Thanks for all the info...the General Grabber AT2 has gotten a lot of good reviews; just not sure how noisy it is? The vehicle will spend most of its time on-road. Still have not been able to find out much about the Avon Tech ST. Seems to be a wide range of reviews; but most on the LR3 are very positive. |

| The one other tire I am considering is the Toyo Open Country HT...overall reviews looked pretty good and believe Toyo is a reputable dealer. | |

Replying to: arcjones (Oct 04, 2007 12:33 pm) I highly recommend the Avon Tech ST tires for the LR3 SE. I do suggest anyone that replaces their tires to make sure they get an alignment done with the updated specs. I also keep the Psi in the tires at the recommended levels according to what is posted on the inside of the door. I have also been very happy with the LR3 with no problems except for tire wear which appears to be corrected. I average about 19 mpg highway and 15 mpg city driving.

| I finally got my new tires put on this past saturday. 22,500 miles on the goodyears and the belts were showing through. I have just less than a year on my lease left and picked up a one year alignment from tire kingdom. Bought the tires through tire rack and had them delivered. The LR3 never had an alignment! anyway... the truck rides completely different, much better. Probably more to do with the alignment, but the tires are nice. I will update as I wear them in. | |

Reading all about the lawsuits going on in California, I called Landrover to see what they would do for my tire issues, and I was told that the Goodyear’s were not supposed to last 24,000 miles and that I got more out of them than usual. That means you have to get a new set of tire even before your first set of break pads! I have been complaining about the tire noise and the jagged edges on the inside of the tires but can’t get Landrover to do anything. Finally last week I noticed the inside of the rear tires have worn to the white stuff under the rubber even though the outside part looks like new. Just switched to the Michelin 4x4 syncrone and hope they last longer than the Goodyear’s….. Hope someone will initiate an east coast lawsuit so they don’t get away with it…….. BTW in my office block we have 4 LR3s and all but 1 has the same issue at anything from 12,000 miles thru 22,000 miles.......

Traded in my British junk LR3 for a good american Tahoe and I know I'll get 40,000 plus miles on my Goodyear tires. Also getting far better gas milage with 17 in the city. Could never get that on the LR3 even on the highway.

Replying to: lr3looser (Nov 19, 2007 6:40 am) have had the following issues with my 2007 Tahoe, anyone else out there had the same issues? If so, what was the solution (if any)? 1 - Trouble starting on occasion. Always eventually starts, but really labors. Check engine light comes on often (not always) and Onstar diagnosis the problem as an issue with the ignition system. Of course, the dealer can never replicate the problem. 2- Complete loss of Nav / Sound / Onstar - Seen similar threads on this so I know others have experienced it. 3 - Wiper/Washers go on by themselves and don't stop. 4 - In the middle of a 95 degree SoCal day, the A/C wouldnt work and the light started blinking. According to the owners manual, that means its too cold outside for the A/C to work. Obviously, since it was 95 outside, something was wrong. I've had three Tahoes and I have loved them all, but all 3 have had lots of these annoying issues. Definitely considering another brand when my lease comes up. |

Replying to: lr3looser (Nov 19, 2007 6:40 am) I have seen plenty of Tahoes with seriously cupped tires. It was actually a common problem on the last generation of Tahoe not sure if they solved it with the new model. |

I'm another LR3 owner with abnormal tire cupping and need to replace tires. I've heard Michelin Synchrones and Toyo Proxies are good replacements. Anyone have opinions on these two. I'd like to hear results from owners who had bad experience with the original Goodyears and replaced tires with another brand. Did your problems recur? For me, the primary annoyance is the unbearable road noise caused by the tire cupping!
