Review on Gislaved Nord Frost 200 205/55 R16 94T winter by Bogusawa urawska ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I have not regretted the purchase, everything is fine.

Dimension 205/55 R16, set pressure 2.6 atm / 2.6 atm, car Lada Largus Cross, 2022 onwards, engine 21129, 106 hp . In general, I liked the model, a very peculiar tire, like an ax tool - until you poke your fingers, it seems to be a useful thing. The model has excellent acoustic comfort, due to lightweight spikes and an unusual asymmetric tread. Spikes are not good, light alloy does not guarantee their strength. The tread of both tires consists of an outer "herringbone" and an inner part that protects against lateral drift. The "herringbones" of both, right and left tires do not intersect, but are arranged in parallel, the inner part of the tread working for directional stability looks like a pug against a polkan, we will add a soft sidewall, hence the course phalarope and demolition on snow slush, and blocks of shoulder zones "herringbones, working under other conditions (rolled snow, asphalt, asphalt with sludge) are powerless here, hence the lateral drift when cornering, especially if you pile it up well. It happened to dodge a collision, he noted that the tire was rolling, compared to previously used ones, but controllability was not lost. The main thing is not to drive on this tire during snowfalls and the thawing period, especially where the road goes to a bend, the tire makes it clear in advance that you should not go faster, buoyancy appears, i. E. the feeling that you are driving, like on an air cushion, in this In case it is necessary to adjust the speed mode to a safer one (a safe high-speed corridor in such bad weather is 50-60 km/h; after 60 to 75 km/h, buoyancy is not very good, driving and braking is already slightly stressful; 80-90 km/h high risk of losing control and not slowing down in front of a sudden obstacle). The tire is worth its money, with competent driving it will not bother; I wouldn’t take one for my relatives, wife or children, I would buy it for myself again, I advise others to think carefully before taking it for themselves. Everyone, very good health and mood, do not get sick in winter, and in summer - get vitamins on the sunny shores of your favorite resorts!

Pros
  • - Quiet. The first thing that came to mind when looking at the tread is a gear with a helical gear, gearboxes with them are considered quiet, the load is distributed on the teeth along the involute, due to which a smooth ride is ensured, from here, I dare to suggest and switch from gear to tire, silence and responsiveness on the gas pedal. - Good response to the gas pedal. - Holds course well when passing a rut. - Good handling in ice. - Confident and precise control, acceleration, braking on packed snow and asphalt. - A good rubber compound (does not tan in frosty and does not spread in warm weather).
Cons
  • - Durability of a sidewall - average. - Poor lateral grip and poor handling when maneuvering in loose snow at speeds over 60 km/h. - Valkost during sharp maneuvering on asphalt, packed snow, in my opinion, due to the laxity of the sidewall. - On loose snow, demolition during a sharp turn at a speed of 50-60 km / h in the city; when passing long turns at a speed of 80-90 km / h outside the city (when it snowed abundantly, both on frozen and rolled asphalt, or the snow rolled, and it was crushed with a good portion of reagents). - It stops very badly on polished snow, it’s also not easy to start, you go a little too far and start grinding, but it’s hard to say how critical it is, any tire on such a surface behaves unsafely. - In the first 2 thousand km, about five pieces flew off from one front wheel, with a quiet ride and a run-in, though it was slowed down to the floor on asphalt, now the mileage is 5 thousand km, it seems that the fallout is not progressing.
