Nokian Line rated 40% while driving a BMW 520i
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 average miles
Two seasons without any problem. The surprise came the third season. The tires worn down from 6.5 to 4.5mm only for 2500km. Then they became bad on dry and dangerous on wet. Even on a little wet the car became slippery. Performance was so poor, that i got an emergency suspension check and everything was ok, so the problem was only Nokian! Bye again - never ever Nokian.

Bridgestone Supercat rated 46% while driving a Toyota Hi ace swb van
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I found these alright in the dry and shocking in the wet. I had these fitted on both my hiace and corona. Wet grip was useless on hills, takeoffs and cornering. Road noise was the worst of any car tire i have used. They felt like my car was wearing gumboots 3 sizes 2 big!
They did wear well, about 5mm left after 30,000km on the van, also they handle gravel roads well. Absolutely usless on wet grass and mud.

Primewell PS860 rated 54% while driving a Chevrolet 2000 Impala
Driving on a combination of roads for 42 average miles
drove past warranty (4yrs. trouble-free ); handled well,both dry and wet. Key to success is proper tire pressure according to owner's manual, and regular rotation. Just purchased another set today-1-20-17

Triangle TR928 rated 74% while driving a Kia Motors Sedona LE Auto
Driving on mostly motorways for 1507 average miles
Had two Triangle CNTT GLS TR928 TYRES speed rated H100 fitted to front (drive) wheels on 2005 Kia Sedona. 8mm new tread depth, driven 1507 miles, 70℅ of these motorway. Overall a decent budget to mid-range tire and good value. Tire + valve + balance + fit = paid £45.00 each tire. Checked wear at 1507 miles & still at 8mm. Previous 'performance' tires rotated to rear so expected reduced response on steer but no noticeable difference. Likewise with grip on dry roads where grip was very good. Grip on wet - when stopping and cornering I noted a little reduction in performance but not to where I would feel unsafe. When setting off on a wet road performance is poor, particularly on an incline where any excess engine speed causes tires to slip, even on my Sedona which is an automatic?? Road noise slightly increased, particularly on concrete sections of motorway but not excessive. Comfort- when first fitted I felt the steering quite hard and wasn't happy feeling every lump and bump on an uneven surface. Checked tire pressures to find tire fitters had grossly over-inflated to 52lb PSI. Once reduced to manufactures recommended pressure there was a huge improvement. TIP: Reduced by a further 4lb PSI & improved grip on wet road when setting off and tire is far from being 'under-inflated. On a budget I would recommend this tire.

Michelin Energy XM2 rated 64% while driving a Honda CRV
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
these tires are quite worth the price for the qualities it has. economy wise abit of improvement hardly noticable. comfort is very good at first when new nearly no noise but now after awhile starting to get noisier. grip levels are good but its fitted on an suv so yea.. tread wear still very good even though this car has been known to eat tires because of its small width and heavy weight.

Marangoni Verso rated 93% while driving a Toyota granvia
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
THE BAD: I have had the Verso xl on a ford escort and OMG were they bad, wheel spin and slide on corners, the car came with them and I have to ask what fool put Xl (extra load) tires on a escort. too stiff in sidewall = loss of grip/traction

THE GOOD: Have them on a Toyota Granvia 3.4 petrol V6 Trd supercharged van converted to camper, so weight is around 2000kg. they are absolutely the best tire for a heavy vehicle, I can corner harder, body roll is reduced, generally it has stiffened things up and reduced understeer greatly which was my want. I run them at 39/41psi as xl tires need higher pressure.
they are a bit louder than some.

ONLY run XL tire if your load/weight is higher than average and they will flex and grip enough and you will get great wear.
Put XLs on a light fwd car and you may as well just run on your rims

Nankang N607 rated 87% while driving a Lancia Phedra 2.2 Diesel Common Rail
Driving on a combination of roads for 21700 average miles
Excellent tires, driven for 35000km, without any problem, I'm now @ the m+s indicator: buy on Jan 2011 I'm now ready for second set.
On winter time are really close to the season tire, during summer the only defect is that are little noisy on roundabout, but consumption is acceptable (I normally change tires between 30000 to 40000km).
Price is very low in IT: 62-70€ per tire (215/65 R15) therefore I'll re-buy the same.

Nankang XR611 rated 81% while driving a Mazda Bongo Friendee
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 spirited miles
On my third set of these now, as I found them to be spot on. They are fitted to a Mazda Bongo 4wd, which use to chew through van tires (due to load rating needed) every 10000 miles. These XR611's have been great. I am getting 30k miles from a set,(done around 120k miles in 6 years of ownership) and have never had any problems in the wet. I've had no problems with them off road or on snow either.....although I have Nankang snow tires for winter use now...I hope to get a chance to use them this year!
