#5 of 10 Re: Snow Tire Benefits [davew4] by nedzel Dec 10, 2007 (11:14 am)
Replying to: davew4 (Dec 07, 2007 2:55 pm) On the Dunlops, I had a couple short slides at low speeds with just a little bit of snow on the ground. Way too exciting for me. The Nokians are much better. But they are a lot louder and cost me 1-2 mpg.   Your GX470 probably has more sound insulation than my 4Runner, so perhaps they won't increase the cabin noise as much on your truck.   You still have to use significant caution in the snow, even with the Nokians. It is really easy to get over confident because you have so much traction from a stop, with the tires and full-time 4WD. So test braking often when driving in the snow...

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 03, 2006 10:09 am) I am buying an 08 470 and don't like the look of the wheels or size. I am not looking to pimp it out, but would like a larger wheel that looks better and a 4 season tire. Any suggestions? I would prefer to have the dealer swap them out in the deal. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. Replies to this message: steve_ (Feb 10, 2008 8:21 pm) tturgut (Apr 12, 2008 6:01 pm) scoobman (Apr 22, 2008 3:00 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: scoobman (Feb 10, 2008 7:22 pm) The Tire Rack has a View on Vehicle gizmo that will let you see how various wheels will look on your 08. link   Whether the dealer will work with the Tire Rack or has their own supplier is something you'll have to ask your salesperson about I guess, and who know what kind of deal they may be willing to do.   Any other new '08 owners getting new shoes for their new GX-470?

Replying to: steve_ (Feb 10, 2008 8:21 pm) I recently bought a 2008 GX 470 .On standart equipment and installed options it desribes the tires as: 265/65SR17 Mud and snow tires.    But, the tires on my car are Bridgestone 265/65R17 840 Dueler. This is not a snow and mud tire. (it is infact described as a summer tire):   1) I was wondering what kind of tires your 2008 GX came with. 2) We have 2-3 months of snow. Are these tires good enough, or would you recommend changing them?   thanks Replies to this message: scoobman (Apr 22, 2008 3:00 pm) tturgut (Apr 23, 2008 3:56 am)

Replying to: tturgut (Apr 12, 2008 6:01 pm) My 08 came with Dunlop Grandtrek. Go to tirerack.com and look at the reviews for your Bridgestones. I wanted to swap before I bought but I wanted a larger rim and they would not do that swap. I can only say that my Dunlops did fine this winter in MN but I would not say these were excellent snows. I prefer a quieter smoother tire than a really aggressive noisy tire. I live in civilization with good snow removal and have 4 wheel drive. If I get stuck, I am an idiot.

Replying to: scoobman (Apr 22, 2008 3:00 pm) Thanks, looks like I'll need some winter tires also.
