But where did they rub and what chain? I'm guessing most standard chains are similar thickness. I have the RUD 4x4 which fit super easy on a consistent tire like the Michelin M/S2 but are a bit clumsy fit on the BFG KO2. I have H&R 25mm spacers on for purpose of clearing the front UCA and...

I don't know about that clearance being a fool proof experience. When I've had that size on I swear it was maybe an inch clearance to the UCA ? but only at standard height which narrows as the suspension extends. It's been a long time since I had that size though so maybe I have the 275/65 in...

Well that's at least an improvement from the lr3/4. Still, a Land Cruiser can take a factory 17" and 33 with no mods. Of course the aftermarket is bigger and they have the option for new UCA and other parts allowing pretty easy fitting of 35". The D5 doesn't have active dampers does it? I...

Now wouldn't that be cool though to have a tilt-up loft on the LR3 !

LOL. I have not even mentioned an opinion on "global" anything or vehicle shipping. I think you've really let this get to you. It's the internet and it's a forum where many people just mouth off and most don't really give a damn. Franky, I don't think it's worth your energy to even sort...

You should take the walk to help you figure out who to respond to maybe. I am not the person you're referring to.

I don't know who you're even talking to. Maybe just talking, stop tagging me when it makes no sense.

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"....
