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.
Currently, running Phantom C-sports. Have 25k on these...and they are wearing o0n target to reach the 50k guarantee.
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.
Sure, for about 12k miles.
Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.
They’re good for me since my car has camber and will just destroy the tires anyways
They're Chinese junk. They sorta work, but have 20% less traction and 50% less lifetime.
