From my experience, Nokian makes the best winter tires. Once you use winter tires on slush, ice and snow, you will never go back to all season tires in winter. With AWD, it's more about being able to turn and brake in slippery conditions than getting started.
I’ve owned 5 sets of Nokian tires and never a single issue with dry rot.
I went with Nokian outpost APTs. only had them for a few weeks and they handle just as well as the road tires I had on previously.
The Nokian lasts so Long been using it since 2001 in Minnesota and now it's 2024. Rubber and studs like new. Best money I ever spent.
I used to like Blizzaks, then I tried the Nokian Hakkapeliittas and found they worked better for me in Wisconsin winters.
Get the shinko 777, they’re great. Stickiest compound tire I run and I have no issues in the rain. Great for wheelies too
I had the Nokian all-season snow rated tires years ago on my Subaru STi, in the midwest, as my winter tire and loved them. They were not as soft as snow tires and performed very well in frigid temps on dry and wet surface, with the occasional heavy snow.
Recently swapped out the horrendous oem Hankook street tires with Nokian Outpost nAT LT275/70r18. By FAR the best tires I’ve ever had on a vehicle. Actually more quiet than the stocks, better handling and lost no mpg’s.
Nokian Entyres = :thumbup::thumbup: after 2 months and about 2000 miles. Nokian WRG2's = :thumbdown::thumbdown: after 20,000 miles
Hope you have a better experience with the Outpost AT’s than I did. Just pulled them off my WK2 Grand Cherokee and disposed of them after 15K. Either way had substantial cracking and dry-rotting in-between treadblocks and violent shaking that went away with new Destination AT2’s.
