the Nokian R5 is incredible. I used to live next to a ski resort, and the tire killed it in cold weather, ice, deep snow, the works
I go camping often, so she’s good in the mud. I use Nitto Grappler tires and they’re fantastic.
The OEM Michelins on my ‘23 lasted just under 30k miles - replaced with 255/70R18 Nokian Outpost nAT (32.1 in). Relatively obscure tire so I’m curious to see how they are. I’m hoping given Nokian’s rep for winter tires that these perform well in the snow this ski season.
3" lift/level, 16" wheels (i like Method), 33" Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The offset should give you a 1" poke for a more aggressive look.
I enjoy my Nitto g2 NT555’s.
I can say with all honesty that Nokian ( Hakka-something or other in Finnish ) is a stand out winter tire.
I've had Nokians since 2019 on all of my subarus.
Low rolling resistance and greatest snow tire I've ever owned.
I've used Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak's but the Nokians are better.
I had Ridge Grapplers on a 2021, stock size on 20 inch wheels. They were quiet and good MPG. The Ridge Grapplers were sketchy on wet roads while the Defenders are lighter and make the truck feel 1k lighter.
I just replaced Ridge Grapplers on my 2020 Ram 1500. Worst tire I ever had. They were horrible on wet pavement, packed snow and ice.
No experience with the Continentals but I really did not like the Nokians. I bought them because they seemed to be well-reviewed, they were only marginally better than the Nexens in terms of traction yet they were a decent bit louder. Despite having plenty of tread left after 35k miles I replaced them with Michelin Primacy Tour and they’re so much quieter and the traction is much improved. I had a friend who is a frequent passenger in my car comment on how much quieter it was completely unprompted the first time he rode in the car after getting the Michelins. The Nokians were loud from the beginning and traction in wet conditions decreased rapidly as they aged.
