Replying to: british_rover (Mar 25, 2008 6:44 am) Is it possible if you guys let me know what brand, size and price you paid? Has anyone have tried Michelin from COSTCO? Thanks in advance. |

Replying to: guardian63 (Mar 19, 2008 5:29 pm) As regards performance, on-road the stock tyres have a firmer and better road feel. That's for sure. However, I do find the 80/60 profile provides a smoother ride overall and so long as you don't think you're driving a sports car I find them very satisfactory. Definitely noisier and softer ride than stock. For off road the Nitto's definitely have more traction, particularly when in dusty or muddy conditions. For normal snow use, the Nitto's are great. For serious off trail snow use I wouldn't say that they are that much better than stock - my stock tyres always seemed OK in deep snow. The more aggressive Nitto tread pattern seems to help in low speed rock/gravel/mud traversal. The Nitto's look bad-ass on the vehicle. They look like they belong. As regards wear and long term use, after 38'000 miles mine are still going strong with very moderate wear on the inside front and little wear at all on the rears. The stock tyres were junk in this respect and rapidly wore out for me plus did so in a manner than produced a tread pattern/block profile that was both unpleasant to drive with and noisy too. YMMV.

Replying to: guardian63 (Mar 19, 2008 5:29 pm) I have LR3 SE V6 and which comes with 18" tire size. I have 28k miles and dealer told me I need to replace the tires at 30k. 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. |

Replying to: gwelland (May 20, 2008 1:25 pm) I brought up the Nitto's, however, the dealer mentioned that since they are a wider tire, they would pull out some cable impacting the suspension...and that it happens 'all' the time and costs $400 to fix each time. Any thoughts?

Replying to: hellpie (Jun 25, 2008 3:05 pm) Any advise on Nexen tires? I read that you paid $110/each. What was the total came out after all 4 tires and balance+etc $$? Where did you get those tires? Does the loacl dealers like Leshwab carry those or need to order online thru tirerack? My original tires are 255/60R18. Should I go to same size or 265/60R18 would work? Any problems with different size? I called my dealer and he said few peoples have 265 instead 255 and that is fine. What do you say? Any feedback from any LR3 owners will be appreciated. I need to buy new tires in next couple of weeks. Thank you. |
