This review of the Nokian Outpost nAT tires popped up on youtube last week. The reviewer has been running them on his 4x4 truck in the Sierras and had very good things to day about the tire. I originally came across this on Adventure Journal...
I see you are located in the PNW. Did you end up getting the Nokian Outpost nAT tires? If so, curious about how you like them and particularly how they do in the rain on wet pavement.
I've had mine on for about 4.5 months, in the South. These tires ride great, good in the rain and wet roads so far. They do pick up some gravel (I have a gravel portion of my driveway) but not terrible. I have the P rated version and they are...
i drive alot of forest gravel washboard where i live so i keep psi around 28. the forest “road” trails i’ll so 20-24 depending on the conditions. smooths out so well with the nATs. as we’ve entered mud season between the snow i am also very...
@TGK I beat on my set I had on my LX570. They came out unphased in W TX. To me a harsh environment to test the tires. They looked beat up but road great on way home for 12+hours.
I will always be a Nokian fan boy after this trip.
I’m interested in hearing if you’ve had experience with your Nokian nAT’s off pavement on dirt, rock and gravel and how they performed. I’m thinking of the typical NFS & BLM gravel, washboard, dirt one finds in the west. I exploring...
HA. I think I would have came to my same conclusion after this update for sure. Appreciate it. Unfortunately I might not even get around putting on the winters this season unless another family trip is warranted otherwise I’ve been chasing...
Updates from the frozen high country are....very good! I've only had one meaningful traction loss incident so far, and that was on heinous, snow-dusted ice down a steep hill by the intermediate school--the road runs into a T-intersection that is...
Thanks for @4whom the bell tolz.
I think I made a good 100 series owner compromise.
I got 70% tread left over Nokian R3s from FB market $100 and the newer 18in tundra wheel.
And will buy new Nokian outpost nAT too lol.
Maybe keep the...
i’ll chime in too as i’m in similar situation. first winter in CO. i’m on the nATs 255/75/17. i’m very happy on how their are performing on the packed snow roads, and powder, much better than the fairly new ko2s i swapped out. i wish i could...
@w4lks0ftly curious if you have any further updates from your Colorado winter?
Still can’t decide if I’m going dedicated winters or nAT. If I’m able to safely cruise down icy and snowpack passes powder chasing, I think just going with the nAT...
Ice traction will always be non-existent unless you go with a studded tire...
For a tire that I can drive in the summers in California, they are great-- they'll never be as good as a studded tire or a full-on snow tire (which can only be used in...
I came to my GX460 from the Volvo world, where I had the Nokian WRG3s and then the WRG4s on my S60R.
Nokian's "all weather" compounds are fantastic for those of us who live in a warm climate but still need snow tire performance in the winters...
Thanks man! I’ve been a photographer for a long time — appreciate the kind words. It’s a little dirtier now but I do try and take care of it. I’m right at 242k, I’ve had it for almost 10 years — bought it with 100k. Still liking the tires, hoping...
Thanks guys. I'm really surprised at how quiet these are – my last set of tires (Toyo AT3s) hummed right out the gate and these are so quiet especially considering the size and depth of the lugs.
i am loving my set. swapped out a fairly new set of ko2s after the first few snows when moving to colorado. they give me such a safer and secure feeling on packed snow and have been amazing in the fresh powder. great on I80 and I25 at 80+ mph and...
They look great. How’d you like the ride and traction in snow/ice? Mine have been great - snow and icy roads here due to a recent storm, I’ve had no problems and we’re in a fairly hilly area.
