Review on Gislaved Nord Frost 200 205/55 R16 94T winter by Edyta Anna Ensztejn ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product did not cause delight, but you can use it.

I fell for a tread identical to my favorite Continental ContiIceContact BD. Yes, the spike is different, but they thought when they did it. It turned out that they were not thinking about what I expected. I consider it important to note that I am engaged in amateur auto racing on ice, so I have experience of driving on the "zero" DB kontik, and, perhaps, some kind of pomp who reveals the difference in behavior. And I have a strong feeling that this ice is absolutely contraindicated for rubber, moreover, both a centimeter layer of ice on top of the asphalt, and an invisible crust in severe frost. In such conditions, the rubber begins to slide much earlier than you expect from it. I also inherited a sharp slip from Kontik, with Hakka 8 (yes, I know the difference in price, but for me Hakka 8 is the standard for a smooth slip into slip), so I would not recommend this rubber for cars without a good stabilization system.

Pros
  • Relatively low price, not the loudest spike.
Cons
  • I really didn't like the behavior on the ice, especially the braking. I find it difficult to evaluate acceleration, because I have four-wheel drive and did not start with gas to the floor. Braking on ice left an extremely negative impression, the utterly worn out Continental ContiIceContact BD braked the same way. The side grip also did not inspire, although it did not upset, like braking. There is also an uneven rumble, probably due to the tread. When moving, the spikes buzz not monotonously, but pulsatingly.
