The most recent reviews, in their own words
Pretty good for the price. Endured various kinda of driving over different surfaces, decent grip in the dry, very reasonable when wet! Did not test in the snow - don't really get much snow here.
Nissan XTrail 25,000 klms 2 years. Tires worn out needed replacing
Driven for about 4 seasons and 60000 km/ 38000 miles. Wear was ok. Grip on wet and dry road was “not great, not terrible”

After continental eco contact tires, felt no any difference. Good handling and braking. No any ESP light on dashboard.
