Nokian Outpost AT

My only hesitation with this is the fact that the tires still have under 3000 miles on them, and they shouldnt need a rotation yet?

 

They should not need rotated, but it could help with the noise.

 

wow a lot of good information on this thread. I've got a 2nd gen taco. I run Hakkas in winter but my KO2s need replacing in the spring when I switch back. I'm currently on 265/65/17s for both sets. I'm thinking of going a bit bigger to replace the KO2s but i'm limited on height due to where I park. I've got about 3inches of clearance to play with.. any suggestions? I'm thinking either the coopers or the nAT. I really like my hakkas so leaning more on the nATs but not Dead set yet with the few concerns I've read on here. I do lots of highway and city driving with a few offroad trips throughout the year.

 

I run the nAT on 4th gen Tacoma size 255 75 R17 for a 32.1" tire.
Some might call it a pizza cutter but it doesn't look particularly skinny on the truck and performance has been great.
I was worried with a report in here about slippery in rain but so far I have not experienced any of that. They are quiet, look good and feel very planted at 12500 km.
Also impressive in winter weather.
I was on glare ice the other day (10hr freezing rain storm) and although I didn't go over 60km I felt safe and in full control.
One area I feel I could benefit from a set of true winter tires is with greasy snow over icy pavement or ice at highway speeds but that's likely the case with any AT tire vs winter rubber.
I think Nokian has found a way to get their nAT to about 85% of a true winter tire which is impressive considering they have a 100,000km warranty.
I'd buy again with confidence.

 

I like those wheels...and they look super-easy to clean and keep clean.

 

Wow! I wanted to get rid of them for most of the time that I had the Taco.

They were quick to clean, but I did not put much effort into it. About four months after those pics:






Currently, with sliders and Rugged Treks:

 

I was given a set for free by Nokian. I have to admit, I love them so far, and I'm going to run them thru the winter. I'm @ 15k km on them and they've been amazing thus far, been thru everything from mud, to snow, to dry and rain. Can't complain. They also seem to tow a little better than my coopers.

They're on my winter wheels right now (the steelies, I typically run a dedicated winter) so they'll serve me thru this winter and hopefully next summer I finish off my coopers and will run these as my next summer set.

 

I like it…and still easy to clean.
