Gislaved Nord Frost II vs. Blizzak WS-50 Posted by Randy Thatcher [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I just changed out the summer tires and put my Blizzaks on my SPG and Gislaveds on my 9-3. Both have 1 year of use on them. I remember the Blizzaks being GREAT in snow and ice, but mushy on dry pavement. I have never driven on Gislaveds, ever. The tires were used from a former 9-3 owner. Anyway, I had to try the Gislaveds on the dry pavement to see how they work, and they're pretty darn good. I can feel they're "soft" and I "got rubber" in 2nd gear as I gunned it, but they have similar road manners to my all-seasons when on dry pavement. They'll get about 600 miles this week with holiday driving, so maybe I'll encounter snow, ice, or rain. If they perform like the blizzaks in the nasty weather, but aren't the mushy tires on the dry pavement, you'll know my preferred winter tire.
