vs
Tires Kleber or GISLAVED
i put yokohama ice guards on this year. we'll see how it goes. before that i had Gislaved Nordfrost tires that were unstoppable in snow storms.
Pros: unstoppable in snow storms
This was my second year on the Gislaved Nord Frost 5. I've had Blizzaks in the past and have used X-Ice, Nokian Hakepellita R, and Toyo (can't remember the model). The Gislaved is by far the best tire. The deep snow grip is by far the best of the bunch, the ice grip is second only to the X-Ice (which had the worst snow traction). Road noise is very low as well.
Pros: deep snow grip, low noise
Cons: ice grip second best
Nordfrost 5 (no studs) for the Tig (4motion), Marangoni 4ice on the Passat. I like the Nordfrosts better (had the Nordfrost 3 on the Jetta and loved them there too).
Pros: liked the Nordfrosts better
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I've run those on my A1s in the past, even had a set of Kleber 145-80R13 snow tires for many seasons. I had both those sizes mounted on the 13x4.5 factory steel wheels.
another winter tire i was (am probably gonna get this week) is the Gislaved Nordfrost 5 (Part of the Continental Tire group). All ive been reading are great reviews and best bang for the buck.
Pros: best bang for buck, great reviews
The Gislaved snow tires and AWD came in very handy as rain turned to freezing rain and then snow along our route.
Pros: handy in rain and snow
Vehicle:
Volvo XC70
Mine came with the Klebers which seem to be pretty good tyres.
Pros: pretty good tyres
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 23000 km
Kleebers wear very well.
Pros: wear very well
Vehicle:
