Dude, you really do not understand language. I said you act like you think you are the authority on the term. I sure as heck never said or implied that I think you invented a term that's older than all of us LOL

****************, but you now reply with "complaining" about how I respond to your off the cuff crap? LOL Your first reply was meaningless with no context. Your follow-up was thoughtful but I had to drag it out of you.

FFS can't we just all get a beer together? ;) I'd like to find a place with good pickled Herring too.

Reading comprehension subtleties trouble again? The issue is you trying so hard to be an "authority" on the subject. I never said you were the originator of the term or that I hadn't heard of it LOL I wonder how your life would feel if before posting, you took a 30 minute walk outside...

that would be super good on a disco II but 18 is an lr3 size unless like mine 17 are made to fit.

LOL this guy, triggered and such an easy target made abundantly apparent in the types of presumptive replies. Nobody here hasn't heard the widely common term but I have to say, the worst nasty tools on Discoweb sound like more fun to hang around than you.

I do enjoy hearing about even more specialized circumstances but for the purpose of this thread, or my question anyway, the studdless is probably the best choice especially from a longer trip point of view where widely varying conditions will occur. Seems to me one could also say just take it...

So then what scenario did Nokian spend so much $ on R&D to come up with the newest LT3 studs? They talk about wear, etc. My youth was living in winter northern MN which didn't have the temp swings like you mention. I really appreciate the experiences shared, so thanks!

Thank you for that reply!

Yes, this is obvious as I mentioned. 255 would be ideal but the offerings are either 245/75-17 or 265/70-18 section 9.8 vs 10.7 which puts the tread width around 7.4 vs 8.3

Ok, post your actual experience, not just some off the cuff opinion. I've used both, studs absolutely help when conditions are correct. When dry but winter, it seems one should be a bit slower anyway. I'm leaning toward non-stud but I'm not a fan of blanket posts like "don't help much".

LOL says someone who's never lived in northern climes ? (EDIT: well fuk, you're in Calgary..?? They DO help when conditions are right) Maybe you've never driven with them in the conditions they are designed for but when it's hard pack and icy, there is no comparison to the non-studded option...

What's "rich" is nobody here realizing you were the authority on defining "global vehicle"....

The search function didn't really pull up much.... Northern folks with yrs of experience using true winter tires and studded on HD vehicles (not sedans/cars) I would like your use experience and opinion on choosing studded vs non-studded of same model. For example Nokian offers several models...

Ha! I've toyed w idea of full size and camper because it's so versatile as a vehicle for hauling stuff, camping, etc. But then I get caught up on suv shape (old Ford Excursion lifted, beast mode) , then van shape (Ford EB 4x4 etc), end up at Sprinter ("4x4"/awd but huge headroom), then...

Northern folks with yrs of experience using true winter tires and studded on HD vehicles (not sedans/cars) I would like your use experience and opinion on choosing studded vs non-studded of same model. For example Nokian offers several models in both versions. I have used the LT2 studded a...

I am sure he meant "decent tires" assumes larger, etc especially for LR4's. It is most certainly a "headache" to fit 32-33-34" tires even on the lr3, more so on the lr4. You know what a Land Cruiser requires for 33" perfect fully functional fit? Simply a trip to tire shop to pop them on and...

Can I sneak this in here: what did you get instead of whatever you had? No judgement, just curious.

That's BS man, you know it's more like 8th grade level ;) (some of my posts read most accurately for intent with a sarcasm tone)

Maybe they added lr3 stuff since you looked before. I found this last night ? https://www.moogparts.com/find-my-part/find-my-part-results.html?parttype=SUSPENSION&apptype=AUTOMOTIVE&options=2007~Land%20Rover~LR3&values=2007~Land%20Rover~LR3
