Good tyre overall without exceptions or extreme results, it came with the car to Greece because it was bought as a used one from France, michelin summer tires replaced them as more appropriate but the firestones did leave a very good impression to summer and winter conditions. It would be a good choice for similar cars, qashqai 1.6 diesel 4x4.

Tables are ranked by TR Score, which rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and owner reviews weighted by how much evidence backs them. Unscored tyres link to their pages, where a review counts towards a score.

Firestone EU label data
17 of the 45 tyres on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tyre's best available size figures.
A Best wet grip
5 tyres reach EU wet grip class A. The highest scoring:
A Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 3 tyres reach rolling resistance class A. The highest scoring:
68dB Quietest tyres
The quietest tyres in the range are labelled from 68 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tyre's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
Very satisfied.
Very nice grip (dry and wet)
Has significantly lowered consumption compared to previous tyres(latitude cross), and dramatically more quiet
After a two years over 100mes speed comes hard wheel shaking, man in tyre service fined a problem, defect tyres and it’s difficult to balance wheels.
very grippy, not very fuel efficient but that's fair.
40k km and still a lot of tread, probably due to very light car
Used in multiple road conditions and seasons, can't say I am really displeased about them, they are fine for the price, decent grip and pretty good fuel economy. During rain you can really estimate the limits of the tire and the car, however these tires are not suited for heavy winter weather, such as ice or snow, the tire, despite its tread, is struggling to find grip and getting the car rolling is quite a difficult task and at medium to low speeds, during said conditions, the car becomes unstable; didn't have enough courage to go faster as the car was feeling like a sled.
Overall they are pretty good if where you live it doesn't snow a lot, they can handle cold temperatures and rain completely fine and summer driving (you must pay attention to braking distances during summer as the tire becomes really soft), as long as you don't overplay your hand too much. Very good on fuel and cheap to buy.
The tires were mounted on a VW Passat B7 Variant 2.0TDI 103KW, 6-speed manual transmission, front wheel drive.
These tires are actually dangerous. They have basically zero grip on dry roads. They don't even have enough grip to activate my ABS they just slide on dry pavement, its 10x worse in the rain. Cornering at normal speeds and the tires start screaming like they are at edge of their grip. I drive a WRX and these tires have seriously handicapped the car. These tires take confidence away from you. A 9 year old set of Hankook's had easily 2x the grip in wet and dry condition. THese are dangerous tires and I cannot recommend them to anyone, I will feel bad when I sell them because they are so dangerous.
