vs
Tires WEST LAKE or GISLAVED
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
I personally run Westlakes SA07’s and will swear by them until the day I die
Pros: grippy, long lasting
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
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
Any tire sold in the us is safe to put on your car, the west lake rp18 is a knock off of a continental tire, I have heard good things about it in terms of value for money
Pros: value for money
I've got Westlake on my escape and mustang, they seem fine to me.
Pros: seem fine
Westlake RP18 - Delaminated the tire before I killed the tread, good life, crappy grip.
Pros: good life
Cons: crappy grip, delaminated
I had a set of Chinese "Westlake" ST tires, load E, and got 15k miles out of them (16 months) before tread separation. I replaced with Goodyear Endurance ST.
Cons: tread separation
Mileage: 24140 km
