15k miles on Mercedes ML350. Understeer took the corners off in Scottish summer driving. Good confidence in snow, rain and general usage. Should not expect a 2t SUV to handle so well and the tyres took the punishment.

Before purchase I liked the idea of a tyre that I could trust in the snow but also performed well in the summer. I confess that, whilst I felt that the Cross Climate 2 / Cross Climate SUV would handle the snow, I worried that it might feel "soft" in warmer weather. Nevertheless, I went ahead.
As a BMW owner I tend to drive like an old man to work, then quite spirited on parts of a journey - then back to motorway speeds on motorways. It was for the moments of spirited driving, especially in hot weather, that I had concerns.
So, after almost 9 months, how have these stacked up? I am impressed, very impressed. Admittedly, last winter I didn't get to test the snow capabilities, but the all important summer, hot days, hot tarmac performance was exemplary. My fears were well and truly cast into the oblivion of potholes of which there are many locally. That brings me to comfort and noise. The tyres proved both quieter and more comfortable than the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's previously fitted, and they, themselves were better than BMW's run-flat choice. So, all in all, a win all around.
Currently, too, wear is good although they have needed one re-balance.
In summary, a great tyre. Hopefully we'll get some snow this winter to try them at the other extreme, but as an excellent, all weather tyre, working well in the cold, in heavy rain and on hot summer days I have no hesitation in recommending them. Would I buy them again if I change vehicle? Absolutely.
Hi, I was very surprised seeing my review (Mondeo mk4 1.6 TDCI with 225/50R17) on the top but now after almost a year I have to update my opinion. I wouldn't buy these tires again. Maybe I have only bad luck. This summer when passing through a wet roundabout I felt all 4 wheels slipping which has never happened on any other tires even when I provoked my Mondeo into such situations (Mondeo is really stable). After reaching the destination I looked at the tires. They are looking old. 9 months tires look like 3 years winter Nokians (made in Russia) or 5-8 years standard tires. Goodyear Gen2 (5-6 years?) on my wife's car looks similar as 9 months Bridgestone. This was my first tire complaint in my life. I've never had to make a tire claim before. What did I learn from the complaint letter? I don't ride enough to expose subsequent layers of rubber (about 20.000km a year) and that they sell me a night tire (I heard about winter, summer and all-weather but this first time I heard about nights tire). Night - because they said that I have overexposed the tire to sunlight. But for God's sake, the side of the tire is ideal and sun almost don't reach the tread (I've got Econetic with factory lowered suspension). What's more I've got a underground garage at work... I've posted here a picture from a complaint letter (picture done by Bridgestone) so that it is not said that I chose the worst place of the worst tire's tread. I'm afraid I bought the tires too early and they messed something up in the compound. The tire still is great on dry and OK on wet except for the bends. But I can't drive straight all the time, and I would like to feel confident when cornering on wet.

Substituting the Michelin Crossclimate2 previously mounted, the benefits are very clear: less noise, more grip, super balanced, less rolling resistance.
The question marks are now the behavior in snow and ice, and the duration.
Everyday drive tyres, coming from a Michelin Pilot Sport 4 I used before, the first impression is the Pirelli lack precision and reactivity; however, always at a first glance, they are far more grippier. After more than one year, I can confirm the great grip in all the driving situations I encountered, through all the seasons and all type of roads, from southern Italy to Denmark. The Pirelli Cinturato SF2 is also comfortable in noise, and rolling smoothly, both characteristic essential for EVs. The only feature that is lacking here is the BSW.
Coming from Continental's Eco Contact6 to these Pirellis, first impressions after a couple hundred km:
-Even though the Continentals were 4 years old and only ran for about 13k km during their lifespan, the dry grip was better than the Pirrelis, which I was not expecting.
Even so, I am satisfied with their performance
-Wet grip has improved, they seem very good so far, but I'm waiting to "measure" the performance when it gets cold outside. So far the temps here in Romania haven't dropped under 15c where I live
-Comfort: Noise is very good, but not as comfortable as the Continentals. Even so, I prefer lower noise and a harder tire. Steering feedback seems to have improved, but given the Dacia's weird steering system, this may be placebo.
-Haven't had the chance to test snow yet, nor icy roads
Overall I am satisfied with the purchase, and I'm looking to update this review once I get to spend some more time on them.
I'm also debating switching to these on my 4motion Passat
Hankook Kinergy 4S2 rated
78% while driving a Honda Jazz

Extremely well performing tire in all conditions, if you don't push it too hard (especially when the temperatures are in the 30s). They're a very good fit for my Hybrid Jazz, that I drive in Swiss weather all year long; lots of wet and cold don't make the tires feel unsafe in any circumstance; even snow performance is acceptable. The noise levels are also quite good, and the wear is surprisingly low without much of an ageing effect of the rubber. I am now at 38000 miles and there is still quite a lot of tread available. Considering the price of this tire is at least 30% lower than the premium brands (Bridgestone, Michelin...) and that for my car Pirelli and Continental are not available, I am finding it very hard to buy another tire for my car! Exceptional tire for the price.

