Review on Gislaved Nord Frost 200 205/55 R16 94T winter by Gabriela Chodun (Gab ᠌
Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!
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.
- + price + low noise. + made in 2022. Someone will laugh, but I see in this only an impact on point 1 (price) The clatter of spikes is only at walking speeds, and a little further they are not audible at all. The clatter of Michelin x-ice 4 was heard up to at least 50 km / h The howl of the tread, similar to an airplane engine, which I heard before from ALL winter tires that I used, is almost inaudible on our standard (lays in most cases) asphalt, this is a phenomenal result. There is a feeling that you are generally riding in the summer! Yes, a little howling is heard. But compared to its competitors, one can say that it is not at all. There is only one case when you can clearly pay attention to the howl of the tread: when you leave on a smooth patch of asphalt, which is fresh and even in rainy weather like a mirror. On it, any rubber is quiet, because it is the roughness of the asphalt that actually makes the main contribution to the noise background inside the car, if we are talking about tire noise, which is the main one. So, on smooth new asphalt, any rubber does not make noise, even such a disgusting one as Nexen. And when you go to such a site, then in the general silence you can clearly hear the howl of the protector Gislaved. But the joke is that smooth asphalt in our country can be found only a few short times a year, and then this smooth one quickly turns into ordinary, noisy. So 99.9% of the time, in the noise of ordinary asphalt, you will hardly hear the rumble of the tread typical for winter tires. And it's truly kayfovo, if you compare my past suffering in the winter.
- - this rubber does not know how to bake pies - there are complaints from users about the fragility, with regards to spikes. So far, I can’t summarize from personal experience because of the short service life, but I’ll say this: for its noise qualities and with normal driving, I’m ready to buy it more often, given its low cost.
