Watched Tyre Reviews roundup of the latest All Season tyres and so I've gone for the 255/45/R18 and the new Continental All Season Contact 2s.

Will report back when they're fitted and I've had a chance to drive on them a bit.

Been thinking of putting these on the Qashqai, wasn't originally intending to keep it so didn't bother putting anything special on it tyre wise, so interested what your impressions are.

Though if the weather isn't great I try and take the pickup instead but still.

Where did you get them from? The only place I can find them in my size is at National Tyre.

Are Maxxis tyres a decent brand?

Are Maxxis tyres a decent brand?

They used to be for mountain bike tyres back when I did a lot of riding (may still be), can't say I've ever spoken to anyone that's fitted their car tyres. Take that as you will.

Only place I've encountered them is on our larger trucks at work, they probably wouldn't fit them if they were entirely rubbish.

ASDA Tyres and Black Circles had them in my size — then I called a local fitter, and they price-matched BC.

Ah cool, thanks. They don’t have my size listed at all

I'd say mid-range but depends on which in the range you choose. I've had one or two in the past - for example many years ago I had the MA Z1 Victra.

Maybe because they're new, they don't have them in every size yet?

Might be worth calling your local tyre fitter and seeing if they can get them in.

Victra Sport 5.

Are Maxxis tyres a decent brand?

Slightly above budget tyres (Taiwan) but okay for that category. In fact they have been known to put some premium tyres to shame in tests.

The Maxxis Premitra HP5 has capped a run of impressive tyre test results by winning Swedish magazine Vi Bilägare’s 225/45 R17 contest. The flagship global brand of Taiwanese manufacturer Cheng Shin beat premium tyres from Goodyear (EfficientGrip Performance 2 in second), Continental...

Need to replace all 4 tyres and got the hankook Kinergy 4S2 last weekend. Only have them for two days and already feel better ride and much quieter.

Also have another two options bridgestone all season 6 and maxxis all season. Don't want maxxis and bridgestone I have to order so ended up with hankook.
