Review on Gislaved Nord Frost 200 205/55 R16 94T winter by Ada Adaszek ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It is better not to buy it, the product is not what it should be.

Previously left a five-point review immediately after the purchase. But now I warn everyone against buying this tool for suicide. Maybe when the production was not racial, it was also normal. But now: the road does not keep from the word AT ALL, absolutely unpredictable, then it catches, then it doesn’t. On asphalt, it slides like on a sled (ok, the spikes are the same), on porridge more than 40 in the city you can’t accelerate, otherwise you won’t enter the turn. On a slightly frozen track (not ice) I almost flew into a fret (largus, Karl) calmly stopping at a traffic light in front of me, I barely managed to go around it, jumping out into the oncoming lane, since there was no one there, and I stopped nose-to-nose with him. Those. would remain without a muzzle, and a person's life would be ruined. And there are a million such situations in a season. Just yesterday, I almost drove into the X5, since there was apparently an experienced driver in front of me, and when he saw me (or heard the crackle of my ABS), he leaned forward a little so that I would not leave him without a rear end. Before turns, you have to slow down to 10-15 km / h, otherwise it is not known where the maneuver will end, in your own lane or in the oncoming ditch. You have to keep a solid distance, because even on a bald summer one, in my opinion, the braking distance is shorter. Even selling this rubber product is a shame, God forbid, the buyer will be killed. Behind the wheel for 11 years, I rode on any rubber, as a student, even on a bald noname, but I have never experienced such horror. And yes, I experimented with pressure. No, it's not about pressure. If you see a Made in 2022 marking in a store, it’s better to take at least something made in China. And ours are counted for such crafts on an industrial scale. Import substitution in the best traditions.

Pros
  • Slightly quieter than many competitors. On the previous car I rolled with Velcro, I thought out of habit that it seems to be good for spikes. But then I took a ride in a Hyundai Solaris taxi on some studded name from Auchan and it was QUIETER THAN ON MY FULLY NOISE-INSULATED K5 ! Especially after the trip, I checked if the taxi driver was lying to me that the tires were studded. So the myth about its low noise is just mass hysteria. Only kama or cordiant make more noise.
Cons
  • Absolutely unpredictable. If I could put 0 for handling, I would.
