Winter Studded Tires Size Question

[TransCanadaTom]

Hey team,

I am wanting to put some studded winter tires on the Grenadier and the tire I’ve always liked and appreciated was the Nokian Haakapelitta LT# Studded. Unfortunately they don’t make it in the 255/70/R18 but they do make it in a 275/65/R18. Does anybody know if that tire would fit without any rubbing? Are there any other issues that might come up using that size tire? Thanks in advance for any information you could provide.

You should not have any issues with the 275/65 18” as they are the same diameter 32.1” as your 255s. You could even go with 275/70 18” (33.2” diameter) as shown on the image below. This is the size I’m going to replace my 255s with when they wear out. 255s are 10” wide 275s are 10.8” wide approx.

Thank you thank you very much for the advice. I was able to find them in the size that you recommended. I’m just torn now between studded and non studded.
