Those look great! I have heard mostly great things from Nokian and this appears to be another fine addition to their product list. I would love to see some pics of a KJ with them on. I wonder how they will stack up against the competition.

Look great I think. The fella at the tire dealership seems to think they are going to offer them in a wider variety of sizes too :D

As it is now only the 235/85-16 could be made to work. They just get bigger from there :( But they sure are purty 8)

Hmm nokians. if these are just as slippery as the vatiivas, i don't think anyone will wanna ride on them on highway.. especially with tread depth like that.

yeah I know hyedipin...LOL. No disrespect, but I think you must have had a set of lemon Nokians...I have tried really hard to find a single bad review or anyone that has had any grip problems with their tires and cannot find anything. zip zero...with one exception, your posts on the various forums :wink: :wink: no matter where I look, they get the best of the best reviews. I've told a few people about your testing problems and they were absolutely shocked and couldn't believe you were able to get them to spin where other tires didn't. Oh well, I guess they aren't for everyone....BTW, which tires have you settled on?? Did you get the Generals???

10/12 is the last day, tomorrow we are supposed to get some rain here, I can finally try them in true rain weather, will post back. Tomorrow will make or break the deal. I surely hope it continues to rain!
I wonder if 17" size makes a difference and cause my problems.. Anyway, don't want to hijack this thread.
