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.

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.

I recently bought a 100 in Austin, TX and had the Nokian Outpost nAT tires added prior to driving back to Michigan. So far I'm very impressed with the handling on pavement and how quiet the tires are. Since being back home I've driven in some deep snow and traction is very good, ice traction is not as good as Hakapilita or Biizak tires but it's adequate.

What size are you running here? Love that front bumper on the 100.

That bumper is rounded vs a hard angular look and no exposed welds for a better overall appearance.
 
I've been meaning to circle back to this thread. I'm 13,000 miles into mine since installing in May. Zero complaints. Wearing evenly, no increase to noise. Easily 1500 miles off pavement and over 10,000 miles of towing. No hard wheeling. I'd buy them again and feel confident recommending them to others. LT275/70r18E

I just put 285/75R16 Outpost NATs on my 2002.. After a few hundred miles, I'm super happy with them. Around town, zero noise.. On the hwy there's maybe slightly more than stock? I havent driven them off road, nor in the winter but overall, and especially compared to other AT tires I've had, I'm really enjoying them.

BUT.. it seems the spare does NOT fit in the factory location.. I've seen others say a 285/75R16 will fit fine down there, but mine is not even close to fitting between the hitch and panhard bar. Looks like at least an inch too big.

Have others gotten theirs in there? I'm pretty surprised I'm having this issue.
