It looks pretty good and is a pretty good price. $265 for 35/12.5/17 but seems to be hard to find. I found some on eBay and a few spots in michigan that are a couple hours away from me that sell the brand. This will be my summer wheeling tire.

They look just like the Nokian Vativa MT to me. Ive heard of some tire companies making the same tires under different names. Have no experience with the actual tires though..

That's what I've heard. I think they let the patent lapse and someone else took over. I can't find them on the website under niokian.

Lots of house brand tires out there. I have a set of sigma mud claw mts on my jk and they are made by cooper. How even I can you that I have had cooper tires and they are far better, but couldn't beat the price.
