I bought Nokian Rotiiva AT tires for my Dacia Duster 4WD as all season tires because of its "snowflake" (3PMSF) and Aramid sidewalls. Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to drive in the snow in winter because I used them for one season only. As AT tires, they are quiet and provide good dry traction during normal driving. After approx. 20 thousand km done mostly on motorways and country roads they have been left with little more than 80% of the tread, so they wear out slowly. The grip is not perfect in the wet, you need to be careful especially when braking hard, otherwise the Nokians will tell you that the grip is running out. They are doing well on sand. On the gravel, small pebbles clog the tread, which is notorious and irritating. They do not cope with heavy mud like most ATs. Now I have another 4x4 and I am considering a new set of AT tires. Would I buy Nokians again? I am not sure (that pebbles), but Rotiiva AT is one of the top AT tires on the market for sure (quiet, durable, winter ready).

These tires are on a 2wd truck that is used for the whole gamut of truck stuff - towing 3500# camper from Maine to TN, car trailers, towing at the upper limit around locally for construction, heavy (over) loaded, and 20hr drives on vacations. Nice that my size has an XL higher weight rating then norm, so it generally has good
stability at all speeds. Have had Firestone Wilderness AT and General Grabber AT previously - liked the Firestone for the first 1/2 of tread, but wet traction and hydroplaning performance diminished quickly afterwards. The Grabber wet traction did not diminish as quickly nor as badly as the Wilderness, but handling was noticeably squirmy especially when new. The Rotiiva AT so far is better than both - wet traction is still good, and hydroplaning remains a non issue. Winter criteria is better than any AT I’ve used yet. First set with no flats - lucky or Kevlar??!! Will be on short list to buy again if still available.
