Swapped back on my OEM scorpion ATs with the dodge ram wheels and my math of 4% increase with the Nokians still holds up.

My Scorpion ATs are very loud and nearing the end of there tread life at 24K miles. Looking for a good all season to replace them. I was wondering if you could give an update on the Nokian HT one's? Still working out well for you? ThanksInstalled the Nokian HT One's today (275/65/R20) after 493 miles on the OEM Scorpion AT's. Can't comment on any increased efficiency given that I've been gunning it whenever possible. First highway drive does seem smoother. Scorpion's are going up on the marketplace now.
I just installed the Nokians on my new R1S and you are exactly to the point. The nokians are not the final answer to the stiff ride. .... After driving the R1T for a year, the R1S sucks using the same wheels tire combo setup...... Saying that I'm not sure if up to the tires to fix the problem.....The Nokian's are decent but I still can't comment on efficiency, seems negligible. They are slightly softer riding than the AT's and definitely quieter on the highway. Overall, I think we're all looking for the magic part that will make the R1S not ride like a 4 ton truck on leaf springs and these tires are not it. Given their 3748lbs load rating, they are in fact meant for that 4 ton truck with a heavy load making the sidewall fairly stiff. In retrospect, I might go the 275/60R20 route others have mentioned with the slightly lower than stock 2679lbs load rating (115H) in an attempt to soften up the ride. I just didn't want to have to deal with reprogramming the car for a smaller diameter tire.
Interesting. I should note that I have an R1T . Not sure if that matters?I just installed the Nokians on my new R1S and you are exactly to the point.

I know this is a very capable offroad vehicle, but is not the ride I want for my everyday commute.
You can install the 275/60R20 without reprogramming, do the testing and if you like the tires you do the programming and if not, go back to the nokians.
I can't comment on the 275/60R20. But if is true what they said about 20% better efficiency, well they are better than the nokians for sure. My afraid of the 275/60R20, is the look....Interesting. I should note that I have an R1T . Not sure if that matters?
I was just wondering if you had an additional thoughts on the Nokian HT one's? Did you have any trouble getting someone to install?

I don’t have any additional thoughts on the Nokians because I don’t have anything to compare them against except for the AT’s that I ran for the first 500 miles. Overall, they seem like fine commuter tires during non-snow months. I plan on getting a Blizzak setup for the winter, all-season doesn’t literally mean all-season.I was just wondering if you had an additional thoughts on the Nokian HT one's?

And this one tooThis is great stuff, thanks for the share! If I've learned anything it's that I need to get better at searching the forums!
Not necessary. It depends how OCD you are about your numbers/stats. ~$1201) The real service charge for switching to 275/60/20 and if it's still necessary
