vs
Tires NANKANG or GISLAVED
Little bit too late, but i ma using the same tyre now. First impressions are really good, its quiet and comfort, acting well also. For that price i think you cant beat them with anything.
Pros: quiet and comfort, acting well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat CC
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
I had NS-2's and loved them.
Pros: loved them
So far so good. I've put close to 500 miles on them they seem to be really quiet, and handle well in the rain. They stretch well, ride quietly, and they are cheap so I have no complaints.
Pros: ride quietly, handle well
Mileage: 805 km
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
Get Ns1's. Handle heavy load, stretch well, and respond well to over inflation.
Pros: handle heavy load, stretch well
i have them , deff buy .they are good and have been holding up well
Pros: good, holding up well
I had some back in like 2002 or so, not bad, not great but definately not a high quality tire.. does the job if you just need something for basic use
Pros: does the job
Cons: not high quality
Ive had them on the car for 2 weeks not 215/35/18. Yeah probably aren't great in the snow, and they are only rated to H but Im not going above hundred ever. Bid Deal. They do stretch GREAT and Thats honestly the reason why i got them:thumbup:. If you read the reviews they are decent but not crappy by any means. I'm running -2.5 degrees in the rear on air ride and I'm not spending $500-$800 to go through tires in 10k miles
Pros: stretch great, decent
Cons: not great in snow
I had Nankangs on my Honda Civic (195/50/15). They were very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction. I wouldn't buy them again.
Cons: very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
