Our take

The Nokian Outpost APT is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize longevity in an all-terrain tire. With a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, it surpasses the category average, making it a cost-effective option for those who cover lots of ground. Its dry grip and handling scores of 7 provide reliable on-road performance, suitable for mixed driving conditions.

In the all-terrain category, off-road traction is key, but for those who spend significant time on pavement, dry grip and handling are crucial. The Outpost APT delivers on these fronts, but its wet grip score of 4 falls short of the category average, indicating potential challenges in rainy weather. Comfort and noise are average, with no standout features to differentiate it from the competition.

Compared to competitors like the Toyo Open Country A/T III and the Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season, the Outpost APT excels in treadlife but lags in wet performance. If wet grip is a priority, the Pirelli might be a better fit, while the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 offers a balanced package.

Drivers who frequently face wet conditions might want to look elsewhere, but if treadlife and dry performance are your main concerns, the Outpost APT is worth considering.

Pros

  • Outstanding treadlife with a 65,000-mile warranty, which is well above the all-terrain category average of 55,717 miles.
  • Dry grip score of 7 exceeds the category average of 6.6, offering better control on paved surfaces.
  • Handling score of 7 aligns with dry grip, providing a balanced on-road performance for an all-terrain tire.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is below average, which could be a concern for drivers frequently encountering wet conditions.
  • Wet grip score of 4 is below the category average of 5.2, which may affect performance in rainy conditions.
  • Noise level is average at best, matching the category benchmark but not offering any improvement over competitors like the Toyo Open Country A/T III.
  • The Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season offers better wet grip, making it a preferable choice for drivers prioritizing wet-weather performance.
