my nokian vatiiva m/t review

These tires are awesome in snow! I honestly had to check it was shifting out of 4wd with these tires! I climed over a 2 foot snowbank that was plowed to the end of a parking lot(thick heavy snow) my tires did not slip in 2wd on the hard packed parking lot. I had to give it a lot of gas to get slip. I then nudged up to a wall of steep snow and inched forward untill the rear tires sliped and it took a lot t. not enough snow has fallen to test in 4wd but my last truck was a 95 with 22re and 31 inch bridgstone dualler a/t and they did not come close to the nokians in the same testings! so I recommend them.

I'm looking at getting this same tire but I've never seen them mounted on a vehicle. I know you had another post about them where you said you'd post pics but no pics . Would you mind posting some now?

Aren't those a summer tire? I'm sure you'd be far more impressed with the performance of the Hakkowhatever's.

Back from the dead.

How would you say the tire's road manners are? I need some new shoes soon. I am running a Kumho MT right now. They weren't the best in a light snow on the highway but otherwise are great. Not that I was trying to go 90 or anything but Kumhos were pretty slick feeling.
