    If you're a guy who finds himself cutting a lot of things, youre screwing up if you don't have an opinel. It's not a self defense knife or rugged; it just does a lot of stuff very well.

      As with most warranties, The honoring of, is left up to the service provider, and is limited to a amount of time. I have run only Nokian products for 20 years. My last set to be replaced was a 60,000 mile tire that wore out at 29.000 miles. Very even wear across all four, with slight outer front accelerated wear, common to many chassis configurations/design. I don't feel cheated in any way. The all season tire stuck like glue, on even wet ice. Flotation on wet slush and fresh snow alerted us to early replacement.

    I think I just found my tire!! I want something light, somewhat aggressive and in a 34” on 18” wheel. I have a Trailhunter and really did not want a 60+ pound tire. On discount tire it shows the 295/70/18 as weighing 45 pounds in E load? How is that even conceivable? Seems too good to be true.

    For a tire that overwhelmingly has positive feedback & is loved by those who purchase them, there is so little information & reviews of them online in comparison to competitor tires. Nokian doesn't publish much for technical specs on their website - section width, tread width, etc. They almost come off as having little motivation to sell their own product.. A big question I have regarding how much lighter they are compared to others, is how? Due to the Aramid (kevlar) layer? Goodyear uses that, & they're not light. Thinner tire overall, means less durable generally, but does it make up for it via Aramid for durability? How are they that much lighter than the Goodyears still? I have a set of the nAT's on the family Pilot in a 255-60-18, and have been overall happy with them. Weight is definitely noticeable over the stock 245-60-18 Michelin Defender all-seasons. Debating about getting the nAT's for my Titan once my Ridge Grapplers are done. I do wish the nAT had a more square profile to them. All the pictures I've seen of them in various sizes, the sidewall looks a bit bulgey/rounded than I like..

  • @adrianw3985
    @adrianw3985 3 місяці тому

    Sounds like a nice tire, no 35x12.5 in a 17 that I can find online. They do have 35x12.5 in a 20-inch rim, which seems strange since no off-road guy would think it's reasonable to run 20s off-road. They do have the 315/70R17, which is pretty close, though. Edit: After further searching, they do indeed make a 35x12.5R17. Nice, maybe I will try a set on the Jeep.

    it's a great product unless you receive defective equipment. Spent months researching and finally spent over $1,300 including accessories for a planned vacation which I had to cancel due to inability to get a functional softopper in time. Too bad it arrived with defective parts. After finding more defects tried to get refund. They will charge you hundreds of dollars to return defective equipment!! Buyer beware. Sure they will keep replacing under warranty, but if they cannot send out one that works the first time how can you trust this company?

Excellent road manners, wet weather grip, and quiet compared to the Ultraterrains. We live in the NW and I'm looking forward to winter travel coming up. The increase in gas mileage was also a pleasant surprise. They cost more however it'll be worth it over 60K miles and with the additional peace of mind. Appreciate your recommendation!

I had selected the now-discontinued Duratracs because they had a decent enough winter rating for occasional trips to the high country in addition to their capabilities in the desert, wondering if these Nokians can handle the road temps here.
