Driving on a combination of roads for 50000 miles
Fitted at 65k miles. Transformation. Now at 115k... still looking good. Awesome. Agree with the other reviews, plus want to say they last astonishingly well (UK)

Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 average miles
Compared to Continental Vanco 2 I can say that these tyres feel much softer with better feeling and more comfortable with less noise. Possibly a bit less fuel consumption as well. Very good grip and nice to drive in the dry, also fine on gravel. Average grip on wet tarmac but, importantly, still giving good feedback. Seems like they wear somewhat more than the super-durable Contis, but for me, driving maybe 20000 km a year, better comfort and handling are well worth it. Also they cost less.

Writing about the Nexen N Blue 4 Season given 89% (215-75-16-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 15000 spirited miles
I've got the 8 ply commercial version on a XLWB Ford Transit and driven 15000 miles on them in under a year with little wear which is great for an all season. Currently in Eastern Europe driving daily on snow and ice and I'm really impressed. I first used Nexan's on a BMW 330D M-Sport and was really impressed with them in the wet. Wet: I had Avon's on the van before which were very unpredictable in the wet. They'd only been on the van a year so barely worn, but in the wet there was no warning which is why I changed them. The Nexan's solved that problem. I'm still cautious due to how the Avon's performed, but so far I've not had this issue with the Nexan's after 10 months. Dry: It's a van so cant say much for dry performance. Fuel: On multiple 2000 mile trips across Europe, fuel consumption between the Avon's and Nexan's is about the same. 6 fuel stops for both tyres. Snow: Amazing. Lots of feel while braking, and steering is great. Front and Rear traction are well balanced with enough feel to be confident and enjoy the drive rather than worry. Any slide is progressive and controllable assuming normal driving speed. I'm honestly surprised how well an all-season does compared to a full winter. Ice: Nothing short of a studded tyre is going to work well on ice, but so far I've not got stuck on ice with the Nexans unlike the Avons. Moderate inclines are no problem, but I've not attempted from a standing start. On my drive with ice - not a problem unlike myself that fell. Buy Again: Yes - I already bought a second set of 5 for future use. Summary: For a van, these tyres give a lot of feel and confidence. On snow it almost becomes fun rather than stressful as the van is so predictable and controllable.

Driving on mostly country roads for 400 spirited miles
Disappointed in these tyres overall got them to replace some budgets. They do grip better then the budget tyres but the biggest problem I have is the lack of steering feel and floating sensation! Like others have said not a sporty tyre at all! These may improve with more miles on them and I need to adjust pressures to see if this makes a difference. Just can’t get on with these tyres don’t feel me with confidence, so I’m swapping them on to the back.

I have the snow max 2 on my Ford transit 2.2 TDCI 155. They are doing impeccable well. The van is always loaded. These are a 8 ply commercial tyre.
Would I buy again? Yes I will in deed.
