2008 LR2 HSE
17,000 miles
Tears worn down to wear bar or whatever it is called, all worn evenly. I bought this new 1 year ago. Yes, they have been rotated, etc.
Anyone else with this problem? Should not have to buy tires for a long time...put 3 times that many miles on Tahoe & Suburban tires....very disappointed with this. Have loved the LR2 so far.
What will or should dealership do about this problem?
Thanks.

I have the same issue.. but it doesn't matter how LONG you have had your car.. The important issue is how many MILES you have on it. That's the issue with any tire and the wear. Nothing wrong with the vehicle if the tires wear.. I have 35,000 miles on my LR2 after 15 months and on my list is a tire replacement. The dealer gave me a quote of something over $1,000 and I plan to go to a tire dealer for a quote as well. With full time 4 wheel drive... you will go through tires more quickly. I also suspect that the original tires were a good traction tire which may tend to wear more quickly. I had my tires rotated, of course, but any car with fulll time 4 wheel will wear through tires.. Also the car is a heavy car.. another factor.. ao nothing unusual.. just a cost to drive a vehicle like the LR2..

Thanks for replying,
But, of course I know it is not how LONG you have had your car, it is the MILES...
As I said it only has 17,500 miles on it, that is HALF the miles that you said you have & you have not replaced your tires yet.

But it's time now .. at 35,000 miles.... I have not noticed what brand of tire LR puts on the vehicle... today I was driving in snow and thpught about pulling in somewhere for replacement.. I would expect that the dealership will be more expensive than anywhere else for this..

The email address provided didn't work. I tried some other permutations and nothing. My dealer said my car was not welcome at their dealership anymore as well apparently since they can't fix it they can't get paid. I'll never buy another Land Rover that's for sure.

I can't believe no one will help you if your complaint is legit.. If not go to your Attorney General..

our great warranty does not cover brakes & rotors, i also need a tire pressure gauge that got frozen in the cold weather . the gauge is made by Ford. I am told I need a new sensor also if I am doing brakes. Please does someone have a parts book that can give me p/n's and a place I might get these parts cheaper then the dealer. would like the better brake pads. advise. stewart gubostonsports yahoo.com

Warranties do not usually cover brakes, rotors, wipers, tires and so on..Neither does LR. They wear out. As it happens, today I am getting 4 new tires.. I have 36,000 or so miles on mine. I went to a "tire" store as opposed to the dealership. The guy there included re-building the pressure sensors as he says they tend to corrode and will usually need re-building as they have dis-similar metals in contact thereby creating a corrosion issue.. He said very typical all manufacturers.

Contact me directly at sixthflickhotmail.com and I will email you Gary Temple's direct email address. His email address was recently changed, but I've been in contact with him recently so I know this new one works.
