I live near Spokane, Washington in US. We moved here 6 months ago and heard they got 4 feet of snow in one night last year. It sort of freaked us out so we thought we would go for the best all terrain vehicle and here we are.

So here's the question, I have brand new "Dunlop Grandtrek St 8000 255/60R18 112H" tires on the LR3. If or when the snow starts falling, will I make it to work just fine or will I need studded snow tires? The dealer said I would NOT need studs. Some locals said I would definately need them. What do you think? Please let me know.

Thanks

 

I would say that you could live without the studs. I grew up in MN, lived across the snow belt in the great lakes states and never knew anyone who needed them. Tire chains or the straps that Land Rover sells would be more than sufficient in my humble opinion.