The tires are unimpressive at just about anything. Dry traction and grip are acceptable, noise/comfort is fine. Wet traction and grip are underwhelming, and snow traction is pretty bad.
They are wearing extremely quickly, and are down to about 20% tread after only 25,000 miles. These are supposedly a 70,000 mile tire. These tires are daily driven on the highway as part of my wife's commute. They're not abused, they've been rotated every 5,000 miles. We had the alignment checked to make sure nothing was out of spec because they are wearing so much more quickly than expected. I will definitely not be buying another set of these. There are several other tire options that are better than these Nexens in literally every category.
I absolutely love these tyres, I’ve always had summer budgets/mid ranges on the van and have been caught in snow a few times in winter and nearly come a cropper, let me tell you I will never go back to budget/mid range summer tyres ever again! these are so much more refined, comfortable and by Jove they’re grippy plus my mpg has gone from 61.7 to 65!
top marks to continental I am one happy customer.
Too many people here review the tires new.
The initial impression was wow.
After a 1000km the fronts were severly hurt by mild summer driving. I drive A4 b9 2.0tdi FWD and the fronts look bad already (5k km). Someone also mentions this here. The rear look like new. I dont think they will last me good 20k meaning new tires after 2 years.
Comfort and noise is 9/10 but wear i gave 1/10 since I've never seen anything so soft and wearprone. They are litteraly pieces of tread falling off the pattern.
Handling is fine in dry and wet but this tire cannot get my recommendation.
I've looked on multiple other cars and the wear on driving wheels is bad with pieces of tread missing.
I thought mayve I got a bad batch so I should return them but after seing other i lost all hopes.
Attached image is with 1000km.
Hello, after watching many tests, I decided on the conti ASC2, I am satisfied with it in all respects, I have not tested the snow and ice but I am sure it will be great. The huge disappointment comes from the wear of the tires. I have them on 2 vehicles.
A 2008 Scenic (2 tires mounted at the front in) 195-65-15 95V DOT 24 made in Slovakia and a Clio 4 mounted in 185-65-15 88H DOT 24 made in France with 4 tires
At the start the sculptures at the maximum were 7.7 mm for the 6 Neus.
After having driven 5300 km on the Scenic I have 6.2 mm left at the front (loss of 1.5 mm), at the rear they are Goodyear
After having driven only 1300 km with the Clio I have 7.2 mm left (-0.5 mm) at the front and 7.5 at the rear.(-0.2 mm)
I check my pressures every month, I am meticulous.
The wear is very high on both cars.
My driving is very smooth and I don't do motorway.
In the tests the conti was the best in longevity.!!
I continue my analysis as the km go by
Have you noticed quite high wear on your ASC2.
Thank you for reading me

It was because watching these testing videos I am on my second set of 205/60R16 NA CC2 tires and also on a 21+ old mini van with different sizes. Frist set of H-Speed I drove them for 59,000 miles/95,000 KM with 50% tire wear & sold them used before the warranty was up for 50% of the purchased price. Second set is V-Speed due to H-Speed not available at Costco, 28,000miles/45,000Km so far (one rear tire were punctured @ 25,500 miles/41,000 KM & replaced with a new tire based on 5-year Pro-rated replacement warranty and paid $19.29 USD Tax-in since only ~1mm of 10mm was worn out) . The Micheline X-Ice Xi3 I had on the same vehicle before which required paying twice a year to swap our for storage is no longer needed.
As a mild FWD HEV driver that usually drives/coast/avoid full red light stops when possible within 60 miles/100 KM speed limit genteelly around hilly country roads & some highways, the rolling resistance & excellent aquaplaning resistance (great with water & slushy snow) provides great return millage:
Summer average H-Speed: 61.16 US-MPG / 73.46 UK-MPG / 26.00 KM/L / 3.85 L/100 KM
Summer average V-Speed: 58.81 US-MPG / 70.63 UK-MPG / 25.00 KM/L / 4.00 L/100 KM - average may improve as the tires treads wears down & gets lighter
Winter Average H-Speed: 55.28 US-MPG / 66.40 UK-MPG / 23.5 KM/L / 4.26 L/100 KM
Winter Average V-Speed: 52.93 US-MPG / 63.57 UK-MPG / 22.5 KM/L / 4.44 L/100 KM - average may improve as the tire treads wears down & gets lighter / 1300W Heater activates ICE effects MPG
5%-10% better handling in server wet & dry driving speed is a second importance to me based on my driving styles so CC2 does more than just fine. Based on my location risk assessments, the worst condition to have any accident and getting help even just for once would be in the wintery condition for me as I have driven through combinations of ice, freezing rain, wet snow storm and 1~1.5 ft of unplowed packed snow & plowed snowbanks all on the same day a few times so CC2 meets my need the most. I had drove through a few ~6" flooded roads and CC2 did amazingly as long as I drive slowly with common sense. The factory Micheline Energy Saver A/S equipped on many HEV are only great in millage in warm weather, only good on straight dry roads, needs to SLOW WAY DOWN in wet and a FULL DEATH TRAP in snow & ice.
The best benefit I did not expect when switching to a set of All-Weather 3PMSF (snow flak symbol) insurance discount approved tires is during temperature swings, sometimes over 68F/20C within the day, day to day or back & forth between weeks especially during the beginning & the end of the winter months. I used to regrade often changing the tires too early or too late when temperature changes dramatically like from 14F/ -10C to 59F/ 15C in one day especially when ice forming on the road overnight and warm up in the afternoon and back to freezing in the night. Now I just make sure the tires are rotated every 6,000 miles/10,000 KM (front/back for directional tires), tire pressure meets the temperature range throughout the day/week with a portable battery/12V tire pressure pump, get in the car and drive without any worries of ice, snow, rain or sun!
Thank you again for these excellent tire test videos and the dedication you have put yourself into helping us to avoid accidents and save lives on the road. If possible, if you could also make the same tests on all theses tires ware down to 2mm... It would be first of it's kind &... EPIC (not sure some of the tire manufactures would be very pleased thought but... we will!)!
