I have just over 6500 miles on my set of Nokian nAT LT275/65/20s. Echoing some of the other replies here... I've had the opposite experience and for me, overall they have performed simply better than the OEM Pirellis.
I run continental Extreme Contacts DWS on mine. They’re amazing and handle snow well too
Conti Viking 7 have been best of the three in my opinion. Excllent in winter and I am even running 19 inch. I took my car out for a Sept warm wknd (was forced to) and even in those conditions I had no idea I was rolling on winters. If I had done that in my Blizzaks, you would have felt the softness. Based on their feel and winter performance, I won’t be looking at other winter tires again.
I have the opposite experience. 4,000 miles on the tires so far and my efficiency is *better* than the Pirellis by about 5%. They are better off-road, handle the sand dunes better than Pirellis
Interesting review. I’ve been running my Nokian for over 13000 miles and I haven’t experienced what you have on the road. I’ve felt they are quite stable and handle super awesome compared to the stock AT Pirelli.
I see extremely harsh winter conditions and run Sparco Terra 16x7 +35 (bronze) with 205/60r16 Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 Studded on lifted 2023 BRZ 6MT. Wanted as much sidewall as possible for the types of roads I drive.
You should look at Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Continental Viking Contact 7. I’ve used both on my Mini and I’ve used Nokians since I got my first Mini. Blizzak WS-90 are good.
All conditions were great EXCEPT wet root. So I'm also in the 'waiting for enduro super soft' camp.
Compared to Maxxis Assegai(grip) + DHR(terra) both exo+:
\* Conti feel more stable than exo+ but not worlds apart
\* Conti roll significantly faster (prob mainly due to Assegai being very slow)
\* Assegai maxxgrip has WAY more 'chemical' grip vs KR-F enduro soft. (Super soft is roughly the same)
\* Conti have more stability in side knobs and more 'physical' grip in loam
\* KR-R as better breaking traction IMO but is also heavier.
Last tires I got bought were Conti Extreme Contacts which I’m impressed with and are known as some of the best on the market. Probably not as quiet as the Michelin primacy I have on another vehicle but performance feels not quite as good in bad conditions as the Contis
The Version 1 of the Conti I had on my Z06 for a while and wasn't impressed, got greasy when hot which apparently is better now and slightly sharper turn in over the PS4S.
