vs
Tires GISLAVED or Shinko
BUT THEY WERE BOTH AWESOME RUBBER, AND YOU COULD DRIVE STRAIGHT UP ANYWHERE
Pros: awesome rubber, drive anywhere
Vehicle:
Saab
I've had Gislaved Nordfrost 200...My favorites were the Gislaved and will be getting new ones this year.
Pros: favorites, getting new ones
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
For a good balance of LONG wear and good grip I've been getting Gislaved NordFrosts. Those things seriously take four winters of high mileage, mostly bare pavement commuting to wear out.
Pros: long wear, good grip, durable
I've run Shinko on scooters and motorcycles and liked 'em fine. Presently have Shinko 586 rear and 567 front on a Piaggio BV250.
Pros: liked them fine
I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.
Pros: great street tires
Cons: loose and washy offroad
I put on Shinko Ravens and they are more confidence inspiring than the Michelin Pilot 3s I was using.
Pros: confidence inspiring
Might I suggest some Shinko’s. I got 16k out of the back tire I got for my Goldwing, 12k+ of those were overloaded doing 80-90 across the country and through the Rockies.
Pros: high mileage, impressed
Cons: overloaded
Mileage: 16000 km
I used to drive Gislaved studded tires in my Tuscon for 2yrs, great tires.
Pros: great tires
Cons: noisey ride
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
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
As a person who sells motorcycle parts for a living and currently has Shinkos on his bike for cost effective reasons. I suggest to NEVER get Shikos.
Pros: cost effective
Cons: never get Shikos
