Nokian Tyres Outpost APT

Andre • 2 days ago

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.

Bought these to put on a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport and I gotta say they are phenomenal. Decently quiet and perform very well in all kinds of conditions and weather. Using them in the winter and have been very impressed how they handle in both heavy snow and icy roads. Very well rounded tire.

So far the Outpost APTs are very impressive tires. I did a lot of research before purchasing tires for my 2020 Kia Telluride. I like Michelin very much but did not like the stock tires that came with our certified used vehicle. A friend suggested Nitto Grapplers because they are also apparently awesome but I haven't tried them nor heard anything first hand about them. In any case, the Nokian Tyres APT tires are seriously amazing in heavy rain. My wife and I both feel very confident driving in downpours and through unpredictable puddles with these rugged tires. In our experience these tires do not readily hydroplane, which is easy to understand once you see just how deep the treads are and appreciate how they are designed to eject water from both sides of the asymmetrical tread. The tires seriously slice through water and maintain reliable road contact. The Outpost APTs are noticeably better on gravel roads than our old set of Toyo Celsius CUVs (which we absolutely loved (!) - Celsius CUV tires were insanely good on snow, even in a FWD 2004 Honda Odyssey). The main reason we went with the Nokian Tyres over Toyos or even Michelin Cross Climate 2 (which are absolutely amazing from everything I've seen), is because we like the extra assurance the Aramid Sidewalls on Outpost APTs provide. As a cyclist and driver - puncture resistance in all its available forms is absolutely key. So far, the Nokian Tyres Outpost APTs have held up very well in hitting pot holes. Check it out if you don't believe me: https://tinyurl.com/5358bpmv The tires chew up uneven and scarred pavement and provide a very quiet and comfortable ride on the highway and local roads. I have only tested them in modest snow in Chicago and Wisconsin (it has not been a very snowy season so far). Nevertheless, these tires, even while pushing the Telluride in light snow - in Sport Mode - (while under safe and pedestrian-free conditions), will slip or skid only slightly even when accelerating aggressively and again when slamming on the brakes. Assuming the rest of the winter works out like this, we will be purchasing another set of Outpost APTs to go exploring in our Mazda CX-5. Buy Nokian Tyres - i.e. the tires (the only point of contact for such a vehicle) adeptly found traction very quickly. Each and every time I tested it. I look forward to a couple of feet of snow to see what the all purpose tires can really do. They are good quality and handsome tires. We have the aggressive tread-wall facing out on the Telluride but hope to purchase another pair for a 2020 Mazda CX-5 and turn it into a polite and humble beast with the less aggressive sidewalls facing outward.

I liked the set I put on my 2006 Subaru Forester so much I put a set on my wife's brand new 2023 Subaru Crosstrek, they will be the next tires on my 2010 Subaru Forester XT. Minimal road noise for such an aggressive tread. Handle as well as any other A/T tires. I haven't had the chance to use them in deep mud yet, but they handled sand very well. Solid grip in the rain. I have finally had a chance to use them in some moderate snow (about 8 inches), thoroughly impressed. Has me looking forward to a real snowfall (something over a foot) to test them out. A fair price for an outstanding tire. The snowflake winter rating means I can tell my insurance company that I am running on winter approved tires, that I can use all year. My only complaint, they are very difficult to get here in Canada. Very few dealers and very poor stock availability.

J'ai acheté ce pneu car je voulais un pneu intermédiaire. Je ne voulais pas sacrifier le confort d'un pneu de tourisme mais je ne voulais pas d'un pneu trop dur et bruyant comme un AT. Comme majoritairement je roule 90% sur la route et 10% hors route (sentier de chalet très rocailleux et boueux), le pneu se comporte très bien. Très satisfait. 245/50 R20 pour mon Honda Passport 2019.

In my search for new adventure tires for the RAV4 I came across the Nokian Tyres Outpost APT.. the tire checked all of my boxes. Needed a light off road capable of snow and nearly anything thrown at it. This tire is it! Rides beautifully on every terrain. Exceptional handling in the rain, fantastic off-road grip, chews through the snow and light sand. Not any louder than the OEM Rav4 tires. The Aramid sidewalls are an added peace of mind when off road! Couldn’t ask for a better tire. This will be my go-to tire for now on.

Quite literally had these put on a a 2015 Jeep Patriot High Altitude, today (8/4/22). The profile of these tires is absolutely amazing. They look aggressive, but in a nice subtle way. The treads are just a work of art. I was told these were a very quiet and comfortable tire despite its style. I drove about 100 miles on them alone today, and in that short time, I can definitely say that yes, they are definitely quiet and the ride is smooth and responsive. I was hoping to have them installed before the giant weather storm we had yesterday, I wanted to test them in hard rain, but guess I will wait. So far, I love these tires, the look, the feel, and hopefully the weather busters that they are will be tested soon. These were designed for Missouri weather.
