Default Nokian Vatiiva Tires

So I am in the market for some 33x12.50R17 that I can wrap around my Stock Rubi rims and I was wondering if anyone is running these:

Nokian Vatiiva M/T

(Not sure if I can post a link to their site, so I wont).

Looking for information on:
- how well they wear
- how they perform (mud/snow/rain/rocks/hamsters/etc)
- if you have bought them and now suffer horrible buyers remorse and loose sleep over them

I was thinking about going with no-lift for the time being (just gonna throw on some 1.5" spacers)......so any feed back would be great.

TIA

My friend has those on his 2002 f-150. He hates them. They are loud and wear fast. Plus I think they look ugly! They could be different on a jeep but he has nothing good to say. Good luck with the tire search.

anybody else running these tires and have an opinion on them! Just about to pull the trigger on a set of 35"x12.50"x17's and i'm leaning towards the nokians and nitto trail grapplers m/t's. The jeep is my daily driver, so the tires have to perform well on hwys, as well snow/ice covered roads here in the country of Canada, during the winter season!

You are comparing one of the best MT's available to a price point tire. It's not even a comparison. Get the Nitto Trail Grapplers.
