Review on Gislaved Nord Frost 200 205/55 R16 94T winter by Gabriela Chodun (Gab ᠌

I bought a Michelin X-ice 4 last season after reading tests and reviewers who said that the rubber product was not only powerful in terms of ride quality, but also quiet. In fact, it turned out that: 1. It’s really impossible to identify driving performance for a simple person (you can argue with this, but until you drive around the track with a stopwatch, there will be no arguments in your dispute, because usually people drive in modes where any seasonally selected the tire is suitable, or already none - skidding due to speeding or heavy braking), so I don’t even read all the owners’ stories about grip in recent years 2. she is NOISY. Therefore, for the upcoming winter, I chose a new rubber using a different method, which led me to the Gislaveda nordfrost 200. Having skipped all the chants about grip, I noticed the universal praise of these tires for their noise properties. They argued both the asymmetry of the pattern and the small number of spikes. In addition, to the delight of me, who in vain threw away (because they did not live up to expectations) a lot of money last winter on Michelin, Gislaved is even MUCH cheaper. When I left the tire shop, my joy knew no bounds. I did not believe my ears at first, they were not inferior in noise to my summer tires. Prada, summer ones from the salon, i. E. I didn't choose them, and they are budget (Yokohama "blue earth - A"), almost certainly they are not the quietest. But the mere fact that there is no obvious howl from the arches simply captivated me. Attaching two screenshots, it is desirable to look at the average value of avg, but you can also look at the instantaneous one. Where the average is 66.9, this is summer at 60 km / h along Varshavka (noisy asphalt at the entrance to the Third Ring Road when driving from the Hong Kong Ring Road). If anyone does not know, then it is asphalt that makes the greatest contribution to the noise of rubber, at least in summer. And even a complete Shumka car does not solve the issue - the type of asphalt will still dominate. And the second is Gislaved at 150 km / h. Summer (!) at this speed went beyond 73 dB. On Varshavka, the readings are the same.
