I don't think that translates to ADAC results though.

German Autobild does give it a "Good" rating and "Ecomaster" rating though

Mitsubishi was putting Nexens on all their AWD Outlander Sports and they are smooth running but absolutely stink in winter weather. Zero traction.

a common complaint with some OEM tires.

usually very lacking in wet or winter traction, poor treadlife

low noise, good balance.

Not always the case. The awful Yokohama Geolandar G91F Subaru likes to put on the Forester are not low rolling resistance tires.
