Quiet, great in the wet, snow and dry. Excellent wear characteristic, no cupping or odd wear. I tow with is, not often. I use as a commuter and long trips, off road on my farm. 2006 Nissan Aramada. I have had several different tires, these are by far the best, worst was BF Goodrich and Cooper. Both loud from the start, terrible in the wet and on the road.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Nissan 2002 patrol drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I've been using Crossclimate 2 tires on my 2019 Nissan Leaf SL Plus for the last couple of years. It's the car my daughter was driving and she would constantly complain about wheel slip on wet roads. I really only drove the car in the afternoons when the roads had dried and I saw no issue with the tires, they're great on dry roads. (This car was left parked in bad snowy weather, so I don't really have an ice/snow impression.)
That daughter is off to college now, so I've been driving this car some mornings and I feel very bad about ignoring her complaints. On something as simple as a steep road, you can feel the car's traction control trying to stop the wheels from spinning. Any sort of wet road driving, even something as simple as driving out of a carwash, it a dicey proposition. It seems though that it's an issue of the tires not being able to stand up to the torque coming from the electric motor and goes to just two tires, braking doesn't seem that bad, but all four wheels are slowing the car then.
Given that Seattle is heading into wet weather, I'm getting rid of these tires now even though they probably could last another 20,000 miles.
A kind of double-faced tire, excellent in snow, average in dry conditions, and acceptable in wet conditions for the first two years... The third winter has been a pain on wet, acceptable in dry conditions, and still good in snow. Replaced after 48,000 km, the tread is still good, but grip (as mentioned) is terrible in wet conditions hence I rather move to new tires
Ordered a set of 4 Nankang Econex NA-1 165/70 R12 T (77) tires for a Nidsan Figaro in March 2023 from Black Circles. After 7,000 miles all 4 tires have cracked in the treads and I have just files a warranty claim with Black Circles regarding this
Bought these for my wife’s Nissan… after just shy of 5,000 miles they are both almost bald. Please note the car’s tracking is perfect and tires are equally worn all over.. they give poor feedback, low dry grip and shocking wear, wife also complains that the skid warning light comes on more often with these.. bought her these budget tires to get her car through the MOT, never expected them to need replacing after just 5k miles?!?!
In 2017 I bought 4 new tires for my classic high performance sedan. Size 225/50 R15 for the car. These tires were quiet, grippy and very comfortable.
Because the car is limited use they still look new. I run tire pressure at psi to limit rolling resistance and to help with sidewall flex under hard cornering.
The Sonars SX608's are a great tire for summer driving but winter wet road could be better. When they do break loose, they are predictable and easy to bring the car back into control.
The tires are now 8 years old and still have 92% of their tread left. They still drive as good as the day I fitted them. I'm looking to replace them because of age. There are no signs of cracking or splitting but because the car is rare I can't risk a tire blowout and damaging the car or worse.

I bought these tires from a dealer in starbuck mb and they told me they would be better in snow and ice than my geolander all weather tires had been. Well that was a big lie these tires are not good in snow and ice i have had all season radials that were better than these. I am driving along the other day on white ice on the highway with a strong wind. The tires are so poor that my titan was blowing sideways that is down right dangerous it took me in a store parking lot 50 feet to stop in slushy snow from 15 mph. if you need good tires for winter don't buy these I am not sure how they can have the mountain peak snow symbol
I was looking forward to the release after seeing the reviews on this site. It will be sold in Japan from 2024, so I had to wait about two years, and I thought about buying parallel imports, but I put on the genuine product and was impressed with how it drove.
I have an NV36 Skyline sedan, and my previous tires were Eagle F1A3, and I drove 30,000 km on it.
I also have Bridgestone Reguno GR-XI 225/55R17 tires, which have low grip and sports performance, but have a good reputation for comfort.
I put on this Reguno and then the Eagle F1A6 18-inch size, but the comfort was the same in a good way, and the grip performance was so good that I couldn't see the limit area, and even knowing the previous reputation, I couldn't hide my surprise. I don't know of any other tire that combines performance that I thought was impossible to combine like this tire.
Even BS's S007 and Michelin's PS5 do not have this kind of performance despite their high prices.
If I was asked to find anything I'm not happy with, I'd say it's that pebbles stick to the tires, which is typical of high-grip tires, and that the feeling when transitioning from a long straight to a corner feels a little strange because the feeling changes from a comfort tire to a sports tire. I think we need to spread the word more about how great this tire is, especially in Japan.

These were on the car when I bought it and fairly new with 6mm tread,
They are the WORST wet grip tires I have ever experienced, in fact they are positively DANGEROUS,
even in damp weather they slip and slide under moderate cornering.
When hitting puddles at speed they grab and pull to that side and full concentration is needed.
If you value your life DO NOT buy these tires.
I am booked in for 4 new Michelins on Monday I only hope it doesn't rain before then
Dry grip is good, wet grip is decent, haven't been able to test them too much in the rain. They grip good, slightly above the Yokohama S.Drives I had prior, and doesn't seem to overheat as quickly as the Yokos. However, they look like they are not as wide as the Yokos, they have a more rounded tread pattern, and they are HORRIBLE at feedback and on driver inputs. My car felt like a gokart when it had the Yokos, even after they were 3 years old with only half of its tread left due to excessive camber, and now it feels like a small bus. The steering is vague, really, really vague, inputs take a fair while until the car reacts. These tires are good in the sense of dry grip, but they just aren't confidence inspiring, seeing as you can't really tell how the car is going to react, and that it takes a lot of time until the car reacts to your input.
They are cheap, and for easy going to medium-fast driving I would recommend them, but for fast driving, I seriously can't. I regret buying these tires
