I am satisfied, the product fully corresponds to the description.

I was looking for universal tires for Ixtrail T32, after 24.02 the choice decreased significantly, and prices increased significantly. I decided to take this rubber in the amount of 225/65 17 for 10 per cylinder, while normal rubber remains in general . I drove about 10 thousand km on it, I can’t say anything particularly bad, not fire, but definitely not garbage. A good general purpose midranger.

Pros

Universal, for easy exits from asphalt - that's it. Purely for the city / highway - pass by. These tires have the balance of softness/handling that I need. 3 out of 4 tires are perfectly balanced. Deep and wear-resistant tread.

Cons

Constantly clogged with pebbles, consumption has risen by 0.5l / 100km compared to the previous Yokohama Geolandar rubber (standard for x-trail t32). The tread pattern is a la braided for an amateur, I don’t really like it. Because in the shoulder area, the tread is without breaks - then water cannot escape from under the center of the contact patch to the sides - there may be issues with aquaplaning when the tread is worn off by 50%. 1 of the four tires was balanced on the edge, and besides, I had to put it on "with an explosion"
