Fitment comes from each tyre'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.

Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2 185-65-15 Nissan Note 1.5 dci 60,000 miles October 14, 2026

These tyres were still on the car when sold and had performed admirably in the whole time I had them. I got just shy of 40K miles from the fronts when they were replaced with the newer G3 variant, while the rears were still good at over 50K. And I understand the Vector All Season 4 is even better.

Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2 185-65-15-H Nissan Note 1.5 dci 15,000 miles July 29, 2018
Moved over to all seasons because of the potential expense of running two sets of tyres with a tyre pressure monitoring system. Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons the choice because I find the compromise in winter far greater than any loss of performance in summer. Extremely pleased with these tyres as they proved their worth during the 'Beast from the East' when snow was thick on the ground, but the car never lost traction. During the summer there has been no appreciable loss of grip, and of particular note is the excellent wear rate. Fronts are at 15,000 miles with at least 6mm of tread left. Rears seem to have barely worn at all. No hesitation in recommending or saying I would buy again.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact 225-45-17- Nissan Note 1.5 dci June 17, 2018
Very quite tyres and very comfortable especially in bad roads.My second car is a Nissan note dci and the dimension of the tyres is 185-65-15.After 40000km with continental premium 5 I change them with Goodyear and I was astonished with the lower noise level and from the comfort driving.Ok in high speeds in highways continental is a bit better tyre but not so balanced as Goodyear.

Dunlop SP Sport 2030 185-55-16-H Nissan Note 1.5 dci 10,000 miles April 1, 2015
Changed from Conti as fitted when new.
Much more comfortable and give better handling - but Oh dear - the fuel consumption down from 62 to 55 mpg. Back to Contis I feel next time

Hifly HF805 185-50-16- Nissan Note 1.5 dci 600 miles October 25, 2014
To be honest I didn't really check these out before buying them but what a great choice!
Grip in the dry is very good but in the wet they are fantastic. Yes they will lose traction eventually but you have to go quite mental to do so.

I previously had continental tyres on the car & they honestly didn't grip as well as these, especially in the wet.

They also have very good integrated rim protection.

I have a set of Infinity tyres on my other car (BMW 5 series) which are quite bad in the wet so I'll be replacing them with these!

Forceum HEXA 185-55-16-V Nissan Note 1.5 dci 15,000 miles September 26, 2014
The worst tyres I've ever driven on in over 45 years.

No grip whatsoever in snow, very little grip in wet and if standing water is more than 1 mm deep they aquaplane. So bad I have to drive like a granny in bad weather.

I've had more grip on bald tyres than with these when almost new.

Continental Premium Contact 2 185-55-16-V Nissan Note 1.5 dci 12 miles July 22, 2012
Overall noise and grip fine, but wear rate to great.21,000km and the dealer says new tyres any day now. Funnily enough the rear seem to have worn quicker than the front ; though all have worn very evenly across tread.

Barum Brillantis 2 175-65-15- Nissan Note 1.5 dci June 11, 2012
good value... £189 for four fitted, ride appears to be quieter and steering feels firmer, looked round at several 'no name' makes but went for these because of the makers qualitity other range
