Tires GISLAVED or OEM Volkswagen

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

Had them on our Pilot a few years back. Loved them. I would purchase again.

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.

Gislaved Nord Frost 200 factory studded tires.

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.

These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.

Gislaved is a Continental brand: they are OK-ish tires at best.

Mine came with 19” Montevideo which have been turned into dedicated winter setup, I upgraded to 20’s. The ride isn’t horrible tbh but it is worse, but you will for ever have that feeling of butthole pucker up lol every time you slightly even see a pothole.
