Has anyone out in Raptor land mounted Snow tires on 17 inch Raptor rims?? If so what size and what brand? I understand that Nokian LT3's are made in 17 inch and at least one person has mounted them!
Help Please!

I have not but I am thinking of having a dedicated winter set that would be Duratracs with studs.
Duratracs are just all around great tire alone in my experience but especially in the winter.

There are a few threads on this exact topic exist. I have been running the Nokian 315/70/17 winter tires for the past 3 winters. I prefer them over the Blizzaks on my Jeep.

Duratrac rocks. Had a set on a T&C minivan and that thing could go anywhere.

I run 315/70/17 studded Duratracs on my stock 17s during the winter. I can’t compare them to a true winter tire but I’m super happy with the set up. Much better then the BFGs I had and obviously much better then my Toyo MT set up on aftermarket rims.

I guess I will contact Nokian again,as the only size they came back with was 285-70- 17. They did not mention 315's were available! I will check on Duratracs also. Where I live on the top of a mountain with a very narrow 0.8 mile steep driveway, I need studded snows in the winter!!
I searched for threads on the subject, but nothing came up. Thanks for all the help!!

I bought mine through Discount Tire. They are a common tire. You can see them on Nokian’s website too.
