Nordman North 9 SUV rated 81% while driving a Ford Unknown

The tires are on a 2020 Ford Explorer 4/WD 3.0L Twin Turbo. Just put them on in mid-October 2025 (purchased the vehicle earlier in the year, so these are the first winter tires on it). Living in the Northwest part of Montana, we get challenging winter weather and these tires have been a pleasure to have on the vehicle. By our standards, it has been a mild winter so far (only 22 inches of snow and unseasonably warm temperatures, day and night). However, we have had considerable rain and these tires have performed admirably, getting excellent traction and braking with no hydroplaning whatsoever. Our road is one lane with large pot holes, making getting off of the road to allow another car to go by a possibly scary situation. Again, no issues with traction or braking. Not much else to say, as I mentioned I would buy them again. Come spring, I'll be putting the Nokian Outpost nATs on the vehicle until October 2026 rolls around.

Second set of these on a Mercedes GLC. Absolutely perfect and can’t fault them in any way. (but haven’t used in winter weather beyond light snow and frosty roads). Get minimum 30k+ of even wear front and back. Very quiet even when worn. With 4WD, they offer more grip than I can ever use.
Have stood light off-roading and plenty of kerb bumping without any damage. I would now not buy anything else.

Dry and wet grip feel good in my use which is mainly long highway stretches but with plenty of medium speed curvy back roads. I run them on my 2013 Lexus GX460. Have not had opportunity to test in snow or ice as of yet. Off road grip has been great with that mostly being loose gravel, soft dirt, and some mud/water crossings typically with rock bottoms. Wear has been very good in my experience so far with about 15,000 miles on them yet. I expect they will last to about 60,000 at the rate they are going however I will likely swap before making it that far. Previous tires I can compare to on this vehicle are Michelin primacy A/S and Toyo AT3. Compared to the Toyos, wear and handling are improved as well as needing less weight to be in balance. Comfort leans to the Toyo but it is close.

The tyres were a great all year round option for the Amarok at a great price.
They took everything that was thrown at them well without complaint and wouldn't hesitate to get them again in the future on another 4x4 or Truck/Pickup.
Good offroad on all terrains that I encountered, forest tracks, mud, water crossings, grass and sand.
They were also really good through winter and the snow, on ICE they weren't as confident inspiring as a full winter but is to be expected.
For a do it all offroad 4x4 tyre they were excellent and highly recommended.

It’s best all around highway summer SUV tires after hitting 80000 km tires start to lose grip in acceleration from Stand still , after hitting high speed it’s very good handling and still strong , year I bought it 2023 same year manufacture.

I have been using this set of tires since 2021.After year and a half and not more than 20 000km, i can easily can see that they aging fast even though I use silicon based protector on sides(summer) and the winter in my place is not so harsh. Beginning of 2025 one of the tires was deflated( by the way no matter how much i pump that tire she looks always soft, side walls looks quite weak to me) After visiting local tire center we found crack(~30cm) along the tire board sealing to the rim. I purchase new one and change it. Today Another one was found in same condition.

Stay far away from these tires - 1. They will not balance. 2. have a massive negative impact on consumption. 3. Noisy as hell, Cannot hear yourself think.

Used commercially for towing and off road work, they grip very well on road, relatively well off road (but they're not bfg at equivalent).. they do seem a little soft, they wear quickly and seem to puncture easily. More of a road tyre that can go off road well than an off road tyre. I do like the tyre, a good compromise
Michelin Latitude Cross rated 81% while driving a Mitsubishi Pajero

I wear this tyre for the last 20 years on my gen3 3.5V6 and gen4 3.8V6 Mitsubishi Pajeros with only two 6-12 month intervals during which I tried the Maxxis M/T, thinking they were more appropriate for my off road adventures. Said that I never had any issues before going off road and without having anything more to expect from a tyre going on road. Long story short I had the worst experience ever when driving on the wet without any significant off road gain plus a silly accident which costed me a huge by all means car damage and some serious rib fractures. I wouldn’t take in consideration the comparison between the Latitude Cross and the MT Maxxis as they come from a completely different perspective. But I haven’t tried any other tyres so far. Anyway driving about 40-60.000 km/year between long distances on the highway, long distances off road and towing my RIB through any possible path for 20 years is because I still can’t find any concrete downside for my tyres to take the risk of trying any other tyre.

I have these tires on a Mitsubishi L200, size 265/60 R18. They were a little noisy when new, but after about 100 km, they stopped making noise. On a dry road at speeds of about 140 km/h in corners and when braking, the car floats a little on the road, the sidewalls of the tires are very soft. On a wet surface, they have excellent grip and they hold on like glue even in corners. Overall, I am satisfied, if only the sidewalls were stiffer. I have driven them for about 1000 km in total, highways and county roads. I will simply summarize it as follows: on a dry road, they have their limits, but on a wet road, even in deep puddles, they hold on like glue. Overall, driving with them is safe, but it is definitely not a sports tire, so at speeds of about 150 km/h and higher, you have to be careful and anticipate.

This tire performs well in dry conditions and also does well in the wet. Everything else is quite okay, too. However, I had issues with the lateral grip on snow — I was very disappointed in that regard. Because of this, I won’t be buying this tire again.
