vs
Tires Laufenn or GISLAVED
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 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
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
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
They’re a mid tier tire brand. They’re not the best nor the worst. However, if you want a better recommendation that’s mid tier but in my opinion a lot better, get Laufenn tires.
Pros: better mid tier tires
Cons: not the best
I have a st of Laufenns on my old beater Outback. So far, they seem to be ok for routine commuting. Are they performance tires? Heck no, but they do what I need them to do on dry roads and wet ones.
Pros: ok for routine commuting
Cons: not performance tires
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I checked my car tires and they are Laufenn. My ride quality is quite bumpy and shaky.
Cons: bumpy and shaky ride
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
