<p>Bought these 12 months ago for rear wheel drive Nissan Elgrand E51
Exceptional in all conditions particularly for the price point.
Went from Kuhmo summers to full set of these and been perfect,
We had quite a bit of snow in the hills of Wales last winter and the rwd van was like a snow plough on these AW6’s</p><p>Highly recommended</p>

<p>Very ,very happy with these tyres especially for the price I paid . The road grip is impressive both in summer and winter conditions,admittedly we have not had a lot of snow where I live ( Kent UK ) but I have been impressed with what I have experienced. Well recommended.</p>

Honda CRV · 215/65 R16 · 24 140 km
★★★★☆

Have these on my 2006 Honda Crv. Also had previous version 607+ , the new tyres are just as good as the old. Handling and response are not the most important part as when the weather is freezing or ice is on the ground I slow down. Traction is great with the AWD rarely cutting in which is surprising as with the original fit Bridgestones it often came on in wet conditions.
Braking is fine ABS has only activated a few times , mainly on sheet ice and black ice. It plows through mud and had no problem with wet grass on a hill in a field, it was noted that a couple of Range Rovers struggled but it appeared their tyres were performance oriented.
Wear seems to be fine , grip in the dry is perfectly acceptable it's not a sportscar so not thrown around.
Price wise significantly cheaper than the top brands, but are they that much lower in performance ?
In conclusion they are an excellent all round tyre which have proved their worth in bad conditions and have been excellent in snow and ice.
P.s. have put a set on the family runaround, 2001 Yaris ..transformed the wet weather grip

Great all rounders, certainly no compromises on previous summer tyres.
Quiet, comfortable, decent wear rate, affordable.
