Very happy about the noise. No noise at all till 120-130km/h. Very durable, been on rocks etc no problem, excellent grip on dry, no problem on wet, i just didnt force them on the limit. Experience on gravel was very good, very nice grip. i didnt test them on ice, been a few times on snow with no problem.I think i need 0,5l/100km more diesel

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 X Trail drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Only can used in within 1year. After that on your risk. 2x accident. 1st when wet road. 2nd when hot weather.
As a rideshare driver who spends five days a week on the road, I specifically sought what I believed would be professional advice on the most suitable tire for this type of work. I trusted the recommendation I was given.
While I only had the initial 10,000 km tire rotation completed by Bridgestone, my own mechanic subsequently carried out two further rotations, balancing, and wheel alignments to ensure the tires were maintained correctly.
These tires were fitted when my vehicle's odometer reading was 249,648 km. I was shocked when, during a recent service, my mechanic called to advise that three tires were already at the minimum legal tread depth and the fourth was very close. My current odometer reading is 284,434 km, meaning these tires have lasted less than 35,000 km.
I believe most people would agree that this is an appalling lifespan for a set of tires that were specifically recommended for a high-mileage rideshare vehicle.
I am not someone who enjoys confrontation, especially given my previous experience with this business. I had taken my vehicle to them to investigate a persistent squealing noise. I was advised that the brake pads fitted elsewhere only two months earlier were of poor quality and that I should replace them with their supposedly superior Brembo Disc Pad Set Nao Ceramic pads, which I did.
Unfortunately, the squealing noise remained. I was then told the issue was likely the wheel bearings. Seeking a second opinion, I took the vehicle elsewhere and discovered the actual cause was a cover plate rubbing on an aluminum differential housing near the tailshaft connection.
Based on my experiences with both the tire recommendation and the misdiagnosis of the squealing issue, my advice to anyone considering this business is simple:
LOOK ELSEWHERE.
100k plus for the 4 tires. Still 20% left at the rear and 25% at the front tires. Wonderful quality right?
I do have an appointment to fit another set of 4 soon. Recommend to buy.
For the price, I think it's the best tire you can get with such comfort and grip.
Driven around 3500km so far and no sign of wear on the tire. I think it will last for long.
