    Favorite Snow Tires for 100 series?

    Have Hakka 9’s on our Tesla, they are rock solid in the worst winter roads, including solid clear ice.

    For those with K02's ... what is your preferred tire pressure off road?

    285/70-17 load C on my ‘13 LX570. Between build, people and gear an extra 600-1000 lbs, so pushing 7k lbs. I run 36 psi on road. 25-28 off road and 20-25 psi in the sand and glacier silt, I’ve had to go down to 15 in the sand but aired back up to 20 as soon as I could.

    New tires for 2000 LC- Colorado snow

    Good point. Almost all winter tires are directional. Always makes me a little crazy when at a stoplight the vehicle in front of me has their tires on backwards. And I see it all the time

    New tires for 2000 LC- Colorado snow

    I’m in Alaska, I’ve run KO2s as my summer tire for 8 years. I’ve had them in early season snow storms (as in September early October) Compared to the Hakkas they are pretty bad on hard pack and ice, so ok in fresh snow. If I lived somewhere with a mild winter, that is where running a dedicated...

    New tires for 2000 LC- Colorado snow

    You likely wouldn’t notice any difference. Would be ~0.25” lower (tire is 0.5” smaller diameter) and 0.4” narrower. That said a 265/70-16 is almost the same outside dimensions as the 265/60-18 Hakka 7 I currently have on my ‘13 LX.

    New tires for 2000 LC- Colorado snow

    Those defenders are some of the best all seasons for winter out there. That said not close to a true winter tire. I run Nokian Hakka’s in the winter.

    What Tire? - 05 LX470

    I say defender LTX or something similar. Don’t need a full fledged AT tire for what you mentioned and will get better road/rain performance with a non AT.

    Does anybody on earth make 21" A/T tires?

    A 2017 LX can easily run 18” (and some 17”) rims unless they modded to larger then OEM rotors. I doubt you will be able to find much of an AT tire in a 21” and if you need an AT tire for function one in a 21” will defeat the purpose of an AT tire. Find some 18” tundra take offs and you will...

    Snow tires - any consensus of good ones?

    Nokians are the best. I’m in Alaska and have run them on all our vehicles for well over 10 years. Currently have vehicles running Hakka 5, 7 and now two with Hakka 9’s. On my 6th winter on Hakka 7’s on my ‘13 LX570.

    Studded snow tires

    Yes Nokians are the best. In Alaska and have Hakka 7 on my LX, Hakka 9 on our Tesla and MB, and Hakka 5 on our Subaru. I’ll be due for new winter tires next year for my LX and it will be Hakka 9 unless the 10 comes out.

    One tire to do it all - snow and offroading

    They all pretty much suck on firm snow and ice. He is a young driver what not put him on proper winter tires? If it saves one wreck it will be well worth it. Why not pick a less expensive tire (but still very capable) off road like cooper AT3 and then a less expensive winter tire like the...

    help selecting new winter tires

    The nokians will last at least 50% longer than the XIce and give much better traction on ice.

    help selecting new winter tires

    Nokian hakka’s are by far the best winter tire. Also they last much longer than the other ones. In Alaska and currently have vehicles with Hakka 4,5,7,and 9. On my 7th winter on the Hakka 5 on our MB e class and 5th on the Hakka 7 on my LX570. I’ve ran Blizzak, xIce, general, iPike and none...

    Studded snow tire options on 18" wheel?

    Another vote for the Nokian. I have the Hakka 7 SUV in the 265/60-18 on my 7th winter. Started between 50-50% on the wear indicators. I’ll get the newest Hakka’s next winter is the same size.

    Where do you buy your Tires?

    Local small business tire shop (Moore and Sons) or as if they can’t get what I need on base at AAFES.

    Foam tire inserts?

    And the tire in the picture is a pirelli. Our Tesla had pirelli tires and I think the model 3 will as well. We ordered a 2nd set of wheels for winter tires with the model 3 and I had a hard time getting the internal delivery rep to understand that I didn’t want the studless winter pirelli...
