Has Land Rover made any comments about possible software changes to minimize the LR2's tendency to lift wheels in hard turns? You can see this at Consumers Union site. Land Rover claims hitting a cone caused the tip up, but if you look really closely, you can see the vehicle's lifting its back wheel just before it bumps the cone. Don't get me wrong - I liked the LR2's layout and feel, but in end passed on it because of limited dealers (1 in our area) and hilly local area that would have wreaked havoc on gas mileage (the upcoming LR hybrid will fix the latter).

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Oct 26, 2008 8:29 am) Any thoughts on the Blizzaks? Also, I've heard it's best to use steel wheels in lieu of the stock alloy wheels during winter time driving. Only trouble is, I haven't been able to find steel wheels anywhere online for the 2008 LR2 - stock wheels are 18x8.0-in. aluminum alloys. I'd like to get the steel wheels and some snow tires. Any thoughts? |

Anyone know where I can buy steel wheels for winter driving for my 2008 LR2 18x8.0?

Replying to: sixthflick (Oct 31, 2008 9:35 pm) Check out tirerack.com They will have a winter tire/wheel package specifically designed for your car. They will be cheaper alloys, which really is the only option you have. They might even have a 17" tire/wheel pkg that will fit, and be substantially cheaper than 18". Plus, cheap alloys will look better than steel wheels with covers.. regards, kyfdx
