Anyone have all season tyres on their qashqai. Am needing to change all 4 within the next few weeks and looking at options.
I'm thinking about these https://www.tyreleader.ie/car-tyres/han ... 99v-751041 or https://www.tyreleader.ie/car-tyres/vre ... 99v-725674

Yep I have Nokian Weatherproof SUV 215/60 R17 100H DOT 2015, XL (4x4 all season) from Tyreleader.co.uk price including Vat £424.56 for 4

Do not think they do them in your size though.

After fitting them first comments I received was why is the car feel like it is smoother.
Have not had the chance to try them in snow yet but they are excellent in rain and feel no different than my summer tryes did on a sunny warm day.
MPG has increased a little, my old tyres were Michelin so not cheap brand.

Can not say if the wear is better or worse as not had them on long enough to compare yet

Take a look here for some info on your choices

Just a comment on these “All Weather Tyres” over here in Germany since 1st Jan 18 there is now a new Regulation for Winter Tyres in that they have to have the “3 Peaks Mountain Symbol” sign on the Side Wall now not just “M&S”, but there are time allowances.
This is just a point to consider in case there are plans for the EU administrators or the UK - Dave :D

This law is not out in the UK however the Nokian do display the 3 peaks symbol, I think the reason for this is they are made in Finland so more than likely have the same laws there.
Although they are sold in the UK I do not think they are stocked here, I know mine was not I had to wait 48hrs for them to ship with DPD and I tracked them,they came from the Netherlands which is strange considering they do not have a rule in place for winter tyres ( Or so I believe )

apparently tyres that are simple marked with M+S are not suitable for all winter conditions where as the 3PMSF= Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake tyres are suitable for all winter conditions.

I do wish the UK would follow many others and set a rule at least for commercial vehicles over 3.5 ton, these vehicles even only have to have a Tread depth of 1mm was as below 3.5 ton have to be 1.6mm.
Its backwards I drive for a living and when your company want to push the tyres to the last mm,in the winter it can be pretty dangerous.

They have a good rating and they are 3 peak stamped so passed extreme tests
