    Curious about 235/85/16 on a gen 3. I am a fan of tall skinny snows. Just wondering about rubbing and what not. Pics would be great! Cheers

    I am getting some Nokia's mounted tomorrow. I'll post some pics when I put the rims on the truck. I had the duratracs on my Land Rover were OK/ not the best in ice/snow. Hence me getting the Nokia's, but I live in northern Vermont on top of a mountain on a dirt road.

    i have had duratracs on all of my past vehicles for the winters and have loved them. coincidentally the vehicles i had them all on were land rover discoveries. currently in have a discovery thats on 235/85's and with the exception of ice they are awesome. thats what I'm going to try out a studded pair. i live uo on one of the ski areas down in southern VT so i understand your need for traction!

    Here's my gen 1 with 235/85/R16 KO's alongside my gen 3 with 265/70/R16 KO's. I'm thinking about going with the 235/85's on the gen 3.IMG_20151114_171911381_HDR.jpg IMG_20151114_171216500.jpg IMG_20151114_171154077.jpg

    I know this is a thread revive, but are those 235 85 16 on your first gen with stock suspension?

    I had the same size on my first gen. They did rub slightly at full lock, partly compressed. No issues though.
