 2 tires is not higher than that of the Primacy HP tires. In my personal experience, they are quite quiet at speeds up to 170km/h. On narrow, winding roads, the Ultra Speed 2 tires handle confidently, with a normal response to steering input and no feeling of vagueness.
3. In terms of aquaplaning, I had the opportunity to drive on wet roads with the Ultra Speed 2 tires, and they performed excellently. They cut through the water film like a cruiser, and I was able to accelerate and brake without losing contact with the road surface.
4. The braking performance of the Ultra Speed 2 tires is predictable and reliable, both on dry and wet roads. While the Primacy HP tires were still good on dry roads, they had started to aquaplane more easily due to their wear.
5. As for fuel efficiency, I haven't driven enough kilometers on the Ultra Speed 2 tires to make a conclusive statement. However, the Primacy HP tires had always been satisfactory in this regard.

In conclusion, my personal opinion is that the Ultra Speed 2 tires are an excellent choice, with great handling qualities and a very democratic price. I think that most people would not want to overpay for a premium brand for an older car. The Gislavwed Ultra Speed 2 tires offer a great balance of performance and price, and I'm confident that they will not disappoint.
