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.

BFGoodrich Advantage 2 185-65-15 Nissan Versa 7,400 miles October 8, 2026

So I've known these as being the BFGoodrich Advantage Touring tyres, as if sister tyres to the Advantage Control series. That's just branded where I live but I've checked and these "Advantage 2" are the exact same verbatim.

The previous tyres I came from were Ecopia 300s from Bridgestone, and I drive a Nissan Tiida (Versa for the americans) 185/65 r15, and they're very quiet. Especially on a half decent road, I garenteed you'll hear more wind noise than road noise, unless you're on a pretty bad road in which case it's louder but nowhere near unbearable.

The grip from a launch is kinda poor, it doesn't take that much extra throttle to make them squeak a bit from a standstill, but the cornering grip is actually very good, especially so in wet. You can spin the wheels even easier when wet, but the cornering grip of these tyres is pretty decent. Probably worse grip than the Ecopias, but they'll also last longer so it makes sense.

Fuel economy took a somewhat noticable hit with these, though I came from purpose built fuel economy tyres so it's no wonder. I'd say the ride is by far the most improved aspect, especially if you don't overpressure the tyres. The comfort is improved more than road noise, and that's saying something since they are quieter than the Ecopias I believe.

Steering feel can be quite numb, though higher tyre pressure can offset that and improve fuel economy. It'll just make straight line grip somewhat worse.

While I'm low miles on these types I expect them to last forever, I can't actually notice any sort of real wear since I bought them, and while I'm not a crazy driver I haven't exactly been mindful of their wear when driving.

Overall, would recommend if you prioritize comfort and noise reduction a lot, but your fuel economy may take a tiny hit depending on the tempament of your vehicle and don't expect to win any track races or drag races really. They're confident in the wet, though I wouldn't say too confident, and just because they're comfy doesn't mean they're incapable of fun either, just know what you're getting into! They're pretty damn good.

Continental ProContact 185-65-15-T Nissan Versa 500 miles April 27, 2015
ProContactE are noisy tyre from Continental that constantly rumble into the ears of every occupant of the small Versa saloon car. It's not useful feedback, just annoying noise that's always present to interfere with conversation, or spoil the music you want to hear from the stereo. Tyre noise always present while the car is moving, louder on some road surfaces than others.

Through the steering wheel, these tyres feel sort of soggy as well, even on dry tarmac or concrete, whether cruising in a straight lane or sweeping around curves; in fairness they never actually slid off the road, they just felt soft and not precise at all. Yes, they were at the correct pressures recommended by Nissan. On soaking wet roads they seemed more inclined to wander or aquaplane/hydroplane than other tyres on other cars in similar conditions unless speed was reduced. This particular rental car had about 15k miles, with the front Continentals about half worn in comparison to the rear pair, suggesting only 30k miles of useful life if rotated. In the 21st century, there are much better, quieter, grippier tyres to choose than these.

Michelin Energy Saver+ 195-60-15-H Nissan Versa 35,000 miles October 3, 2014
I have Energy saver+ replaced my OEM BS B250 tire since 2013 Mar. It runs 50000 KM since then. Overall it's a better than average tire. After 40,000 km (25 K miles), it becomes more noisy and unpredictable in wet. Until 50,000 km the drain depth is about 3.5 mm, but overall grip lost 30% up. This is very natural in all tyres. It's up to driver to stay with this or replace it to your driving habit. I would say the first 40,000 km, this tyre worth every pence you spent. After 40,000 km, overall performance drops daily and better replace them.
