Winter only, I run the Hakka 5 SUVs which are winter only tire...I run Yokohama Parada 20"ers in spring/summer/fall.

despite costing a mint, the Nokians are worth it...

How can I tell if my Treg has a locking Diff?

Thanks

EARL97850 · 08-27-2008

Thanks nickm for the info.

Deep down I know that I will probably have to get two sets of tires, but I was just hopeful that maybe I could have squeezed by with one set.

Oh well.

On your 4wheel button,if you put in neutral and turn it clockwise you'll see in the mfi dispay a picture of the drive train that says off-road which is low range,turn the knob to centerlock the icon shows it locked,if you have a locker,you can turn it another click and it will show the rear locked.or crawl underneith and look for a motor on rear diff.

They all have the locking center differential. If you have the optional locking rear diff, you will have an additional position at the 6 o' clock position of the transfer case mode switch. You'll have High, Low, Center, and Rear in that order, going clockwise around the switch. No rear lock means no options pas the 4 o'clock area on the switch.

Get Nokian WRs...all season plus still incredible winter traction.

EARL97850 · 08-27-2008

I'll go their site now and do some research.

So...you run these WR's all season tires all year or am I getting it all wrong again?

Cya

**nickm** · 08-27-2008

there are a few guys on this site running WRs year round...all with great results. They are getting great durability out of them as well.

EARL97850 · 08-28-2008

Hey nickm, I checked out the Nokian site, and I'm sold.

I've checked out the site before but somehow missed these tires. I guess I was just looking at Winter tires.

Thank you very much.
