So far i drove them in the dry and wet and they work well, the only advantage i can feel so far when compared to the Pirelli scorpion zero is that these tires are helping the suspension work to make the ride smoother. |

Today I got my second set of Nokian Weatherproof. They are great. I went to Iceland this year and drove many 4x4 roads on lava gravel. After 23000km including Iceland and aprox. 10.000km German Autobahn I had to replace them. They got rather noisy at the end... but other than that, over and over again. |

Offroad traction in the snow is great, hardly had wheel spin on 20 cm of snow

Can't fault my Nokian Weatherproofs - super in the wet and on the odd cold morning we have had down 'ere - no snow (yet). No visible wear of any sort.

Last 2 weeks was snow all around and this tire is amazing, not because it is good in the snow but because it is a all session tire that is great in the snow, not to much like it out there.

How the hell do you get that sort of mileage on them? I've had a pair on the front of my FL2 for 6000 miles and they're about 1mm off the wear bars. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE |

I can see these tyres have had good reviews on the slippery white stuff, but how do they do on the mud? |

On a muddy off road trail no issues but inside a muddy field i dont have the confidence to check as all of this type of tires (road biased) can not handle it. |

Managed to destroy a Nokian Weatherproof on rock - sidewall sliced - I doubt if even an extreme off road tyre would have survived. Tried Oponeo who are mentioned earlier in this thread. Brill customer service - they phoned me immediately re a typo in my delivery address and tyre came Royal Mail in two days. Will use them again for Nokians, and take memo to self- AVOID sharp rocks....... |

Bit of longer term feedback - I've had the Nokian Weatherproofs on for just over 2 years now and have covered about 20,000 miles on them. They have been used for the daily commute in UK (so roads that are at best like farm tracks and some off roading on trails in Portugal. Performance off road was superb - coped well with the loose surfaces and rocky tracks - only got wheelspin a couple of times on very steep loose big stuff.

Over 2 years since I started this thread and this weekend was the first time on snow and ice.
