Tires KENDA or GISLAVED

Gislaved snow tires from Sweden. I've been driving 35 years and never 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.

Nevegal is a much better choice for cornering than ardent. I've done nevegal front/ardent rear before, but I really would be reluctant to push cornering speed on an ardent up front.

I like Gislaved Nord Frost tires

I have them on my 250l and they work great, they get the job done off road while still providing a lot of grip on road. The tire compound is quite soft which helps on road.

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.

i put yokohama ice guards on this year. we'll see how it goes. before that i had Gislaved Nordfrost tires that were unstoppable in snow storms.

This was my second year on the Gislaved Nord Frost 5. I've had Blizzaks in the past and have used X-Ice, Nokian Hakepellita R, and Toyo (can't remember the model). The Gislaved is by far the best tire. The deep snow grip is by far the best of the bunch, the ice grip is second only to the X-Ice (which had the worst snow traction). Road noise is very low as well.

In run kenda K35 tires (but not gumwall) and they are ok budget tires. They work well but are not especially light, grippy or puncture-resistant.

I liked the feel of Nevegals, but mine started to fall apart about 4 months after getting them. Durability seems to be an issue for myself, and some other people after reading other reviews.
