Replying to: fwilmarth (Mar 06, 2008 7:21 pm) 10 ply is an older way to say LRE. It does not relate to the number of carcasses. BFG All-Terrain and Mud-Terrain tires have Tri-Gard (3 ply carcass construction).

Replying to: 1st_rover (Mar 09, 2008 1:47 am) Anyone else with LR3 SE V6 with tire issues? What tire will you recommend? My dealer in Rocklin CA recommend Les Schwob Toyo Proxes SIT for $1200 (255/60/18) or Open Country HIT for $1400. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: sohna99 (Mar 14, 2008 3:02 pm) On the recommendation of the tire person, I ended up purchasing four Nexen Roadian H/T tires. The tires are Korean made and are about $110 each. They have a lower speed rating than the Goodyears (I never go over 85 mph), but they are definitely quieter, and from what I can tell, offer comparable performance. I am happy with them.

After a five year long love hate relationship with my Disco Series II, my wife and I purchased our 06 LR3. Only prob so far has been the wear or lack of wear on the part of the factory GY Wrangler HPs. I rotate and balance every 5K miles but at 28K it is time for new rubber. After reading all of the blogs it appears that the best replacement is the Nitto Grapplers in the 285/ 60-18's. My question to everyone out there that has gone this route is: (1) Do the tires rub on tight turns or during mild to moderate off road ventures, (2) do they mess with the speedometer accuracy, and finaly how have they worn. I am planning on purchasing in the next couple of days so any and all feedback as well as other options would be greatly appreciated. Even on my worse days, I wouldnt trade my baby in for anything else out there. Truth be told, I miss my series II like crazy!! Thanks |

If you are worried about the Nitto's fitting or adversely affecting performance because of their weight, you can also consider the Yokohama A/T-S in 265/60-18 or 275/60-18. They are both H-rated and have a LI of 110 and 116 respectively. I chose the 265, as they are within 2% of OE diameter and my truck is leased. The Yoko's outperform the GY's in every category on the road, despite being an AT. Off-road is no contest. |

Replying to: fwilmarth (Mar 19, 2008 7:12 pm) I paid my way thru college busting tires at a tire shop and I have always had good luck with the Cooper brand of tires. I am religous about checking air pressure, balancing, and rotating and I have convinced myself that it makes a huge difference in the way that my tires have always worn. I will let you know how they do in the months to follow. |
