2012 Auto Express Summer Tire Test P4 of 8

The new Nokian xLine, due at the end of this year, put in an extremely strong performance to joint 4th place. Best in every test in the wet, and 2nd in the dry, the new Xline was let down by an average aquaplaning result and a poor rolling resistance

Winner: Goodyear EfficientGrip

Put on the car at 135000km sold car at 172000km still had 4mm of thread on them, but had circumference cracks, I put the "as recommended by Subaru" tire pressure 2.3bar front 2.2bar rear, but according to Nokian it recommends 2.6 front and 2.5 rear, would be nice if someone/anyone advised of this,
Great tire though, not a bother in snow or winter maybe the Subaru complimented them,
