Our parts manager brought in some obscure winter tires I have never heard of before, Gislaved Nordfrost 100's. Knowing nothing about them, never hearing of them, and without researching them I did what I normally do with things.... bought them and promptly had them installed them on my car.
Holy crap these things are ridiculously grippy. I have had everything from Nokian Hakkapellita's to Pirelli Snow Sports, to Michelin Pilot Alpens, and I have never had a grippier winter tire.
I then did my research, and they are a German made Continental Group tire, and have a bit of a cult following in Europe. So I can add it to the list of obscure, weirdo, impossible to spell tire brands I have had on my cars. Would definitely recommend.
