vs
Tires GISLAVED or OEM Porsche
Reviews
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
Commute was great. These tires are amazing. They're called "Gislaved Nordfrost 200's" if you're wondering, I believe they run for around $1,400cdn for the 18" size I have, but would be cheaper for smaller sizes.
Pros: amazing tires, great commute
I drive my 981.2 (718) Cayman in the winter around here in Ohio and it does fine with winter tires (does better than most AWD things with just all-seasons)
Pros: does fine with winter tires
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
I like Gislaved Nord Frost tires
Pros: user likes them
Had gislavid nordfrost's on my golf wagon tdi. Would highly recommend these tires. Northern Ontario highway driving, these tires were amazing on ice and hard packed snow, made the wagon feel like it was all wheel drive.
Pros: amazing on ice, hard snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Gislaved is a Continental brand: they are OK-ish tires at best.
Cons: OK-ish tires at best
Had an alignment done at a Porsche dealer here in TX, gave them a printout of the specs a shop in CA had aligned it to. Come to find out they were way off and I ended up destroying the inside edge of my front track tires.
Cons: destroyed inside tire edge
Vehicle:
Porsche
