I had the same problem on my 2005 LR3. The original set of Goodyears basically came apart at 12K.
My local tire guy contacted Goodyear. Goodyear provided a new set of tires with me paying the shop for installation ect. The replacement set help up for about 30K. Cupping, road noise, handling issues and ect..
Little Rock, AR, where I purchased the truck, Memphis and the New Orleans dealerships had nothing to add or offer.
One of the salesmen in Memphis kindly offered a suggestion of a Cooper Tire. I do not have the size handy but will gladly pull the info for anyone interested. The Cooper are fairing better than the Goodyear but I have to constantly monitor the pressure. On the front I am finding that even a 2 pound difference in pressure will effect the handling. I religiously rotate and service the car. I did find the bushing comment in a posting interesting. Rover has a serious engineering issue here.
I love this vehicle. I bought one of the early ones and have had only the usual recall issues that you would expect with a first model year car. The tire issue is very expensive and annoying.
Your replies are welcome.

The same thing happened to my truck. I took it to the dealer and my truck was not out of alignment. However, I had to pay half for my new tires and now 5K later it is happening again. I am pursing a complaint with Land Rover of America. I have had many problems with my Land Rover and I am considering highering an attorney to press for the lemon law.

I am now in the same boat. I have been a very loyal defender of the problems with this vehicle but it is in the shop again and they called to tell me that I have to get new tires as the alignment was out. 20K miles and they said they rubber is almost gone on the inside rear. I told them this was unbelievable and to have the GM call me. It they can't do anything I will tell them to buy it from me as I can't afford the $1500 they want for new tires. They suggested the Grapplers, but can't guarantee that the alignement will hold out. Any suggestions? I am ready to sell it at this point.

I just bought a 2005 LR3 HSE with 16000 miles and the tire noise is horrible!!! The tires are cupped and are useless. Is the Michelin Syncrones the best choice?

Did you buy it from a LR dealer? I would assume they would put new tires on to resell it as a standard practice. Just curious.
 
I have 14,500 and tire wear on the rear. I dont think there is a noise issue. I am going to take it in on tues and ask for new tires. They chose the tires and the wear issue is not related to anything but the tires they OEM'd on the car and sold. I hope this issue gets solved over time and I'd like to hear if other tires (like the Syncrones)are better and its not just the vehicle??. Otherwise I love the car and so does everyone else who rides in it

If it was a certfied Land Rover at a land rover dealer they should have replaced the tires.

I am buying the car from a friend...just waiting for the title. He bought from a Land Rover dealer,i called the dealer and they said that after 12,000 miles they will not deal with the tire issue. They did say that they would do a free aliegment but the Wrangler tires are clearly cupped but not completely worn but horribly noisy

There is a bulletin related to uneven tire wear for LR3s but it might only apply to original owners.
 
I will look it up for you.
