265/65 R17 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV rated 86%
while driving a Nissan Pathfinder
I purchased these R5 SUV tires last fall as a result of the excellent reviews from Tire Reviews.com I live in the mountains of British Columbia Canada where we get lots of snow and ice in the winter and we drive to the local Ski hill several days a week. I've typically used Bridgestone Blizzaks in the past and was very happy with them. These R5s are a step up being at least as good on ice and snow and superior in the dry, wet and handling. Definitely the best winter tire I have used.

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza 6 rated 90%
while driving a Toyota Land cruiser prado
Driving on mostly country roads for 50000 average miles
Both wet and dry grip braking and traction excellent.
Cornering and lateral grip amazing for a 4X4.
So comfortable and noise levels that low that most passengers fall asleep!!!
Sidewalls are softer, but that’s to be expected with a touring tire.
Noticeable difference in fuel economy.
Real sense of confidence and comfort when driving, over the budget tires they replaced.
I do well in excess of 50k on rural difficult roads with little off roads, much of it towing up to the national legal road limit of 7.5tons @ 80kph.
On one trip of over 1200km non stop, so impressed was my passenger with the drive ability, that he insisted on getting behind the wheel. He couldn’t believe the responsiveness of the steering wheel.
I have no interest in driving excessively/sporty, beyond the legal limits, etc, so I can’t comment on the dynamic limitations of the tires.
I believe they are good value for money relative to other competitors in the same tire size, but tire wear is the big unknown. Completed about about 15-20k on these tires since new before switching to winter tires, and looking forward to temperatures rising again.

In Canada you can find these tires pretty cheap, I was surprised this website lists them Premium. But that is what they are, look good, ride good. Definitely worth the price.

Writing about the Nokian Outpost nAT rated 91%
while driving a Toyota Tacoma
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 average miles
We live in the PNW and need an excellent wet traction tire with decent snow handling characteristics for the mountain passes. We also tow a 4,000lbs camper and wanted lateral strength and durability. Finally a tire that is about the same weight as stock for excellent gas mileage. These tires have been impressive on all counts and we have absolutely no regrets. Thank you Nokian!

while driving a SEAT Arona
Driving on mostly town for 500 average miles
Bought fronts 2 months ago and performing really well. Feel very confident with them as they have good grip and positive road handling.
Not had them long enough to judge wear, but no noticeable wear so far. Only drawback seems to be they are quite noisy offering a noticeable whining/purr running at 40 + mph. Still, good for the price £80 each.

while driving a Nissan D40
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 easy going miles
These tires do not play well with other brands (2 radar on back and 2 Goodyear on front) if you are only buying 2 i recommend against it.. the moment I drove out of the tire shop my ute was wandering all over the road... the result and review may have been different had I put 4 brand new ones all around but money is tight... have since removed and put the 4 road tires back on and ute drives like brand new again.. as I said could be different with a set of 4 but they don't play nice as a pair with goodyears

Writing about the Bridgestone Dueler All Terrain AT002 rated 53%
while driving a Mitsubishi triton
Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 spirited miles
Driven 2000+km with them fitted on low mileage small 4x4 with upgraded suspension & they are close to being the worst Tires/Tires I have ever owned. And no matter what they say, the sidewalls on these are too soft and the tread footprint is too small and therefore it feels feels like you chassis is floating on jelly. Because of this you have to run them at between 40lb and 45lb ( cold) just to be able to get a stable responsive ride, but then (of course) you get an extremely rough ride. They are very quiet on new bitumen roads in the cities but buzz loudly on the older bitumen, and on gravel you have to yell to communicate with passengers they are so loud. They grip well in the wet & dry on straight and slight bends but under-steer on sharper bends, especially in the wet. I had a set of cheap Monsta Terrain Grippers before these and yes, they where noisy but at least they felt stable and where better in the wet. They had a much wider footprint on the road and the handling was so much better than these Duelers.

Writing about the Kumho Crugen HT51 rated 73%
while driving a Toyota 4runner
Driving on mostly country roads for 30000 spirited miles
I've had the Kumho Crugen HT51 for about 30,000 miles on a 4x4 4Runner. I purchased these because in some other tire tests, they were rated close behind one of the top-scoring Michelin Defender LTX/MS, at a much lower price. They seem to be a clone of that tire.

Overall, these tires have provided good dry, wet, snow, and ice traction, and excellent fuel mileage. My 4x4 4Runner with a lift averages over 20mpg. My one complaint would be that the shoulders seem to wear a faster than the center, and they don't have full-depth cipes. Despite having a 60k mile rating, after 25-30k miles, they're already mostly bald on the shoulders and the tires are already losing some snow and ice traction.

One amazingly shocking and unexpected "pro" has been offroad performance and durability. I haven't had a true off-road or all terrain tire, but I've done some moderately intense offroading in these, which they definitely weren't made for. I was terrified, and really just crossing my fingers I didn't get a blow out on some rough high-clearance, 4WD-required jeep roads, like the Lead King Basin and the American Basin. But these tires somehow just kept trucking. I probably just got lucky, but I'm still impressed.

Would I buy these as an offroad tire? No. But if you're planning on doing 95% on-road highway and forest service road driving, and are looking for great dry, wet, snow, and ice traction, and good efficiency, from a budget tire, I would put these near the top of your list.

Writing about the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT rated 90%
while driving a Fiat Fullback
Driving on mostly country roads for 1500 easy going miles
Swapped to there's from pirelli at+ , instantly impressed, good steering response, better in the wet, much better in sloppy muddy fields tracks, covered approx 1500 miles and still have the bobbles on the tread so hopefully will wear well, the road noise is quieter than the pirelli with a pleasant not intrusive hum, MPG seems to have stayed the same , shocked as thought it would drop dramatically, only complaint at the moment is they seem harsh over rough road surfaces (more potholes in the UK these days!)
They do look good on the truck too , pleased so far

Writing about the Nokian Rotiiva AT rated 89%
while driving a Toyota Tundra DC 2005
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 average miles
These tires are on a 2wd truck that is used for the whole gamut of truck stuff - towing 3500# camper from Maine to TN, car trailers, towing at the upper limit around locally for construction, heavy (over) loaded, and 20hr drives on vacations. Nice that my size has an XL higher weight rating then norm, so it generally has good
stability at all speeds. Have had Firestone Wilderness AT and General Grabber AT previously - liked the Firestone for the first 1/2 of tread, but wet traction and hydroplaning performance diminished quickly afterwards. The Grabber wet traction did not diminish as quickly nor as badly as the Wilderness, but handling was noticeably squirmy especially when new. The Rotiiva AT so far is better than both - wet traction is still good, and hydroplaning remains a non issue. Winter criteria is better than any AT I’ve used yet. First set with no flats - lucky or Kevlar??!! Will be on short list to buy again if still available.
