Review on Gislaved Nord Frost 200 205/55 R16 94T winter by Ada Grodzicka (Grodz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

I'm driving my first winter. Given how severe the winter was this time in St. Petersburg, I did not regret that I switched to spikes. The gain in braking on ice is obvious, and in terms of noise it is well at Velcro level. : I almost forgot - the second winter was also great. There was an abnormal amount of snow and ice this time in St. Petersburg (Beglov will not let you lie), but I drove very confidently. Depreciation is still negligible, but I have no more than 8000 runs per year. : In February 2022, I caught a hernia on the front right wheel after a strong blow - I hit the wheel in a fresh hole on the Scandinavian highway. The blow was such that everyone's teeth clicked in the car, so the hernia was not surprised. And so - everything is fine!

Pros
  • Holds the road well. If you deliberately break into a skid, then the car goes into a skid evenly, smoothly. Very quiet for spikes. I drive a 430 grand coupe - doors without frames. Yes, and the arches are noisy so-so. But I don’t hear an additional rumble from the spikes on this rubber.
Cons
  • On sharp turns, the car rolls more than in summer. On the other hand, I have a summer r19 runflat. That's probably why there's such a difference.
