I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

Having traveled on spikes from other manufacturers, I got used to the growing sound of spikes when braking and cornering. There is no such sound here, everything is quiet and it seems that the tire will now go skidding, but no, it slows down and goes into turns and, moreover, very reliably. If you do not get ahead of the braking moment and do not crush it insolently, then the car stops quickly without slipping. With sharper braking and working with the brakes “insolently”, there is a slight skid drift at the end of the braking distance, but again at a speed where the ABS no longer works and only a few tens of centimeters.
At the weekend I went to the country, after a blizzard, I thought I would not pass, snow had piled up on the ground clearance. Before giving 3 km constantly uphill. The car was crawling… sometimes quite confidently, sometimes slowing down, but crawling… in all the rises, not especially roaring and adhering to the given trajectory. On one of the climbs with a turn, it was blown away, of course, I thought that everyone had arrived, but turning back and setting a different trajectory from a place, I still took the height a little sideways. The first tread pattern Continental does its job and this tire cannot be called purely urban. The tread, of course, is clogged with snow, but it does not “blur”, the pattern is always visible. Therefore, winter fishing with these tires is still ahead and not only)))
At the moment, the mileage is a little over 2022 km.
Bottom line: I was satisfied with the tires, I did not regret the choice at all. Tires are 100% worth their money. Each tire has its own advantages and disadvantages, certain features. Would I recommend them to other motorists? - definitely yes.

Pros

Good day to all. This is my first review, so please don't judge too harshly. I decided to write a review about the purchased new studded winter tires Gislaved Nord Frost 200 suv in size 225/55R18. I drive a Mitsubishi Outlander. The beginning of winter for the region of the Far North this year turned out to be incomprehensibly warm, so I put the tires on only by the end of October and the run-in took place on asphalt, when the daytime air temperature did not exceed +3 degrees. I immediately noticed that the tires are very quiet. At first I attributed it to a low speed during the break-in, but after passing the first 300 km and increasing the speed limit to 90 km / h, the noise practically did not change. By and large, the noise is a little more than in summer. The first sleet and minus that same evening, in principle, showed all the possibilities of the selected tire. On an icy track, the tire behaves very predictably. There are no hints of the car walking along the lane, braking and acceleration are clear, without breakdowns and slips. Long turns are confident, it is clear not at speed, as in summer, but only 10-15 km / h lower. On snow porridge, the indicators are also on the level, it holds, diverts, and slows down well. When braking with one side in the porridge and the other on packed snow, there are small, barely noticeable complaints about directional stability, which you feel yourself, having driving experience, but which the directional stability system does not even have time to feel. I tried to get under way when leaving the yard, in front of the “asphalt speed bump” and, accordingly, full coast, either on the front-wheel drive, with the connection, or with the lock - no difference. The only thing is that a small "shirk" is heard on the front-wheel drive and the car went to pick up acceleration. Therefore, I drive on the front wheel drive, without any connections.

Cons

The only thing that upset me was the lateral drift during a sharp turn, at about a speed of 35-40 km / h (to have time to slip through the m / y cars into the turn). At the same time, the demolition is carried out by the whole machine, and not by axles, which in turn pleased me a little. He began to write off that the spikes had not yet come out enough, then that the spike was smaller than that of the Continental itself . but in the evening, returning from the central part, in the same place without oncoming cars, he did the same. The car slightly scratched with spikes almost calmly entered the turn. At first I did not understand what the trick was, then it dawned on me - in the evening the tires were warmed up for 26 km from the central part. In general, you need to be more careful in your desires to slip into the cold, although it is clear that everyone is in a hurry to get to work, schools, kindergartens, etc. in the morning.
