**SOLD** - Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 315/70 R17 Winter Tires - Studded - Low Miles - 5x - $1150

[ORTrux]

Selling 5x Nokian LT3 Winter Tires in 315/70 R17 - Portland, OR area.

Tires were only used for one season - maybe 2k-3k miles total. 90+% tread remaining. The fifth tire/spare is brand new/never been mounted. Pretty much unstoppable on snow/ice including severe inclines.

Due to the size of these would much rather sell locally as a set, but would consider selling 4x if someone really doesn't want the spare.

Are they still available?

Wish these were not studded as I'm PDX local and would love a set of dedicate snow tires.

Good luck with the sale.

Studs on these can be pulled, I was a bit worried about the studs having used studless only before so I asked Nokian and they confirmed - I got quoted something like $20 a tire to get them removed. Can't go back though I don't think and you can't purchase the tri-point studs they come w/ anywhere, only available if they come w/ the tire.

But studs were surprisingly quiet (not silent but not noticeable at speed, just some of the usual crunching at low speeds) and they were so good on ice/heavily packed snow I decided to keep them. You can pretty much drive within reason on packed Oregon ice/snow like you would on wet pavement w/ these.

You can remove the studs….but why would you want to? Driving a Raptor on studded snows in the winter is about as capable in that environment as driving a Porsche GT3 on pilot super sports @ the track lol!!

All seriousness? I run these on my Raptor in winter & did remove the studs only b/c I have a concrete driveway & they would chew it up some when I was parking slow speed

When I was a teenager- I had a 2WD pickup with an open diff and a stick shift. After a winter with no traction on all seasaons, I got studded snows on the back. The tires had the old style thick zig zag lugs.

I could stop on a 20% incline covered in untouched ice and then get going agian with very little issue.

I could do burnouts that ripped up the asphalt and made sparks too, so that was fun.

Lol totally, you learn to back it in so you’re not turning the wheel to angle it out until you hit asphalt or Austin powers it into the drive a bit.
