Saw a new AT tire in the 235/65/17 size at discount tire. They are "best" quality which places them above the cooper AT3 and yoko g015 etc. Has anyone heard of this brand before? https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/nokian-tire-rotiiva-at/p/25209#
Today, I bought 4 of these Tires: Atturo TrailBlade XT 235/65r17 SimpleTire.com has them for $109.77 each, I got all 4 for $439 https://simpletire.com/atturo-p235-65r17-76cg7afa-tires They are a Hybrid Terrain Tire, which has All Terrain tread pattern down the center of the tire, and Mud Terrain treads on the edges.
I've seen those out for a while now.. They look pretty badass, but I'm very skeptical of their on-road/wet performance. Discount tire has them rated at "good" which I think is their lowest rating lol. For a long while now I've been thinking I would get the yoko g015's because of their good road manners, but now this Nokian Rotiiva has my attention. I hadn't heard of them before so I did some research today and it looks like they're a pretty reputable tire, especially in snowy conditions which is perfect for me in Minnesnowta.
They're not on the wall here in Vegas... I just got my rotation done last week and didn't see these... Hmmmm.
I think they are online only.. But it would make sense if they only offered these tires in the northern states since they are known particularly for their winter tires.
Haven't taken them on the trail yet, but have driven then on wet roads, and they are well behaved. Hittin' up Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area January 5-7, and we will see how they do on the trail. Excellent traction in the mud. Small Hummm while going down the road, not annoying, but present, brings a smile to my face.
They do look pretty nice. How much do those tires weigh? Any change in MPG? Do you have a lift kit installed?
My Renegade: 2016 Renegade Trailhawk Lift: 1.5" Teraflex lift kit Wheel spacers: 1.5" Bumper/skid plate: Rocky Road Outfitters Winch Bumper and Skid Plate. Tires: Atturo Trailblade XT, 235/65r17 Tire weight: 34 lbs each (stock Falken Wildpeak HTs were 27lbs) Slight hum while driving down the road, not annoying, but present. Mpg loss ~4mpg
So, how's your set up suiting you... Have you taken those tires off-road? Any rubbing? I'm about to start on mine and those tires like perfect for our terrain here in Vegas.
Went with my Local Jeep Club to Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area in Gilmer, TX from Jan. 5 -7. We did some wheeling, trail riding, and obstacle climbing. We had a great time, and the tires did great. I was aired town to 20 psi, and had excellent traction on the rocks/sand/dirt/mud. The only thing I do not like about them is the MPG loss. On my normal work week i I would average about 27 mpg per tank with my stock tires. Now with these Trail Blades XTs, I average about 22 mpg per tank.
Sorry this thread has diverged from the original OP's question - but Nokian tires are top-shelf, especially for winter and inclement weather. The Rotiiva AT has been a great on and off-road tire for a while now. They're exactly what I'll be getting for my Renegade. I took was curious if any Renegade owners have purchased them and how they look and ride. There are multiple threads on Atturo tires. I had Nokian's WRG3 SUV tires on my last SUV and loved them. Their handling in heavy rain and snow is nothing short of crazy.
I am about to put the same lift, tires, and spacers on. Did you need to do any modifications to get everything to fit?
