215/70 16 Tire Review Highlights

Yokohama Geolandar G033 rated 56% while driving a Mitsubishi ASX 2
Driving on mostly country roads for 25000 easy going miles
Tires are on car from the day of leaving the factory. I consider them as offroads while on road they perform quite unrealiable. They stihli hlave 5mm left after 40 000 km. Noisy on all surfaces. Would not recomend..

Event ML698 rated 68% while driving a Toyota 2006 Avalon
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
I have these Event Ml698+ tires fitted on my 2006 RAV4. They are quite noisy on roads but otherwise work as expected. I haven't had a chance to test them in deep mud yet, though they seem to perform well in offroad conditions. I live in Finland and the winters are tough around here. These tires perform well enough in snow, when there is no ice underneath the snow layer. You have to drive really carefully on ice, if you wish to stay on the road. Additional studs would probably improve tracktion on ice.

Overall I'd recommend these tires for 4x4s, mainly because of the low price point.

Firestone Vanhawk 2 rated 73% while driving a Mercedes Benz Vito
Driving on mostly motorways for 6000 spirited miles
I fitted these to 2021 Merc Vito 116 SWB.
The stock tires were Continental Vancontact 200, which were well worn by 50k kms.
My first thoughts of the Firestones was that I'd made an awful mistake by having these fitted.
I was almost going to turn around after a few 100km and see if they would replace them with something with better traction.
However as it turns out the break in period for these tires is unusually long, I would say at least 1500km before I felt that these tires gave sufficient grip to be safe.
Now after 10k kms I have either developed a tolerance for them but objectively they offer great grip for me in most conditions and even in heavy rain have delivered good handling characteristics.
If you require good grip and handling straight after fitment then these may not be for you but as a driver with many years of experience with many vehicles and tires I can assure you that after a while these tires will start to feel much better, maybe its a lot of mould release compound trapped in the rubber but I have never experienced such a long break-in period as with these tires.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV rated 77% while driving a Volkswagen Caravelle
Driving on mostly country roads for 12400 average miles
I have the hakkapelitta 10 on my 2014 VW Caravelle (only front wheel drive) as a dedicatet winter tire. Here in northern Norway the roads are covered with hard packed snow and ice for almost 5 months of the year. Occasionally we get a change in the weather pattern and it dumps a lot of rain on the icy roads.

After two winters i can now say that the hakkapelitta 10 is the best option for those extrem conditions. They grip well on the slippery surfaces in high speeds and loose traction in a slow and controlled manner. Before, i lived in the southern parts of Norway, where i had the hakkapelitta R8, which is a non studded winter tire. It felt like that the non studded winter tire was better in digging itself throug deep snow and it was quieter when cornering, but that where the only advantages of the non studded winter tire to the hakkapelitta 10.

It is hard to judge how the treadwear is after now 20.000km of winter driving. The tires get only driven on mostly hard packed snowy and icy country roads and in the town. There is not that much driving on bare asphalt in the winter months, so the rubber of the tires almost doesn`t wear at all. Like 1mm after two winters. And the studs are still all there, still looking like new. Here in the nordics we usually buy new winter tires when the old ones get so old that the rubber hardens. The last studded winter tires i had to change had still 6mm of depth in the profile and all the studs where still there, but they were 8 years old which hade made the rubber hard.

Radar RPX900 rated 85% while driving a Jeep Patriot
Driving on mostly motorways for 5000 easy going miles
The ride is so smooth and very quiet. It is so comfortable driving with these tires. Driving style is easy going that is why, there are still a lot of life on the tires after driving for more than 5000 miles.

Hankook Dynapro HP2 RA33 rated 87% while driving a Mitsubishi ASX 2
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 easy going miles
I bought these tires in 2020 and until today they have 40.000km. I used them approximately 40% in they city, 55% on highway and 5% for light off road. In the city tires are great but I would like little better comfort when I pass on big holes with slow speed. The comfort during trips is much better with higher speeds. I am satisfied from breaking and handling under all weather conditions. The consumption is good and the road noise is low. Also the tires are very acceptable for very light off road mini adventures. I am planning to replace them in 1,5 year and 99% I will buy them again.

Nokian Outpost APT rated 96% while driving a Volvo xc70, 2.4t, 200bhp
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
I’ve had them for about half a year now and I LOVE these tires. Very, very much a happy camper. Ride is surprisingly supple. A little added road noise, slight roar over regular All-Seasons but not noticeable unless you look for it. I’ve daily’d these tires from 90F (32C) to the now constant 15F (-10C) and I have yet to hit a situation where I’ve said “I wish I had a different tire”. They’ve seen hundreds of miles of dirt, gravel and off-road use, as well as about 10k miles of highway use. In the constant snow/ice conditions we have currently where I live they have done better than all but the best snow tires I’ve owned, which happen to be Nokian’s own Hakkapilitta line and Michelin’s X-Ice line. Much, much more confident than the Hankook snow tires I had on one of my other cars. If you're going between Trail/AT-Lite tires like these or conventional All-Terrains, Consider this: I had recently taken a 300 mile road-trip, 50 miles of which was gravel, dirt, and rocky forest roads and the APT’s performed marvelously. I hit spots and rocks that would have easily popped or damaged regular All-Seasons or All-Weathers and the APT’s ate them up. That's the type of trip that I see the APT’s beating out regular AT’s, as it wouldn’t have been worth making 80% of the trip worse just to be slightly better for that short 20% stint.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 Sport 2 SUV rated 73% while driving a Audi A6 Allroad 2.5
Driving on mostly motorways for 10000 easy going miles
I'm using these tires mainly on-road. I am substituting a road tire with expectation for more ruggedness as a pies of mid when I do go on rough terrain during ca. 5% of the time. They are surprisingly quiet and comfortable on asphalt, I don;t mind that the tire has vague and numn handling, I am using it on a heavy family car.

Continental AllSeasonContact rated 94% while driving a Hyundai ix35
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
These tires are amazing, previously i had used winter/ summer tire accordingly and never dared to buy all season, but after buying this I can confidently say I am never going back. For dry they are amazing, only slip has occurred when you aggressively dump the clutch near a stop light. Corners can be taken confidently and with a lot of speed. The wet grip is excellent. 140-150 kph in an autostrada during rain is no problem, car feels planted. Never felt any aquaplaning. Looking forward to seeing how they handle in snow and ice as this will be my first winter with them.
