265/65 18 Tire Review Highlights

Nokian Outpost nAT rated 93% while driving a Chevrolet Colarodo
Driving on mostly motorways for 30000 easy going miles
I drove them for 30,000 miles on my 23 Colorado Trailboss before I traded in the vehicle. The dry grip and everyday performance was excellent in a 40 mile each way daily commute. Limited snow experience, only a few days in a mild winter, with nothing deeper than 3 inches, but they performed well when called upon in the white stuff. Milage was important and there was no significant difference between the Nokians and stock Goodyears that spent the first 20k on the truck. After 30,000 miles the wear indicator still read 80%. Durability, traction, and milage were the very best aspects of this tire

Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 spirited miles
These tires were on my 4x4 truck when I bought it. The previous owner provided the service records, so I know they've been on it for only 16k miles, I drove it for about 6k of those miles. They're 5 years old, produced in the 3rd quarter of 2018. The dry traction isn't great, there were a couple instances the tires broke loose when I wasn't even flooring it. I would be on a moderate hill and give some extra gas from a stop and they would start spinning enough that the truck would barely move, and this was in the middle of the summer with dry roads. The biggest problem is how it performs in the rain. These tires are absolutely the worst I've owned when the ground is saturated. I almost spun out a few times at low speeds on sharper turns, but luckily was able to recover from the loss of traction before anything bad happened. In the rain I don't trust them at all, they don't feel stable in turns and inspire zero confidence. I don't really know how it performs on the ice, but on the snow covered highways in New England, it actually performed well in 4x4 mode. I do drive slowly when it comes to snow or potentially icy conditions, I never try to push the envelope, but they seemed to have good traction with very minimal spinning and virtually no sliding, I was actually impressed. They got me through two winters. Another positive is they are very quiet. Overall, I definitely would not ever want these tires again. Perhaps they're better suited for off-road conditions.

General Grabber Arctic rated 0% while driving a Chevrolet silverado 1500
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 average miles
I have these on my 2012 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 Crew Cab 4wd. I'm know a lot of people think "why snow tires on a 4wd?" Because 5,600 lbs! That's why! I got them for stability and braking control. Sure, getting up to speed is easy enough but I'd rather have the ability to stay on the road and stop. These tires do a remarkable job. They are a little noisy on slightly wet and dry pavement but not unbearable. For the price they're hard to beat (~$150 ea at the time of this review, 11/2021). I've had them for exactly one year (one season) and I was literally anxious to have them reinstalled before the first snowfall. They added so much more stability to my truck, even with the StabiliTrak garbage GM put on the truck. I'd highly recommend these as a great budget winter/snow tire!

I see all of this feedback relating to the tires in SoAfrica, but I live here in the US - New England. These tires rock in the winter. We had 9+ feet (3 meters) of snow in one month that I ran these tires, and I didn''t need to shovel in to my pickup to my home. Only tire I've had that was better here was Armstrong's Tru Trac. Unfortunately, Perelli bought them and discontinued the beast.
