Nokian Outpost nAT

They're a great Looking tire, very expensive. Have a wear percentage built into the tread, so you can see if you have >80%, >60% etc. left on the tire. That's pretty smart. They pick up small/medium sized stones, all the time. I went poser and got the 33" LT tire on my F150. They're pretty stiff and my stock shocks don't like the extra weight of the tire. They balance well and are good offroad. I've gone through some 12" deep slop while getting into hunting spots and the traction is good.
I live in southern Ontario so we get a lot of freeze/thaw cycles and where I live snow and ice that sometimes sticks around and other times is gone tomorrow. I was banking on gone tomorrow. That hasn't been true the past couple of years. I used to run Blizzak DMV2 for winter use and thought the nAT would be close. Its not close. The DMV2 and the brake activated traction control meant I Very seldom used 4x4 to drive around. With the nAT from a full stop I used 4x4 more this past winter than I have used it in the entire time I have owned this truck (12-years).
I have 3.73 gears and the acceleration from a stop is no longer fun. The slightly taller size and the greater weight just sucks the off the line performance out of the truck. It was never fun to drive, but now its less fun to drive. Fuel economy is also significantly worse - 2L / 100km worse (3mpg).
Road noise is also worse, but its an AT tire, so that's understandable. I just don't like it.
I was hoping to stop having to do winter tire changeovers and get a tire that could do it all. This just proved to me at least, that a dedicated winter tire is worth the expense. I feel safer when I drive around in the winter with a proper winter tire. Stopping a 6k pound truck on ice with a bit of a skid isn't my idea of a good time.
If I lived in an area that saw less winter, (southern Ohio maybe?) then this might be the sort of compromise I would be willing to make.
TLDR - a tough sturdy tire, that isn't the best performer in winter conditions vs a proper winter tire. Looks sharp on the stock wheels.

Initial Review: Nokian Outpost nAT on Ford Lightning (Upgraded Size)
Upgraded the factory, road-focused tires on my Ford Lightning to a much larger and more aggressive 295/70r18 (up from stock 265/70r18). This increased tire weight from the low 40s to the high 50s per tire, and jumped the load rating from 116 to 129. After a few initial miles, here are my first impressions.

The Good:
Surprising Efficiency & Peppy Feel
Perceived Low Rolling Resistance: Despite the massive size and weight jump, the truck feels "lighter" in the steering wheel at low speeds.
Throttle Response: It feels "peppier" and moves easier under slow-speed, light throttle than expected.
Efficiency: Initial testing shows only around a 10% efficiency reduction. For moving to a significantly larger, heavier, and more aggressive all-terrain tire, this is a phenomenal result for an EV.
Ride Comfort: Comfort remains excellent. It rides nearly as smoothly as the stock tires, which is impressive given the much stiffer sidewalls and higher weight rating.

The Neutral: Handling
Steering Response: Handling is perfectly fine, though there is a bit less precision on the very initial turn-in.
Cornering: The tires load up nicely in curves and feel stable, though they have not been pushed hard yet.

The Bad:
Multi-Layered Noise & High-Torque Extremes
The Noise (Three Distinct Layers): Because the EV cabin is so quiet, the new tread creates a complex acoustic profile:
The Base Noise: A general increase in tread noise—more of a constant, rushing air sound compared to stock.
The Main Hum: A very distinct hum that kicks in right around 30 mph and never disappears. It sounds remarkably like a wheel bearing going bad. This hum changes dynamically, coming and going as the suspension loads up through long corners.
The Occasional Harmonic: A sporadic third noise that pops up, sounding like a single individual tire singing or humming on its own.

Hard Acceleration Slip & Squirm: Under hard acceleration, the massive tread lugs struggle against the Lightning’s nearly 800 ft-lbs of instant torque. In a nearly 7,000-lb truck that hits 0–60 faster than most Corvettes, these tires slip and squirm greatly. The breakaway is progressive—they don't suddenly lose all traction—but total acceleration is noticeably down due to this tread movement. This is a distinct departure from the locked-in feel of the stock tires.
Expected Braking Impact: While hard emergency braking has not been tested yet, the expectation is that the deep lugs will yield a similar squirmy feeling and a significant reduction from the "pull your eyes out" braking distance of the stock rubber.

Summary
For an EV owner looking for a rugged, heavy-duty upgrade, the efficiency retention and ride comfort of the Outpost nAT are incredible. However, you must be willing to trade a quiet cabin for a complex mix of tire hums, and accept a softer, less precise feel when pushing the extreme torque limits of the truck.

I live in a high altitude neighborhood in Utah where we frequently deal with snow covered dirt roads that often turn to ice. I bought the Nokian Outpost nATs to replace a 35% life K02 on my '15 F-150 and it's like a night and day difference in snow and ice traction. I took them out on a snowy night just to get a better feel for snow performance and found lateral grip to be very predictable and the overall traction to be similar to an all weather tire (CC2) we have on another vehicle. I was really surprised by how much confidence these inspired in the snow and hope that they are able to maintain this edge through their tread life.

I'm also quite impressed with road feel, the Nokians in SL feel significantly 'cushier' than the E range K02's they replaced. I'm not sure how much of that is the tire vs load range but I am happy to have a nicer ride in day to day use. The Nokians are 10 lbs lighter each and my best guess is that they have contributed ~1 mpg improvement over my outgoing tires. They also seem to have less road noise than the old tires, it's hard to compare worn vs new but they are noticeably quieter on the highway compared to a lot of vehicles with AT tires I've been in.

I had never heard of these tires before and was actually informed of them from chatGPT by prompting 'Which all terrain tire for my truck has the best snow performance, just pick one'. It referenced the snow test on tyre reviews and chose these. They were also cheaper than many competitors, I paid $217 each in 275/65r18 which I felt was totally reasonable considering k03's in the same size are ~$330.

I'm happy with them and would recommend for anyone who is dealing with winter conditions on the regular.
