Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT 3 Studded Winter LT225/75R16 115/112Q E Light Truck Tire

This is the first winter tire that could handle the weight of my truck without wearing the tread out in one season. I use dedicated winter and AT's between winter and the rest of the seasons and typically the second year my winter tires were getting questionable. This is the first tire that I've only had wire l about 20% wear after the first year.

Coming from a pro driver in MONTANA... I have put 10s or 100s of thousands of miles on every major winter tire. These are legendary tires. If you're contemplating getting studded or not, GET THE STUDDED. That being said I did prefer the LT2 to the LT3 because the outter set of lugs have a little but too much turn in bite at highway speeds. Very polite tires quiet even with studs compared to other studded tires. Amazing at shedding water in the slush and wet too. I can not recommend enough.
