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.

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.

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.

Lr3looser ? or did you mean 'loser' ?
 
Seems that Land Rover and offroad enthusiasts deal with the little challenges of the vehicle because they are such a superior 4x4. The owners who bitch or sue the manufacturer aren't cut out for the vehicle and bought more for a status symbol - then traded in for an Audi...3rd rate German machine !
 
Just pulling your chain !!
