Nokian Outpost nAT All Terrain 245/65R17 111T XL Light Truck Tire

I have these on a Ram 3500 dually that tows regularly, had Toyo ATs before, I don't remember the model number on them but they were the most recent ones. No complaints about those tires at all but I had put a set of these Nokians on my wife's Grand Cherokee for summer/fall tires and they've been great so thought I'd try them on my truck. Really no complaints, they are great tires. I can't hear them over the truck so I have no clue about noise, but they handle nicely, I don't feel like the sidewalls are soft or anything like that. I love the tread depth gauges that Nokian puts on their tires, just a nice touch that makes it easy to read when rotating tires. I actually specifically wanted to write this review after spending a couple days hauling beef cattle in absolutely terrible winter conditions, I have a 22' EBY gooseneck and was moving loads of 12-14 Angus of varying sizes, I don't know the exact load weight. Either way the roads were atrocious, like couldn't see the other trailer probably 100' in front of me. If anyone knows the weather in Northern VT that's what it was, wind driven snow. I was really impressed with these tires, I only felt the truck slip a couple times and it cornered really well. Probably the most confident I've ever felt driving in wind driven snow with a dually and a trailer. Wasn't really planning on writing a review on them until they impressed me in the snow like they did. Other than that they are just another top tier AT tire, there's a few out there like the Toyos I had before. I wouldn't snooze on these for sure. Been running strictly Nokians on our vehicles lately because they've been pretty impressive all season tires on our rural roads that are probably worse than some "off road" trails haha.

Was looking for durable A/T tires that weren't too heavy and that could handle wet and winter. Have experience from BFG KO and they are great off road but almost dangerous in wet and under par in winter conditions. Also too heavy. The Nokians are superb in dry & wet, not noisy and very comfortable. And knowing Nokians I'm sure they won't disappoint in winter. Interesting too see off road performance also.
