'05 Nissan Primera 2.0 estate WP12 driving variably.Excellent dry and wet grip. 36.000 miles in 4 years .4 European trip on autobahn 130mph and still above 2.5 mm.I can only recommend them.Bought them on introductory price £85 a corner but price went up to £100-140 depending on load and speed rating.

A very good all-round tire. I have done 40,000 miles in 4 years and there's still a few thousand left in them. I'm down to about 3mm and looking to change them before the winter. The price is the only thing putting me off a bit (in view of looking to sell the car next year?) but otherwise they speak for themselves.
