BUT THEY WERE BOTH AWESOME RUBBER, AND YOU COULD DRIVE STRAIGHT UP ANYWHERE
I've had Gislaved Nordfrost 200...My favorites were the Gislaved and will be getting new ones this year.
For a good balance of LONG wear and good grip I've been getting Gislaved NordFrosts. Those things seriously take four winters of high mileage, mostly bare pavement commuting to wear out.
I've run Shinko on scooters and motorcycles and liked 'em fine. Presently have Shinko 586 rear and 567 front on a Piaggio BV250.
I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.
I put on Shinko Ravens and they are more confidence inspiring than the Michelin Pilot 3s I was using.
Might I suggest some Shinko’s. I got 16k out of the back tire I got for my Goldwing, 12k+ of those were overloaded doing 80-90 across the country and through the Rockies.
I used to drive Gislaved studded tires in my Tuscon for 2yrs, great tires.
I currently drive 2018 XC90 r5 and live in Montreal, Canada with Gislaved tires. There is absolutely nothing in Volvo XC90 that makes it ideal car to handle large amount of snow.
As a person who sells motorcycle parts for a living and currently has Shinkos on his bike for cost effective reasons. I suggest to NEVER get Shikos.
