#150 of 163 Re: New Tire Available [shauncw] by colorado4x4 Nov 29, 2008 (6:58 pm)
Replying to: shauncw (Jul 28, 2008 11:16 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 11:23 pm)

Replying to: colorado4x4 (Nov 29, 2008 6:58 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).
#152 of 163 Synchrones after 2 years and 18,000 miles by macc24 Jan 14, 2009 (4:37 pm)
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). Replies to this message: nesuv (Feb 20, 2009 4:21 pm)
#153 of 163 HANCOCK TIRES by rarat Feb 05, 2009 (3:57 pm)
HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS BRAND. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THEM. THEY WERE RECOMMENDED FOR MY LR3. I HAVE PIRELLI'S NOW AND THEY HAVE NOT WORN WELL AT ALL.

Replying to: macc24 (Jan 14, 2009 4:37 pm) 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.
#155 of 163 LR3 New Tires Needed - AGAIN! by steveh_can1 Mar 23, 2009 (12:33 pm)
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?

Replying to: steveh_can1 (Mar 23, 2009 12:33 pm) 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. Replies to this message: bgsntth (Mar 23, 2009 4:13 pm) gillz (Apr 03, 2009 2:03 pm)

Replying to: mikeno (Mar 23, 2009 12:47 pm) Your dealer is recommending OE tires only. Your friend most likely has Toyo Open Country HT's or S/TII, the former being an All-Season, and the latter more of a Sport-truck tire. Pirelli just released a very good AT tire in 255/55-19, the ATR; which is the top-ranked AT tire by Consumer Reports. Michelin also makes the Lattitude in that size, as well as a new Dunlop, Bridgestone, and Continental. You now have many choices.   I would recommend all of the above tires before the GY Wranglers and Pirelli Scorpions. You only need to stay above a 110 Load Index and HR speed rating to make LRNA happy. Do a quick search on treaddepot.com and tirerack.com, as they both carry different brands.

Replying to: bgsntth (Mar 23, 2009 4:13 pm) The OE Goodyear Wranglers on my 2007 MY HSE (19" wheels) wore out at around 28000 miles. I researched and replaced with Pirelli ATR...have around 8,000 miles on these tires and find the difference to the OE tire phenominal. Better ride, quiet, and more sure footed on wet surfaces. Put them on and headed right out on a 3200 mile trip then on a hunting expedition through mud and prairie, so lots of climbing on slippery wet grass. The Pirelli's behaved admirally.   Would highly recommend the ATR's over the Michelin Lattitude. Have a friend who installed these on his RR Sport and laments the decision, wishing he would have bought the Pirelli's.

Replying to: jobie (Oct 01, 2006 2:53 pm) General AT Grabbers. I got 60,000+ on mine. Awesome tire. I have a 2006 LR3.
