I bought a set of 20" Defender take-off wheels that came with near-new Michelin tires. (Whatever the OEM version is in size 255/60/20) I just had winter tires put on those wheels.

I didn't want the 5 Michelin tires so the tire shop has them. I'm sure you can get them for cheap. Contact Steve at Plymouth Tire Pros if interested 508-747-3322.

On another note, if you plan to run winter tires, start shopping now. Like so may other things, winter tires are in short supply. I went with Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV winter tires in 275/55/20 and it took some time to get them. Could not get them at all in size 255/60/20, despite Nokian's claim that they would offer this size by now.

 

Sigh... have been watching TireRack to put winters on my 18" take-offs (steelies!)... just nothing out there (load rating is the issue). Curious what winter tires folks have successfully put on the 18s...

 

They have KO2s in load range D. They are Severe Snow Service rated.

 

From my experience, KO2's are not good in a New England winter. Here along the coast it typically rains before or after each snowfall. So we have wet snow/slush/ice. I have heard that KO2's are good in deep dry snow. Those of you running KO2's in Utah should be all set.

I have 5 in Rhode Island and can’t give them away! Odd size doesn’t appeal to anyone else apparently.
Removed mine at 500 miles and they are sitting in my garage. Have them for sale for 100 each and still no takers.

 

Exactly why I didn't bother taking the Michelins home. Maybe the LR dealer in RI will take them off your hands.

 

Would you ship them? If so, what size are they? I might have a buyer for you. You would just need to wrap them in a set of 2 and a set of 3 in plastic wrap (Home Depot) and stick a FedEx label on the outside.

I import/export so I can get labels for him.

 

I would not sell them. I would put it back during trade in or when selling the defender.

 

Get the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV winter tires. However, be aware that they make 2 versions in 255/70/18. You want tire code T431867 which is the XL load version.
Find a Nokian dealer near you and see if they can order them. May take a few weeks to get them.
