#157 of 170 Re: LR3 New Tires Needed - AGAIN! [mikeno] by bgsntth Mar 23, 2009 (3:13 pm)
Replying to: mikeno (Mar 23, 2009 11:47 am) 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.

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: lr3looser (Apr 24, 2009 7:32 am) 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 !!

Replying to: lr3looser (Apr 24, 2009 7:32 am) I am sure the Volkswagen - meant Audi - is a nice car. Even with the tire issue and the credit i received for new tires, I am still very happy with my LR3. Bought it 3 years ago and there have been no issues. Have 52,500 on it. People still comment on how nice it is.
#163 of 170 Tire choice / Early-wear lawsuit by wootbot May 13, 2009 (6:34 pm)
I'm really happy with the Michelin Latitude tires I replaced the OEM Goodyear ones with. I was tempted to just replace like-for-like, but I went with a strong recommendation from a tire guy I know. The ride is noticeably smoother and quieter.   I was, however, a bit taken aback at how unevenly the tires wore out - especially since in places they had plenty of tread and in other places they were dangerously worn (down to the cord, in fact). The alignment had drifted way out. It turns out this is a known problem and there's a potential class action lawsuit over it. I don't know whether it will go anywhere, but it might be worth registering on the site for that just in case you end up being able to recoup some of the considerable cost of premature replacement. http://www.sfmslaw.com/pages/cases.php?id=234
#164 of 170 Tire Patch by rocklr3 Sep 30, 2009 (12:03 pm)
I have a leaky tire on my '06 LR3. The dealer charges $77 for a patch and the local firestone tire shop charges $17. Is there any advantage to getting this type of service done at the dealer? Replies to this message: wootbot (Sep 30, 2009 12:14 pm) tidester (Sep 30, 2009 8:38 pm)

Replying to: rocklr3 (Sep 30, 2009 12:03 pm) None at all. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the dealer sends the tire out or has a mobile unit come in and patch it. You are better off going to Firestone and saving the money.
