The new Nokian Outpost nAT claims to be an all terrain tire you can use in snow, but how good is it? Nokian invented winter tires, so they're pretty confident, so confident in fact they suggested I test it against the king of winter tires, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, along with their much loved all weather tire, the Nokian WRG4 SUV, and their high mileage all season tire, the Nokian One SUV.
As always, it's a really in depth test, comparing the snow handling, traction and braking performance of the four sets of tires to see which is best in the winter!
Can an all terrain tire really get close to a full winter tire, or out perform a good all weather in the snow? Or will be barely be able to match the all season? Only one way to find out.
It's worth noting that three of the tires are 3PMSF marked, which is the 3 peak mountain snowflake symbol, sometimes called "severe snow rating" which means they're tested to be legal winter tires. The Winter, All Weather and All Terrain tires carry the 3PMSF marking, but the all season does not.
The test size was 265/65 R17.

![The Differences Between 19 & 20 and 20 & 21 Wheels Tested! [Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S NAO]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oiPD8dBHmdM/mqdefault.jpg "The Differences Between 19 & 20 and 20 & 21 Wheels Tested! [Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S NAO]
Have you ever wondered what difference ticking the big wheel size option makes when specifying your new car? In this video I find out! I use a new Porsche 992 911 which comes standard with 19 front and 20 rear wheels, and test them against the optional 20 front and 21 rear wheels!
Both these wheel options use the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S NA0 tire which is specifically designed for the 992 911. The standard tire sizes are 235/40 R19 front and 295/35 R20 rear and the optional big wheel size is 245/35 R20 front and 305/30 R21 rear.
As usual I test the braking performance in the dry and wet, dry lap time, wet lap time and look at the noise and comfort of the two different sets of wheels.
Does fitting big wheels to your car really ruin the handling? Do big wheels make you faster around a track? Only one way to find out! Lets get testing.
