Most customers rate Wet Traction highly with scores of 9-10, highlighting reliable grip in wet conditions. A few lower scores suggest occasional variability, but overall performance excels for rugged all-terrain use.

Love this tire, immediately felt the driving difference in... stopping distance, and in raining condition vs the factory installed set of tires.

...In light rain and standing water, you can hear the deep-siped tires pushing out water from the contact patch...
Rubber compound is soft and grabby on pavement. Tires are very quiet and the ride is supple at 32psi. In light rain and standing water, you can hear the deep-siped tires pushing out water from the contact patch. I drive for economy and consistency, and these tires provide a low-noise, high-comfort, well-controlled ride. I felt far more confidence and control when encountering patches of black ice at highway speed. Only 1k miles on these tires, so I cannot yet comment on treadwear. A huge step up in quality and control from my two year old Kelly Edge tires on my Civic. Overall, the Encompass is impressive for the price.

The Nitto Ridge Grappler earns strong winter traction scores in rugged conditions, with many customers rating snow and deep snow performance 9-10. Ice traction shows more variability (scores 5-10), but the tire delivers reliable capability in harsh winter environments typical for all-terrain use.

...The winter traction is equal to a dedicated winter tire---at least the first winter, while the dry and wet traction are more than acceptable...
I bought a set of these tires from DTD in May 2021. Overall they do as advertised. The winter traction is equal to a dedicated winter tire---at least the first winter, while the dry and wet traction are more than acceptable. Ride comfort and noise are much better than a typical winter tire, but not quite as good as a touring all-season. Treadwear so far is pretty good; started at 11.5/32" and now, with one rotation and the second rotation coming soon, the tires range from a hair less than 8/32" to 9/32". I expect to get 40K, but 60K does not seem likely. I had a set of directional Nokian WRG3 a few years ago. These tires are similar but the ride is a hair firmer and the wet traction is a hair better. Recommended for drivers who need good winter traction, do not need the absolute best cornering/handling and who do not want to deal with changing tires twice per year.

...Finally got a healthy snowfall first one since i had them installed and i am really impressed. They cut through the snow with relative ease had to sudden stop and never once did i feel vehicle start to slide was in control the entire time...
So after looking for new tires for a while to replace my Bridgestone Ecopias. i decided to pull the trigger on a set of Nokians. Ive heard of the name but thats about it. I wanted a tire that could handle snow well because being in West Michigan you can get some wicked winter weather. Finally got a healthy snowfall first one since i had them installed and i am really impressed. They cut through the snow with relative ease had to sudden stop and never once did i feel vehicle start to slide was in control the entire time. They arent the quietest tire ive noticed a little more road noise at highway and have noticed a slight hit in fuel economy maybe about 1mpg but im willing to make that sacrifice in economy and comfort. I will definetly consider a set of Nokians when it comes time again.

Customers overwhelmingly rate the Nitto Ridge Grappler's dry traction as excellent, with most scoring 9s and 10s. High marks highlight confident grip and responsive handling in rugged conditions, aligning perfectly with its all-terrain design. A few 7s suggest minor variability, but overall performance excels for intended use.

...Great steering response. Dry braking is very good...
Have only had tires on the car since 12/05/22, but I definitely like them. Absorbs road surfaces better than the old tires I had. Great steering response. Dry braking is very good. Have not experienced heavy rains, ice, or snow as of yet, so that can not be evaluated. If these tires
are available in the size I need for the Prius, I would choose them when I need tires for that vehicle.

Very Loud at speeds of 30 & 60 MPH (and 90) so seems to be a resonance issue. Ok treadwear, ok traction on snow, good dry traction. Reasonably priced. Won't buy again to due to the road noise issue.

...The outer edge was tighter and had continuous ribs in the center for a quite rid and also high grip levels in the hot dry summers, especially during cornering. In all situations the grip level was very predictive and progressive...
I would definitely purchase these again, but they are being discontinued by the manufacturer. I drove these in lots of snow in the lake effect region of Lake Erie. It had big enough lugs to really grip in all levels of snow and dirt/gravel. It also had the sipes and jagged edges to grip the ice. I drove them around the country in the summer in some very high temps as well, and they always performed well. I greatly appreciated the Asymmetric tread pattern. The outer edge was tighter and had continuous ribs in the center for a quite rid and also high grip levels in the hot dry summers, especially during cornering. In all situations the grip level was very predictive and progressive. Best aspects were the tire wear, grip, and year-round performance. I wish tire mfrs would keep successful tires around for more than a few years. It requires substantial work to compare specs and find the right tire, it would be nice to just purchase tires that I already like. The tread wear indications in the center rib of tread is a novel idea which is pretty handy when monitoring tire wear.

My goal since I drive a large luxury sedan was comfortable (bump absorbtion), quiet tread with desirable winter characteristics. The mileage warranty of 60k was OK with me. I have to say that the tires are quiet and definitely absorb the road bumps. I am confident that they will deliver winter performance but have not experienced a winter with them yet. They are wearing a little faster. My measurements indicate 15% faster.
In warm weather the soft rubber construction will affect emergency hard braking situations a little. I still like them because they delivered the best day to day charcteristics which complement my car type and driving style. A spirited driver should consider carfully if your goal of a long wearing tire is the most important.

We 1st had these tires on a Honda Oddessy minivan and we were blown away. Now the Sonata has turned into a beast in the snow. Ride quality is nice and overall a great tire. We will rebuy again when the time comes. Highly recommend these tires!! Perfect for the Northeast climates!!

I Based on a long history of using Nokian WR G# tires, I expected and have received good value for cost. I find it remarkable that Nokian & Michelin are able to offer treadwear warranties on such tires. I will take these tires to a Tire Rack Street School in the snow in 2 days, as an instructor vehicle.
