Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tyre's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
One thing I would really like to see even on the more aggressive tires, even if it didn’t receive a weighting in the final score, is the rolling resistance.
Agreed!
How much worse is a tire like this - would love to know as it is 1/2 price: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gladiator-X-Comp-A-T-LT-285-65R20-Load-E-10-Ply-AT-All-Terrain-Tire/820084509
Surely this test should have used the new bfg k03? I beleive its well improved over the K02.
I would also like to see the Geolandar at4 G018
It wasn't available in this test size at time of test.
Well, partly on the basis of this test (one of two I found), I bought these (Kumho AT 52, 31/10.5-15 fitted to a 1979 FJ 55 Landcruiser). Motivation was that I didn't require great off road performance (first gear 2WD high range around my paddocks is about as hard as it gets) but was interested in road handling & braking, especially in the wet, on bitumen roads when I use the Cruiser as a truck, carting or towing things.
In anecdotal reinforcement of Jonathan's remarks, it's a delight on these parameters of appraisal - decidedly the best tyre I have fitted in 25 years of use of the Cruiser.
Look forward to move feedback!
I really enjoy reading the reviews on this site and the youtube channel too, but I'm disappointed to see that the Nokian Outpost nAT isn't included in any all-terrain tire comparison against other AT tires, either in winter testing or all-around; I only saw a test against other Nokian tires in the snow, which is interesting, but frankly not helpful. I'm such a huge fan of Nokian winter tires that I want to see how their AT tires stack up against the competition, but having experience with their winter tires it's obvious to me that a dedicated winter tire will outperform an all-weather or all-terrain tire in snow and on ice (ok, I admit that it was interesting to see how it did against the all-weather, but I'm not shopping for that type of tire).
Stay tuned, something is coming with the nAT
Given that the Wrangler Duratrac tyres have lost their 3 Peak//Snowflake designation in some of their larger sizes (285/75R18 in particular), I've been weighing with replacing them with the Falken Wildpeaks, but I'm also a fan of the Nokian Outpost nATs. Of the two, which would you go for? I know you tested and were a fan of both, but I don't recall//see anything comparing the two directly for overall usability. The snow performance of the Nokians are drawing me to them, but at what cost for the other 3 seasons?
I'm not sure I'd be able to pick. The Falken is more proven in everything but snow.
