Nokian Rotiiva A/T, yeah I bought them.

I found them online Shipped for $460 in 265/75/16.

I know, i know, "ya get what ya pay for" but after reading all i could find about them it seems that they dont last but 30-40k miles. At this price, thats ok in my opinion.

Here they are. I will moint them when i get a chance.






In Soviet Russia, Tyres ride you!

 

The first thing i noticed is how lite they are. No i dont have a scale but they are noticably lighter than the coopers i justhelped a friend with (same size)

 

I know the Nokian winter tires are highly regarded. Just curious, what does the "Made in" stamp say?

I stared at the sidewall for like 2 min... Couldn't find it. Im sure its there somewhere

 

Found it. Made in Russia!

 

Russia? That's a new one to me.

 

Supposedly made from "natural" communist rubber. LmfAo

 

Those percentage wear markers actually look pretty sweet

 

Have these on mine. They were on the truck when I bought it used with 34k. Truck now has 56k and the indicator reads 40% tread left. The tires read 100% when I got it.
They have been pretty good, minus the wear factor. Have put them through some abuse and they have handled well.

 

Ive had them on for two weeks. So far, they have been quiet on the hwy.

They feel soft to the touch. Almost too soft (like they wont last)

They sure do grab!! When i make u turns, i can step on it and would have to try really hard to fish tail.

Sped down a fairly straight gravel road at 60mph in 2wd. They tracked straight and i didn't have to make steering corrections.

1in puddles at 40mph- you don't notice the puddle.

4 in puddles at 40+ mph- you do feel it, but its not disruptive. I imagine you would have to be going pretty fast to float water with these.

 

At this price, well, well, worth it!

 

They're an "All Weather" tire, designed for colder climates. The soft rubber compound gives better traction in winter conditions. Much of the testing is done close to the arctic circle. You'll likely never use many of the features built into it.

 

We had Hakkas put on my wife's civic. The car drove like a tank in the snow.

 

You right. I live in New Orleans.i ts hot as fk 9/12 months. And always wet.

I wanted a budget A/T that actually had A/T tread. And this was it.

But they handle these flood waters here really well.

We will see about mud. Stay tuned

 

hmm, made in Russia, it's prolly tough like Fedor E. - post some pictures mounted if you had the chance

 

New phone. I cant figure out how to turn the camera down from fkin 21megpxls

 

Has anyone used these in rugged off-road conditions?

 

Tires are still good.

They are only decent in mud.
Excellent in rain/puddles (probably 9/10)
Pretty good on asphalt in dry or damp.

Ok in sand. Ok in gravel roads

Not noisy at all at 80+mph

Haven't gone on rock ledges or boulders.

I'lI give these a best value and halfway decent long term review.

I would totally buy them again. The next even tires were at least 70% more $

 

update, I put about 35k on them, tread was at maybe 40%, they were starting to dry rot a little bit.
all of them had several plugs from roofing nails/drywall screws (fking New Orleans). I finally killed two of them this month in north Carolina. One finally blew form all the abuse and another went flat, not sure if it was a new hole or an old one. I definitely put more load on them than they were rated for.

To sum it up, they were decent handling tires on and off road and exceptional on wet and puddly roads. for the price i paid, i give them 4/5 stars
