Do Chonky Tires Impact Your EV Range? We're About To Test The Nokian Outpost nAT To Find Out!

We've spent some time testing EV specific tires (or tyres) over the years, and one question that's come up again and again relates to off-road capable tires for larger EVs like pickup trucks and SUVs. General wisdom says that the more aggressive the tread and more capable the off-road tire is, the less efficient and useful it is on the road. But can there be an EV-friendly off-road tire that offers both? We're starting a new long-term loaner with Nokian Tyres to test out their Outpost nAT tires to find out. ---- 00:00 Introduction 04:47 An editorial note ;) 05:35 Why we're reviewing these 07:02 Conditions at the time of filming 07:49 Tire noise 08:31 Everyday handling 08:49 Chonk V Power Delivery on Tarmac 11:11 Noticeable noise above 50 mph 12:29 Efficiency thus far 15:12 Outpost nAT specs 17:17 Feedback 18:02 Price 18:26 Built with EVs in Mind 20:03 Handling the garden 22:50 This is an ongoing process 24:10 Thanks, and goodbye! ---- Presenter: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield.
