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.
