vs
Tires OEM Audi or GISLAVED
I had a very good experience with the Gislaved Nordfrost 100s. They were fairly priced, they have a crazy amount of tread for a tire, and their performance was very good.
Pros: very good performance
Vehicle:
Volvo
Gislaved Nord Frost 200 factory studded tires.
Vehicle:
Ford
Just got a 2021 sq5 today, comes with 5 year CPO, so it has like 3 years left. My intention is to drive it for 4-5 years, they quoted me like 3.5k CAD after tax for two years. So ill have factory warranty until 2028.
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
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
Gislaved is a Continental brand: they are OK-ish tires at best.
Cons: OK-ish tires at best
The stock tires are garbage. Brakes are expensive.
Cons: stock tires garbage
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
