New Shoes - Nokian Outpost nAT LT275/65r18 (1 Viewer)

[4whom the bell tolz]

We are running the Dalton and plenty of other off pavement routes. An AT is the right tire for my overall usage. I just want to lean to the HWY side of AT verse the more aggressive side of AT. I'm not in this thread for recommendations of other tires just data on this particular tire. I've got others I'm considering, but at this point I'm more looking for a reason not to get the Nokian than a reason to get it. Meaning it’s at the top of my current list. It's time to get these snow tires off for the season.

i have the outpost nAT on my 2007 Gx470. we have made several back and forth trips WI/CO and i have been very happy with them high/freeway usage. smooth quiet and perfectly balanced. no issues driving between denver and colorado springs freeway speeds. and no issues gravel roads, forest roads and trails. i’ve been very happy. at about 25k miles and can still see the 60% wear indicators

I’m about to pull the trigger on a set of 275/70r18 for my LC-250. Surprised to see the negative comments from other 250 owners as the tire seems to have an overwhelming positive review by the 100 guys as well as over the Internet as a whole.

Anyone with anything to add as time has passed since your last post?

Love them. Great snow tire, good warm weather tire. Awesome wear. Had them since september

I've put about 4K on a set and mostly on pavement. They're still quiet overall but do sing a bit on some forms of asphalt.

Got the Nokians mounted up today. Only drove it home from town in the rain. 50 MPH max, seemed quieter and smoother than my Toyo LTW-1 snow tires. Both sets are LT275/70r18 E rated.

Your LC looks great, I think that’s the best color. I hope you like the Nokians, I’ve had the P-rated version on my ‘04 and for over a year and have really liked the ride and traction.

I couldn't wait for the nATs and went with the Ascents.

Although we haven't had much inclement weather around here, I am anxious to see how they do.

How have the Ascents worked out for you?

The Outpost nAT P275/65-18 are available now. Just ordered a set.

Great! The on road manners are excellent and no complaints off road either.

Well after a week of daily commuting on the Outposts I don’t have any complaints. I can’t speak for freeway speed noise as we simply don’t have a freeway to drive on. I have to leave town to see any posted limits above 50. At 60 they were quiet to my ears. I feel as speed increases the progression of engine/exhaust noise is greater than anything the tires or my RTT makes for that matter.

Second set.... I love these tires.

First set was on a LX570.
