My 2015 had a decent set of Duelers installed when I bought it, but going into winter I'm thinking about throwing some WRG3's on instead. I have a good experience running them on a bunch of Subaru's but never anything this heavy. Does anyone have experience with them on a GX?

Fair enough request, but WRG3's are not dedicated winter tires. They're all season (branded as "all weather" actually). I searched the forum before posting and there is one thread that asks about WRG3's with zero responses.

In general not a lot of posts here and elsewhere in general about Nokians on 460s.

That being said I might try their winter "NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA R3" tire on another vehicle when my Blizzak DM-V2s wear out. Always here good things about them being about the best winter tire out there.

We had these on a late model Subaru Forester and liked them. For the GX460, I was a little surprised that these are rated for 130 mph and 2,600 lbs--better specs than the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2's we have been considering. However, I'm very curious about the soon to be released Nokian WR G4 SUV tires. Same general specs as the WRG3's, asymmetrical, and supposedly better warm weather performance. In fact I am very curious: 5/32 of tread left, so very little time!

I put a set of WRG3's on my 460 a couple weeks ago, before we had some decent snow in Chicago. Couldn't be happier so far. The Duelers that were on the truck when I bought it were awful.

Sounds great. We live in Oregon. So we have less snow and a little more open road driving. Thus my interest in the WRG4's, although I'll be happy enough to pull the trigger on the WRG3's if the '4's don't ship soon. I am surprised Nokian tires aren't more well known on this forum. Very high tech tires and very capable, I think anyway.
