#1 Post by mint.sauce » Tue Oct 02, 2012 11:53 am

Hello all,

I currently live in LA but was a resident of BC for years where i bought my LR3 new. I travel north lots so i was curious what replacement tires would you recommend i get to replace my old rubber? The tire size is 255/55R19.

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Dean

Hi Dean,
Is it mainly on-road use, or are you spending a fair bit of time off-road too?
Does your time up North include Winter travel?

Hi Andy,
Mostly road but do hit trails too sometimes. And some winter driving but not that much down here. If i did i would throw chains on.
Thank you.

There is a RL member JC who found some good looking 19" tires for his LR3, maybe he will post up the details...
Maybe a little aggresive for what you are looking for, but they sure looks the part and he has found them to be very good all round performers.
I believe they were Goodyear Wranglers in the first photo but he may of changed them to another type by the second photo (3 yrs later):?:

I've fitted a set f cooper Zeon LTZ to my 2006 LR3. So far I'm impressed with them they have a an aggressive tread pattern but the road noise is no worse than the pirelli scorpions that I replaced. I've put about 5000km on them (mostly city driving) and they are holding up well. My tire guys recommended rotating them every 5000km as they are soft/sticky tires. cooper just came out with the 255/55/19 size for us LR3 Range Rover owners that wanted a little more aggressive tire but didn't want to buy new 18" rims.
