What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 53 owner reviews found online.

The Nokian Outpost A/T receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from users for its exceptional balance of off-road capability and surprisingly quiet, comfortable on-road manners. Reviewers frequently praise its standout winter and wet-weather traction, solid load-carrying stability, and rugged appearance, making it a compelling year-round option for trucks and SUVs.

Pros

  • Exceptionally low road noise for an all-terrain tire
  • Impressive traction in snow, ice, and heavy rain
  • Smooth and comfortable highway ride
  • Strong off-road grip on dirt, gravel, and light mud
  • Stiff sidewalls providing excellent load support and reduced trailer sway

Cons

  • Some users report occasional wet traction slip or squirm when starting from a dead stop
  • Can trap small stones in the tread gaps, requiring manual removal
  • A few reviewers noted a firmer or slightly louder ride depending on vehicle application and tire size
  • Partial-depth siping may reduce wet-weather performance as the tread wears down

Worth knowing

  • Users running 10-ply and 35-inch heavy-duty variants noted stiff sidewalls that effectively minimized trailer sway when towing campers and heavy loads.
  • Owners switching from stock M/T or factory tires on vehicles like the Toyota Tacoma, RAM 1500, and GMC Sierra reported significant improvements in ride comfort and cabin quietness.
