Spring has already arrived and it’s time to change your tires. A great choice could be the new Gislaved Premium Control tires, which have become a replacement for the German Continental PremiumContact tires in Russia. The tires entered our market last year. “Yuzhny Avtomobil” tested them on the roads of Belarus.
In essence, the Gislaved PremiumControl tires have absorbed all the best qualities of the German Continental PremiumContact 5 tires. Why Continental? The fact is that after the German tire giant left Russia, its successor was the tire holding “Cordiant”, which took over the Continental plant in the Kaluga region.
The plant was renamed Gislaved. Now it continues to produce tires in compliance with all the high quality standards that were laid down by the Germans. After their departure, the Germans left us the Gislaved brand, under which they produce tires, but Cordiant is prohibited from selling them outside of Russia, so the former Continental has now become Gislaved for us.
It is worth understanding that Gislaved in Russia belongs to the premium line of tires. The Gislaved PremiumControl model is designed for drivers who have high demands on comfort and safety. The tires are suitable for both family trips and frequent and long trips around the city and beyond. The tires are available in 13 sizes from 15 to 17 in diameter.
During movement, the flexible sidewall area of the tire in combination with the reinforced bead provides optimal elasticity. The tires have special 3D macroblocks that prevent excessive deformation of the tire. Thus, the car brakes better and accelerates more dynamically, including on wet roads.
At the same time, excellent grip and controllability are ensured during travel, as well as high acoustic comfort. Here everything is as it was with Continental. Longitudinal solid tracks of the tread pattern effectively absorb noise. Noise absorbers in the shoulder area close the noise inside the tread pattern. Longitudinal grooves still provide reliable water drainage.
It should be noted separately that the current Gislaved PremiumControl tires were preceded by ContiPremium Contact 2 tires, which showed the best results in independent tests around the world more than 12 times.
It is worth noting that today, those who want to put quality tires on their car need to take a closer look at the Gislaved Premium Control model, since now there are practically no decent premium tires left on the Russian market after the main players entered the market.
Multiple Chinese companies have flooded the Russian tire market with their fakes, but there are many questions about their quality, as well as safety. In the case of Gislaved PremiumContact, you have the opportunity to purchase proven and reliable tires that will not let you down and will be an excellent replacement for the brands that have passed away.
