#142 of 170 Re: New Tire Available [guardian63] by sohna99 Jun 23, 2008 (7:21 am)
Replying to: guardian63 (Mar 19, 2008 5:29 pm) Have you bought the new tires yet and how did you like them? Any feedback will be appriciated.   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: hellpie (Mar 15, 2008 10:14 pm) Any feedback after 3-4 months of replacing your tires? Do you recommend that to me? I owned LR3 V6. Replies to this message: hellpie (Jun 25, 2008 3:05 pm) sohna99 (Jul 31, 2008 9:21 am)

Replying to: sohna99 (Jun 23, 2008 7:26 am) I am very happy with the Nexens. I've put about 5000 miles on them and so far no signs of premature wear or noise. Replies to this message: sohna99 (Jul 31, 2008 9:21 am)

Replying to: roblr3halifax (Oct 02, 2006 8:08 am) I agree with you that Goodyears are not very good tires. Any set I have owned have always been very noisy and they do not seem to last as long as they should. At least that seems to be the case. I have a 2004 Discovery and it cups the tires on the inside just like the LR3 does. Actually, I had a 2000 Discovery and it would also do the same thing. I think part of the problem is that LR puts a fairly aggressive Mud and Snow tire on the vehicle. Any aggressive tire that you drive on the pavement a lot will wear out fast. Thats my guess anyway. Just like running big mud tires on pavement a lot will shred them. Maybe a plain old street tire will last longer.

Replying to: gwelland (May 20, 2008 1:25 pm) I too am in the market for some new tires on my 2006 LR3. I ran through my Goodyear Wranglers in about 22,000 miles. I've tried to get other tire recommendations, but the dealer has been hesitant.   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) Hi Hellpie,   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.

Replying to: cartomano (Sep 22, 2008 3:36 pm) Hi I bought Toyo Open Country H/T tires 255/60/18 from Les Schwab couple weeks ago. What a difference in ride!! Feels like higher and smoother ride.   If you don't go off road, I would suggest you to buy these. I have done lot of rsearch and came up to these Toyo tires even my Land Rover dealer recommended Toyo tires as well.   Good luck!!

Replying to: shauncw (Jul 28, 2008 10:16 am) I have had the Nittos for over 35k miles. (just turned 102k on my 2005 LR3 V8). I did blow out the cabling controlling the air suspension on the front drivers side twice. Once while in access mode and the wheeled turned hard to the left. The second time I just hit something at highway speed and busted the sensor. I had these cables spliced and rerouted outside of the wheel well (where they should have been routed originally) and no problems since. The Nittos have been from CO to FL on the highway, off road in the Everglades, Rockies and many places in between. They are great in the snow, good on the ice, relatively quiet on the highway. They are a big tire and I believe effect acceleration somewhat, but they look perfect on an LR3. Replies to this message: gwelland (Nov 29, 2008 10:23 pm)

Replying to: colorado4x4 (Nov 29, 2008 5:58 pm) Interesting you mention blowing out the suspension cabling - I did this once with the same setup of Nitto's and it was whilst running through brush and so it wasn't obvious that it was the tire that had done it. It was a quick fix and now I feel happier knowing that it wasn't just me.   I've had the Nitto's for the last 45k+ miles and they are still going strong. I have a 2005 HSE so it was a change from 19's to 18's and so the difference in ride quality was more significant. In my case, I much prefer the slightly softer road feel and I've had ZERO problems with these tires at all. I went through 2 sets of the original tires like a hot knife through butter - and the ride quality and wear & noise with them was terrible. I've used the Nitto's extensively for long road trips as well as a lot of forest roads/fields/beach etc.   I agree about the 'look' - they are a perfect match to the vehicle. (I have winch/expedition rack/bars etc etc).
