The car was bought in 2018 and it had 4 tigar winter tires on it, the tires are from 2015 rear and 2016 front.
The car was driven moderately, but I tried to skid a couple of times in dry and wet conditions and failed.
It wasn't so good in the snow, but I can't say that there were many skids and the tire is really fantastic.
I hope that they will not spoil the mixture in production. I will definitely buy it again.

What drivers say about their 180/65 R15 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Die Reifen scheinen JEDEN Kiesel von der Straße aufzusaugen, egal ob auf Asphalt oder Schotter. Einige bleiben im Profil hängen, bis man Spitzengeschwindigkeiten erreicht, und dann… gibt´s einen lauten Knall in der Karosserie.
Andererseits: sehr gut bei trockenem Wetter, außergewöhnlich bei Nässe, komfortabel, niedriger Rollwiderstand, was in geringer Geräuschentwicklung und niedrigem Spritverbrauch resultiert. Ich freue mich schon auf etwas Schnee und Eis.

they seem to pick up EVERY pebble on the road surface, be it tarmac or gravel. Some don't get away from the tread until very high speed is reached and when they do, well... a solid bang in the bodywork is what happens.
Otherwise, very good in the dry, exceptional in the wet, comfortable, low rolling resistance, translating both into low noise and good fuel consumption. Looking forward for some snow and ice.

Hi,
I listed my tires as Conti TS830 as they are from the same stable but they are in fact Gislaved Nordfrost.
Yesterday morning I had to drive my Citroen Picasso from Rugby to London and back. Unfortunately (for others, not me) the central section of my journey through Buckinghamshire & Bedfordshire the M1 was down to 1 lane & temperature dropped to minus 7 . When that lane slowed to 40 MPH I pulled into lane 3 on 2-3 inches of dirty snow. I drove the next 20 miles almost on my own at least 10MPH faster - often more, than those stuck in lane 2. I was eventually joined by one of the many Range Rovers I had overtaken and a German registered Passat - obviously on snow tires too. I am now retired (from the tire trade) why do so few people in UK realize that they need these tires in the winter. It is a win win situation.

Where this data comes from
Owner ratings are submitted through the review form on this site, naming the tire, the size and the distance covered, and are checked by hand before publication. Test results come from independent published tire tests indexed by size, and label values from the EU EPREL database.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
