Good product, not disappointed.

I was seeking for universal tires for an Ixtrail T32, but after 24.02, the selection substantially shrunk and prices shot up. I made the decision to use this rubber instead of the standard rubber, taking 225/65 17 for 10 each cylinder. I put roughly 10,000 kilometers on it, so I can't say anything particularly bad—there was no fire, but there was also no garbage. a decent midranger for all purposes.

Pros

Just for quick escapes from asphalt, universally. Pass by; only for the city or highway. These tires offer the softness/handling balance I require. The balance of 3 of the 4 tires is ideal. Deep tread with durable wear.

Cons

Consumption has increased by 0.5l/100km compared to the previous Yokohama Geolandar rubber (standard for x-trail t32) because it is constantly blocked with pebbles. I don't particularly like the tread pattern; it looks like braided on an inexperienced tire. When the tread is 50% worn out, there may be problems with aquaplaning because there are no breaks in the tread in the shoulder area, which prevents water from escaping from under the center of the contact patch to the sides. One of the tires was balanced on the edge, and I had to mount it "with an explosion" anyhow.
