Ever wanted a tire that thrived in every circumstance you could possibly throw at it? So did Justin Housman, a California-based journalist with Adventure Journal who tried to push our new all-terrain tire, the NOKIAN TYRES Outpost APT, past its limits.
Rain.
"During rainy driving on roads, they’re easily the most confidence-inspiring tire I’ve driven," Housman said.
Snow.
"The Outposts feel like you’ve gotten out and installed tire cables."
Mud.
"Every time I spun my tires through the muck, I expected to get stuck. Never did."
By Justin's own admission, the Outposts never failed him.
"I’ve had my car for a few years now, and these are my favorite tires thus far," Housman said.
That's in line with the pledge we've attached to our new family of all-terrain, all-weather tires, the NOKIAN TYRES Outpost Family.
I will:
- Extend the boundaries of where I can go
- Extend my terrain by removing limits
- Extend my toughness by finding inner strength
- Extend my travel by forging new paths
If you want a tire that's tough enough for the extremes, including winter weather, but versatile enough for the everyday, the Outpost AT and APT are for you. But which should you choose for your adventures?
NOKIAN TYRES Outpost AT
If you drive a pickup or good-sized SUV, the Outpost AT is your ultimate adventure tool. Its sidewalls and aggressive tread are reinforced with puncture-resistant Aramid fibers, a technology we call Aramid Shield. For those who are unaware, Aramid is the same material used in bulletproof vests -- you might know it as Kevlar. Don't go shooting the tires (for so many reasons, this is a terrible idea) -- but know that the lightweight Aramid fibers add significant durability so you can tackle any surface.
The Outpost AT is built to make work productive and leisure limitless. With a canyon-deep tread pattern stocked with technology that resists rocks and claws through mud and snow, it's ready for hardcore off-road adventure.
NOKIAN TYRES Outpost APT
If versatility is your jam and your drive a crossover, small-to-mid-sized SUV or small pickup, the Outpost APT is an ideal option. It's an all-purpose-terrain tire flexible enough to let drivers of SUVs, crossovers and small light trucks thrive in all conditions, from getaways to the daily grind, thanks to Aramid sidewalls and an adaptable tread compound.
Its unique tread pattern glides through tough terrain but still offers comfort on dry roads. The Outpost APT is tailored to provide advanced performance without sacrificing high mileage, with a silica compound that maximizes safety, steeliness and style.
