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.

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!!

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.

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).

Synchrones after 2 years and 18,000 miles by macc24

The Michelin 19's after 2 years are showing no wear, and no noise difference. Well worth the switch. Just my 2 cents for those who are interested. Also had my adjustment done at an independent shop soon after tires were installed (and that was the only time).

I also have Michelin Synchrones 19 and have no problems. Definitely worth the switch. I've got about 50,000 on them and will probably have to replace soon. I noticed the Michelin website does not show these tires as an option anymore. Instead they list the Latitude Tour HP. Does anyone have any experience with the Latitudes? What's the difference between Synchrones and Latitudes?
Did Michelin stop making the Synchrones?
 
Just curious.

LR3 New Tires Needed - AGAIN! by steveh_can1

My dealer is telling me I need new tires on my LR3. I have an LR3 HSE 2006 with 19" rims. My friends LR3 (same year) with 19" has Toyo's.
 
My dealer is telling me to put on Pirelli Zero's or Goodyear Wranglers.
 
What do you guys think?

I have the Pirelli Zero's on my 2006 LR3.
 
$1000 for the dealer to install 11 months ago and they're wearing out after 14,000 miles.
 
Stay away from them.
