In 2018 experts of the Norwegian publication Autofil have tested the Gislaved Nord*Frost 200 at size 205/55 R16 and compared it with eleven similar studded winter tyres.
9-10th place in Dry braking. Same result with Continental. The braking distance was 2.2 meters longer, than the leader.11-12th place in Dry handling.7-9th place in Dry directional stability.10th place in Wet braking. The braking distance was 4.7 meters longer, than the leader.7th place in Wet handling. Gislaved was 1.2 seconds slower, than the leader.4-9th place in Wet handling.1st place and the best result in Snow braking. The braking distance was 1 meter shorter, than the next tyre.7th place in Snow handling. Gislaved was 1.3 seconds slower, than the leader.8th place in Snow handling.2-4th place in Snow traction. The acceleretion time was 0.1 seconds longer, than the leader.10th place in Ice braking. The braking distance was 10.6 meters longer, than the leader.7th place in Ice handling. The tyre was 4.1 seconds slower, than the leader.6th place in Ice handling.10th place in Ice traction. The acceleration time was 1 seconds longer, than the leader.8-9th place in Rolling resistance test. The fuel consumption was 1% bigger, than the leader.1-3rd place in Noise level.
Overall Gislaved Nord Frost 200 test
According to the test results Gislaved took 8-9th place.
Main conclusions:
Relatively good dry braking, average directional stability and the lowest handling.
Relatively good on the wet (tyre didn’t take high positions, but showed close results to leaders).
The best snow braking distance, good handling and traction.
Long ice braking distance, average handling and traction.
