What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I wonder why these require drilling, when the frame mounted option is chosen, when most others don't? And $10 shipping? Not complaining but sounds too good to be true.

 

What do you run for winter? I live in Michigan and have had lots of traction with anything Yokohama. We don’t have mountains though..

 

The same sprinkler is selling for 8.99 at home depot on clearance.

 

Police suvs in Michigan use Nokian. I was told their tread pattern was the key.

 

Where did you purchase the board from?

These are great tires. The best on Snow and Ice.

 

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 comes studded or not studded. It is recommended highly by many forum members.

 

Same here

 

How would you rate these as off road tires? Thanks

 

How hard was it to replace that lens? Mine came with some scratches too and I’d like to replace it if I can get to it.

 

Most tires with the snowflake symbol indicating ok for snow use are good. You don't have to run dedicated winter tires in snow and ice. I've been using all weather (NOT all season) for around 10 years. They work well and can be run all year. I'm in Alberta Canada with snow 6-7 months and Rocky Mountains. Currently have General Grabber ATX.

 

There are a few YouTube videos on how to replace the screen. I believe Chloe Kuo has a video on her YouTube site. Doesn't look to complicated.

 

@17taconut tires are a product of compromise. The Nokian is designed for snow and ice but not specifically for off road. However like most tires light off road would be doable. Most forum members have there snow change overs and A/T tires for summer.

 

I realize it's always going to be a compromise in the long run. I'm currently on the East coast and trying to see what my best "compromise" would be when I need new shoes.

 

Pretty easy actually. The trim pieces just snap off, the gauge cluster is held in by 4, 8mm bolts, and the lens piece fastens to the gauges with 8 screws. There are two wiring harness connectors and a harness clip to remove to allow you to remove the whole assembly and swap the lens elsewhere. The hardest part was applying the screen protector.

I ordered from here: https://www.discountpartsmonster.co...tA9oGLCzxX_KwTtqgJ4bX6TCzp5APLCoaAtYvEALw_wcB

And used this YT video (no affiliation): https://youtu.be/_JYykw4cPSg?si=FtmkQBxfZuEuTULJ

Hope that helps! Well worth the minimal effort.

 

And it was good!

 

A dedicated winter pavement tire.

AT and MT tires are horrid on frozen pavement and black ice

 

In Ontario, we get a slight insurance discount if you swap to winter tires.
