Nokian Outpost nAT rated 78% while driving a Toyota Tundra 2021
Driving on a combination of roads for 17000 spirited miles
Phenomenal traction EVERYWHERE. Best all around tire I've had on any of my trucks or SUV's. But I wouldn't recommend them.. For an All Terrain tire, its also the best I've driven on in the snow, leaning on it's snow-covered roots I suppose. On dry and wet roads, it handles exceptionally well with good steering and road feedback. Road manners may even be considered excellent. They make a little noise - as AT tires do - but it is a broad spectrum noise rather than a hum or buzz that is barely perceptible at around 40 mph, but doesn't grow exponentially louder with an increase in speed; instead, it almost declines around 70 mph where engine and wind noise take over. The ride isn't soft, nor firm - but right where you'd expect it to be and provides enough comfort for heavy loads and/or daily driving. They handle heavy loads well, but not as well as say, Cooper AT3 LT tires that are designed to haul and tow, with a little more squish and roll around corners when loaded. Steering is on the responsive side of neutral that allows for more precise steering making twisty mountain roads downright fun with the right suspension setup (as much as an AT tire can provide and a good set of shocks can provide on a pickup, anyways). They also handle mud and dirt MUCH better than other AT tires that I've run - much more than I would expect - digging for traction where I expect them to gum up and tap out. They do like to pick up gravel stones and toss them once you reach highway speeds, but, again, most AT tires do that. They are wearing a little faster than I'd expect, but not horribly so, and are usually a bit out of balance by 4,000 miles before I have them balanced and rotated at 5,000 miles.

So why on Earth wouldn't I recommend them to everybody? Why am I writing and End of Life review at only 17,000 miles and not a Mid-Life Review? Simply put - the include Road Hazard Warranty is useless. I picked up a nail in the sidewall that is obviously not repairable; Nokians Road Hazard warranty should cover the tire (and it would according to tire shop...) BUT... Nokian is not currently producing the tire in my size LT275/65R18 and is backordered for the foreseeable future. Whether I have to purchase a new tire or it's covered under their warranty doesn't matter since I cannot acquire the tire either way. So I have three good tires and one that cannot be repaired or driven on. Last I checked, my truck needed four tires to run down the road so I'm forced to purchase an entirely new set of tires. I depend on the vehicle to get me out the door in the morning and back home at night, sometimes logging hundreds of miles in a day with gear in the bed and a trailer in tow, no matter the road conditions. Nokian can't even get me back on the road with a very popular and regular tire size. Thus, I wouldn't recommend the tire to anybody. Unfortunately for me, I run the same size tire in a P-rating on my Sequoia and am hoping I don't happen upon any other road hazards with that vehicle or I might be out two sets of tires.

BFGoodrich All Terrain TA KO3 rated 88% while driving a Chevrolet silverado 1500
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 spirited miles
Much better than the factory Goodyear Duratrac regarding road noise and road comfort. The dry grip is better on roads. Has not rained enough here since I got them to provide a comprehensive review of wet traction but the one or two times they performed well. We will see what this winter brings regarding ice and snow traction. Hopefully I will be able this review after I get firewood on rough muddy / snow mountain forest service roads and after I drive it on our very icy winter roads. Here in Wyoming the DOT uses a sand, gravel mix with a little bit of salt because salt doesn't work below zero. Hopefully this tires increased silica content and siping will perform as well as my old KO2's.

Nokian Outpost nAT rated 97% while driving a Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
Early impressions of the Nokian Outpost nAT are extremely positive after 2k miles of mixed weather and surfaces. Having previously traveled 40k miles on my OE BFG KO2 fitment, I was keen to try an alternative All-Terrain tire. The KO2 had become overly noisy, lacked wet grip, and were awful in packed snow and ice. Most striking, the nAT proved to be as quiet as the passenger car tires on my other vehicles. At speed, wind and engine note now dominate the audible experience rather than tire roar. Our local weather has seen 8” of snow one week and near 80d F the next, with some heavy rain tossed in the mix as well. The Nokian’s have exceeded my high expectations in all conditions. Their performance has been nothing short of confidence inspiring, a vast improvement over the KO2.

Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure rated 68% while driving a Ford F 150
Driving on mostly town for 12000 average miles
Solid all round tire for grip, but incredibly uncomfortable. It's to be expected from a load range E truck tire, but there's a noticeable shift at around 65-70 mph where the tire goes from a comfortable, smooth drive, to getting very flightly and unstable when hitting any sort of irregularity in the road. For example, hit a bump while on a freeway ramp, and you can feel the entire front end jump over a bit. Also, going over anything but the perfect surface on the freeway, you can feel the entire truck shaking.
As for grip, they're just alright in basically every condition. I've never gotten stuck, or had any major issues, but if I wanted, I could easily break traction at any second. On ice, they struggle like any non-studded, non-winter will, but they're manageable with 4WD. In the dry and wet, they're uneventful and have never caused me to lose confidence in my traction. They're on a half-ton truck, so there's nothing uneventful or spirited with them. If anything, the wet traction is impressive given how they handle pulling a 3500lb boat and trailer up a slick, steep, wet boat ramp covered with weeds and algae without even a hint of losing traction.
I don't think I'll get these again simply because of how rough and terrible the ride is, particularly at higher speeds. Plus, there's zero reason for an E tire on a half ton. If I exceeded the load of a 116T tire, I've exceeded my payload by over 1000 lbs. Additionally, the fuel economy penalty is noticeable. I average about 1-2mpg less than what the truck is rated for consistently with these.

BFGoodrich Trail Terrain TA rated 96% while driving a Ford F 150
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
Had the TrailTerrain fitted for a few months now and all I can say is wow. Excellent comfort, no noise compared to my normal tires, and while I've not tried them in ice yet in the snow they felt better than my all seasons. Highly recommended.
