Winter ready with the Nokian Rotiiva

Got these today. I will post my thoughts on them once I get to run them on snow and ice. Anyone else running them?

 

I got a set of Rotiiva's for my work truck, its a F150. I haven't hit any snow yet, not much rain either. I'm on the wet coast and I know these are going to clear the slush well. I had some Vitiivas on it before and did some serious slush and snow driving with them. FYI I don't pay for my work truck tire's and went with these because I believe they will be more than enough for my commute. There smooth and quiet on the 99 hwy.
Im thinking of picking up some Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV the new winter tire for my Tacoma in a 265/70/16. My current tires the Dura Trac have 46km's Canadian on them and only have 2mm before the wear bars. Their good for next summer but those Nokians would keep my 07 "open diff" Tacoma 4x4 out of the ditch for sure.
I'd get Rotiva's but I want a true winter now that ive got a brand new Ski Doo Summit to put in the box. And I'll be heading around Whistler a lot. Besides Id also like to try a set of Toyo AT 2's after the Dura Trac's are spent.
I didnt feel that much confidence in the Dura's climbing the high mountain highway passes because it was easy to make them spin at highway speeds with just a little too much throttle. In the slush, rain and gravel they were great though. I think these Rotiivas would be a better "winter performing" tire than Dura's but the Dura Trac just look so dam good.

 

Yeah the duratracs look the sh1t and i initially was going to get a set. I was concerned over the wear and their abillity on highway ice which i deal with alot.

 

Any thoughts ??? How did the tires hold up?pros and cons?

 

I run the Nokian Rotiiva AT's,and really impressed with them. They took me through some deep ass snow last winter that I probably shouldn't have tried. Very quiet as well.
