Nokian Tyres Outpost APT

JohnG • 4 months ago

Happy to be back again. I've used Nokian Tyres all weather tires on a number of cars since 2007 except for my Accent that I have now replaced with a Chevy Trailblazer. I got the dealer to install Outpost APT tires before I took delivery. OK about where I live currently: I live in Quebec Canada and before that I lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. If you want bad weather that can go from bad winter weather to summer like in a matter of hours (lookup the word Chinook). Where you might get hail the size of golf balls and car dealers have "hail sales" because there are hail dents all over the cars and windshields were broken by the hail, try Calgary. Nokian Tyres all weather tires beat any tires I've ever used on any car I've ever used. I've recommended them to friends and family. No has ever been disappointed by their performance. In Quebec you are required, by law, to have winter tires by a certain date in December until a certain date in April. The causes enormous backups twice a year at any mechanic shop, dealer, or anyone who will change tires. Not to mention you need to store your alternate tires. What a mess. Anyway, Nokian Tyres all weather tires have both the traction and the tread life that works for any car. I had a Dodge Journey (company car - I wouldn't buy one) that I drove more than 80,000 Km in every imaginable kind of weather and on any kind of road. The tires still had great treads and could have gone for at least another 20 to 30 Thousand Km before needing to be changed. Try them - you'll never want anything other than all weather tires. Do not confuse them with all season. Some tire shops I've gone to refer to "all season" as "3 season".

I've been driving on a set of the Nokian Tyres Outpost APT through 2 Western Canadian winters and 2 summers of tough sledding. Vehicle is a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Outdoor. The Nokian Tyres Outpost APT is indeed an all-purpose CUV tire. Tire performance is very good on both dry and wet pavement; responsive to steering inputs with good turn-in; no hydroplaning in the wet and not too noisy. This tire shines on gravel roads; doesn't feel like you're driving on marbles and very little stone retention in the tread blocks or siping. This tire is also very capable in fresh snow, hard-packed snow and slush. On ice, vehicle control is very predictable, to the extent that the Crosstrek's VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) rarely engages. I've experienced "all-weather" tires from two other brands (Toyo and Yokohama) and both did not live up to their all-weather claims. The Nokian Tyres Outpost APT actually delivers on my expectations for a tire I can confidently run year 'round on any road surface. Highly recommended.

Acheté à l'automne 2023 pour un tucson hev, très satisfait de l'adhérence sur la neige et glace. C'est la première fois que j'achète des Nokian Tyres j'en suis très satisfait tant au niveau de l'adhérence que du bruit de roulement et très minime différence du km/100L. J'ai eu d'autres marques de pneus homologué installés sur des 4x4, les Nokian Tyres Outpost APT sont les meilleurs.

I have been through multiple terrains with this tire including dry, wet, dirt, mud, snow, and ice and I have had great traction provided by these tires. This is my second set of Nokian Tyres and I was very happy with the first one so I decided to try out this one. My mpg is running from 29-32 and I like how this tire is very smooth and quiet on the streets and highways.

Driven them on highway, gravel and fire roads and did great. I did not like how they handle on our first winter storm so I replaced them with a winter tire.

I didn`t know what to expect...but decided to try these instead of a Falken Wildpeak. These tires look really cool with the aggressive sidewall side facing out on my Crosstrek.. I took my Crosstrek out in the snow after removing my winter Nokian Tyres Nordman tires and installing these and the traction was surprisingly good. I could run these all year round if needed. The one thing that really surprised me though: after three long runs on side roads and highway, the tire noise was really good; I expected them to be louder. And with these long runs I would fill up the car with fuel before going, and check recorded mileage before/after. I actually am getting higher fuel mileage with these over my Bridgestone RE980`s these replaced.. I didn`t believe it the first run.. but after 3 long trips I verified that at least there is no gas mileage penalty with these tires (that I was expecting with a more aggressive tread pattern..)!

Purchased a set of the for a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend to replace the stock Continentals and to avoid having to purchase a second set of winter tires on rims. Have owned SEVERAL brands of tires including extremely high performance ones (Michelin Pilot Sport 4s) and Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta studded tires. I have to say from the moment they were installed I was very impressed. Summer driving they stick to the road like glue, have zero issues in heavy rain and and surprisingly quiet. Did not see a noticeable decrease in fuel economy either! Been through one of the snowiest winters in quite some time, and again I was very impressed at how they handled. Deep snow and/or slush they have zero issues in cutting through. As per my previous winter tires which were studded - I cannot say that these Nokian Tyres Outpost APTs are as performant on ice. HOWEVER, given that they are not studded and are a dedicated all year round tire, they still performed VERY well on icy roads. Overall very impressed by these tires - will definitely be repurchasing once new ones are required.

I am so happy with the Outpost APT! I have actually been telling people that I love them. I want to be very specific with my review. I had these tires mounted and balanced on my 2WD VW Eurovan Camper, along with a 4-wheel alignment, before a cross-country Christmas road trip over December 2022 and January 2023. We drove from Los Angeles to Toronto and they were absolutely excellent! I was anxious about the harsh winter weather that we would encounter. We drove through every road condition that I can think of and we never lost traction. The Outpost APTs gave us confidence that we did not have before. They were quiet at highway speeds, always perfectly sure-footed in the snow, slush, and ice in cottage country Ontario, sliced through deep water during a tornado warning near Nashville, and saved us when we slammed into a huge pothole somewhere in Ohio. I didn't think I could be more impressed until I had to navigate Crestline, Lake Arrowhead, and Running Springs in the aftermath of the March 2023 Blizzard in the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California. I chose my routes carefully, but never got stuck, never slid, and never needed chains on my front wheel drive van. These tires are amazing and I love the way they look. You can have them mounted either of 2 ways with their different sidewall designs: one side is more rugged with nice well-designed lugs on the sidewall, and the other is more subtle, perhaps elegant, and would look great on a luxury SUV. I have highly recommended them to many people and insisted that my elderly parents get Nokian Tyres products put on their BMW X5. They are very happy as well.

These are nice tires but lack hardpack snow and ice traction. Must be cautious while winter driving.

Bought these to go with my aftermarket wheels for my RAV4 Hybrid. First drive I was upset with the road noise. But soon realized it was a different frequency and it did not bother me. Have to say these tires are absolutely AMAZING in the wet. Grip is truly sticky. I will be buying another set of these when these wear out.
