I’m shopping for winter tires. I know it feels early, but they tend to sell out early.
I’m pretty committed to the studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3, but I’m curious about everyone’s thoughts on sizing.
I’m located in Alberta Canada where we get frequent snow/melt/freeze/snow cycles.
I won’t be doing any winter off-roading, but I drive weekly on mountain highway, mountain town and gravel roads up to the ski hills.
285 width seems pretty wide for a winter tire. The widest winter tire I’ve run was a 255 on a much heavier Land Rover LR4.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these tire sizes in comparable conditions? How did they do? If you could do it again, would you have bought the same size or gone narrower/wider?
