Are you sure you mean Nokia? I'd always thought they were more telecommunications

Hello. I have a XC60 D5 AWD. Only had it one year. I put Michelin latitude cross tyres on. Not cross climates!£540 for four all in. Ran them for one year. I bought an AWD for my needs. I fish and shoot a lot.
They have done very well. All terrain they are designed for and they do it in spades.
I will buy again.

I was running Cross Climate 2's until recently. When replacement time came I went for Hankook Kimergy 4S2's, seeing as in most tests they outperformed the cross climate 2s by a small margin.

Very happy so far, theyre much quieter, and over £150 chraper for 4 than cross climates.

Incorrect. Nokian were founded in the 1800s, taking their name from the nearby Nokianvirta river.

Nokia, who took their name from the town of the same name, took control of Nokian in 1967.

Therefore the Nokia name came later, not earlier, and Nokian were not formerly know as Nokia.

That very good I’m no longer a member tho….. is the offer still on?

Hmmmmmnow if was £50 difference that’s one thing but £100+ and quieter……..
How did cross climates last? I’m expecting to get 30k from them at least have nearly 60k between the oem contis and a part used set of Nokians (I’ll put Nokia’s as that’s what was on the sidewall)

The CC's had worn from new to 3 mm on the front, a little better on the rear in about 22,000 on my XC90, which will be a little heaver than yours. The original Pirellis went a little longer, but were frankly shocking tyres - the car felt like a one legged cat burying a turd on a frozen pond with the Pirellis, but the CC's and latterly the Hankooks are much more assured, oarticularly in the wet.

The bulk of that mileage would have ben distance driving as I generally cycle or use one of my motorbikes locally.

Bear in mine are 255/50 r19, so the price difference with Hankooks for yours may differ.

I thought of the Avons - but at the time I neeed them they were unavailable for my 90 in 18's, which was a shame as they were a good chunk cheaper & had good reviews. I went witht the bridgestone CC equivalent.

Just had the new Cross Climate2 tyres fitted £560 for a full set for my XC60.
The old Cross Climate 1 set served me very well, 4 years and approx 30k miles.
No complaints at all with these tyres decent grip in all weathers and they last a bit too, I wouldnt use anything else now.
Highly recommended

Nokian was formed in 1865 before Nokia even existed.

Nokian Tyres have manufactured tyres under the Nokia brand name, but the company itself has only ever been called Nokian since 1864, and then Nokian Tyres since 1932.

The company has never been known as Nokia but has sold products using the Nokia brand name, Nokia being the genitive of Nokian.

I presume you can read Wikipedia and Nokian's website just as well as I can?
