Tires FEDERAL or GISLAVED

I used to drive Gislaved studded tires in my Tuscon for 2yrs, great tires.

I have Hakka R5 on my GTI and Gislaved on my Golf SW.  Both have been excellent for me and my needs.

I am running Gislaved Nordfrost tires with the factory studs in Canada.

I had studded gislaved nord frost tires on a FWD Chevy Spectrum back in the day and was unstoppable.

I have Federal Himalaya Inverno K1 on my Highlander and they are boss. Never gotten stuck. Never had traction issues and I can go 120 in a blizzard

I have an R58 coupe and use Gislaved winter tires (made in Sweden).My mechanic recommended them, and it's a great choice.

We ran them on our champ car endurance race car. They were ok for what they are. Beware they will get greasy after around 10-15 laps at full pace and grip goes immediately. Caused significant understeer at the limit when this happened.

Federal tires are cheap and good. I use Michelin PS4 but on wet paint they're almost useless.

RS-RR's are good for wear also but way longer to overheat when pushed. They squeal and moan like crazy though and finding the limit of grip is very hard.

Had horrible experiences with these tires on my Focus ST, chunked really quickly and weren't as fast as the RS-RR's
