Had this as OEM tires on my Wrangler JK.
THESE TIRES SUCK !
They are "somewhat OK" on road but they stink to hell as soon as you hit dirt, no traction at all on gravel, grass, rock (don't even think about ANY kind of mud!) Snow? Bah... forget it!

Bought them in 05, rotated them with every oil change (5000K) they wore evenly and am now just down to the wear bar (75,000k). Bought the Revo 2 because of the satisfaction of the ride and limited off road capabilities.

I have had these tires for 3 months now and figured I would write a review. I only have about 1500 miles on a set of 305/70R16’s on my 08 Hummer H3 but I am extremely happy with there on and off road performance. I originally planned on running another set of Cooper Discoverer S/T but due to a recent price increase I decided to log into each vendor we get tires from and checking availability and pricing on 305/70R16's. Then something caught my eye, the Nokian Vatiiva M/T. I had previously looked at this tire but the vendor only had them in 285’s at the time. Then I noticed the price, a good $72 cheaper then the Cooper S/T’s ($360 on a set of five) I was looking at and $54 cheaper then the smaller 285’s Vatiiva M/T. I decided to give them a call and see if it was something being discounted or not (I didn’t want them if they were being discounted incase one got ruined and need to be replaced). He informed me they had just got a truck load of Nokian in at a great price and were offering huge deals on what was in that truck. After thinking it over for about an hour and reading reviews I decided to order them and I couldn’t be happier. I ended up paying $159ea, so just under $800 for the set of 5. Nokian is a Finnish company well know for there snow tires but not much else. Prior to purchasing them I already new they were made in USA but I decided to run the DOT number and they are made in Albany Georgia by Cooper Tire & Rubber. They clean great and never had any issues in the mud or on the trails……but what I am actually most impressed by is there on road performance. With a tread pattern this aggressive you would expect on road performance to be harsh but they ride is very smooth and they balanced up great with very minimal weight. They are pretty quite for a mud tire but they are noticeable. They start to make noise at 30 MPH and they get louder up to 60MPH and from there on up the noise level remains the same. I love the sound and find myself listening to them over the radio and not because I can‘t hear the radio! They handle great and have never felt unstable. They have been down the thru way at 75-80MPH and they feel safe and just as comfortable (if not more) as the stock 265/75r16 Goodyear RT/S. Wet road performance is only decent or fair but its to be expected with a mud tire. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t feel unsafe and your are not going to go off the road when it rains but under heavy braking on some wet roads it does tend to trigger the ABS. I can’t comment on how they are in the snow because I haven’t had them long enough and they probably won’t see much if any snow ( I have a separate set of wheels and tires for winter). Overall I couldn’t be happier with them but I will write a couple of follow up reviews when I get a few more miles on them and can comment on wear.
Well here is the cruncher ladies and gents. I own a 2005 F150 King Ranch 4X4 with only 15446 miles on it, that isn't a misprint. It is equipped with BF Goodrich Rugged Trail TAs. The small rubber tits aren't even worn off of the tires yet. I have never used the vehicle off road and it has been operated only on paved roads (in good condition I might add) (the roads). The vehicle has been pampered to say the least still like new in and out not a scratch. It is always garaged when not in use. I guess the BFGs just can't take the southern and southwest heat. I see favorable coments for these tires orriginating from the northern regions. But let me clue you from the looks of my tires this appears to be another Firestone type feasco. Don't be too surprised when we learn alot of accidents and rollovers can be contributed to these tires. Look forward to a class action suit.

purchased these for my f-150 2wd 40k miles and 3 yrs ago.Can't say enough good about them.I live in Michigan were the winters are unpredictable to say the least, snow,freezing rain, etc.The tires handle it all on my 2wd with little problem.I am an avid boater and really like how they perform on a wet boat launch.Best of all they are just about half worn through now look like they will go another 40k.As for the cracking and peeling sidewalls lay off the tire dressing its bad for them.I would recommend these tires to anyone.Only downside is the price but you will get what you pay for in terms of quality,durability, and performance.

I've had these tires for 40,000+ miles (5 yrs), daily driver/woods truck. With reg. rotation & proper air pressure, tires still have decent tread. Dry road driving is very good. not too noisy, wet road I tend to loose traction around corners (big engine / light ass truck).

Drove on f150 SCREW FX4. Offroaded heavily. Put lots of road miles on them. Do very good in rain and dry offroad circumstances. As someone stated before me, VERY dangerous to drive on sloped hill after recent rain... very slippery. I almost rolled down a hill in my truck on a slope... With mud terrains, not an issue - Again, if you're in the mud alot, get a mud terrain tire

Just put on a set of 35x12.50x70's on my 07 2500 Megacab 4x4, replacing my worn/worthless out Hankook Dynapro MT's. This Nitto is a far superior tire, in terms of ride, road noise, and looks. I'll post up again at the end of the year with more results. I got 13k miles out of my Hankooks...terrible tire, horribly loud, wear rate was absurd. I think Nitto hit it out of the park with this MT!

Dont buy this tire if your size doesnt come in 3 ply sidewall. Even then I would be a bit gun shy. I sold them as soon as I got back from my first Rock Crawl with them. Sold them at a huge loss but I considered it a worthless tire. I suppose if mud is all you run they would be ok but dont take them in the rocks
