Tires GISLAVED or DEXTER
I had a very good experience with the Gislaved Nordfrost 100s. They were fairly priced, they have a crazy amount of tread for a tire, and their performance was very good.
Pros: very good performance
Vehicle:
Volvo
Gislaved Nord Frost 200 factory studded tires.
Vehicle:
Ford
I’ve had them for 2 years now. Decent off-road grip (gravel, dirt, slow trail crawls, deep snow, soft sand). They’re good enough that with the price I’d get another set and it doesn’t as much to replace.
Pros: decent off-road grip
Vehicle:
Jeep
I used to always buy Goodyear sport tires for bmw 328i but recently I’ve purchased dextero they are half the price and perform well. I haven’t had any problems with them in the last 2-3 years I’ve bought them
Pros: perform well, half price
Cons: none
Vehicle:
BMW
I had Conti Vikingcontacts and those were great. Also, they are hard to find, but Conti owns a company called Gislaved tires who make outstanding winter compounds. They are from Sweden and engineered specifically for Scandinavian, Canadian, and Russian winters.
Pros: great winter compounds
Cons: hard to find
Gislaved tires. They are studded from the factory and made by Continental. They are at least 30% less cost than Nokians and nearly as good. I have had both and will buy the Gislaveds every time.
Pros: less cost, nearly as good
I use gislaved winter tires on my A4 and they have worked well for high speed highway driving and also wet winter roads. Full confidence in snowy conditions. I am going with the same on the OB.
Pros: confidence in snowy conditions
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Gislaved snow tires from Sweden. I've been driving 35 years and never felt so good!
Pros: felt so good
I currently drive 2018 XC90 r5 and live in Montreal, Canada with Gislaved tires. There is absolutely nothing in Volvo XC90 that makes it ideal car to handle large amount of snow.
Cons: not ideal for snow
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
I have dexteros on an older suburban, they seem to wear ok, traction is less than the pirellis that came off (really down graded) so they are ok and have been a safe tire they are probably half the price of the pirellis that were removed.
Pros: wear ok, safe tire
Cons: less traction
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Suburban
