    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    It's probably going to be Coopers then, thanks for your thorough feedback. As for their looks, which I shamelessly admit matter to me quite a bit, I think they are just as aggressive and beefy as BFG/Terra Grapplers/General Grabbers. And since I have a set of Blizzaks on my OEM 19 wheels for...

    285/60/18 is my tire size of choice, after much consideration given to 265/65 as well. Thanks for the review of both Cooper and Nitto TGs. I still wanted to know the difference between "P-metric 285/60R18 (Extra Load, 120S) and the 10-ply equivalent LT285/60R18 (123S)". They are the same size...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I'm looking at 285/60R18 ZEON LTZ 120S XL BLK at Tread Depot - Umberto, is this the tire you were recommending? Could you, or someone else, please explain the difference/terms used between these: "P-metric 285/60R18 (Extra Load, 120S) or the much heavier, 10-ply equivalent LT285/60R18 (123S)"...

    Not an easy decision here, but I may be deciding on 285s here. Thank you all for your input. I also just wired the payment for 5 rims to Compomotive today and can't wait to get them (ordered them in silver, will post pix once wheels/tires are installed). I am looking at TerraGrapplers vs. BF...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    OK, thanks for the pointers. No 285/65s for sure! Seems like it boils down to 285/60/18 vs. 265/65/18. Between those two, do you guys know the biggest difference in performance on/off road, other factors? The taller sidewall on the 265/65 may give more rim protection as well as possibly perform...

    2012 LR4 HSE tire options with 18 wheels Hi, So I'm pulling the trigger on the 18 Compomotive rims. Now I am looking at 285/60/18 and 285/65/18. Could one of you guys remind me what would be required to fit the 285/65/18 tires? Some of you have already posted info reg. 285/60/18 and I may...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Yeah, I'm getting that spare for sure. Thx for reassurance reg. the heat shield. And getting that spare on/off for winter/summer will only make my job easier if I ever really need to do it, which I most likely eventually will if I have enough fun out there. I'm located in Chicago, but will check...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Great and thourough explanations, thank you both. I didn't realize that much of a damage/trouble can be caused by mere 1.42" of a difference. Anyway, I am going to heed your advice and definitely get the 5th wheel - def. not so proverbial in this case, ha! What also made me doubt the necessity...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    After considering my options and thanks to your encouragement I will be pulling the trigger on the 18 Compos (in silver, which unfortunately means extra charge!). I will be fitting them with the Cooper Zeons 285/60/18 tires. All your advice is greatly appreciated - my dealer/local shop wouldn't...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Does anyone know a reliable indy shop in Chicago area that would install the Compomotive rims and new tires AND/OR take care of any necessary adjustments/mods if in fact needed? Although I hope they are not really needed, as a few members clearly indicated earlier. Thanks, Bartek

    Hi Joe and thanks for sharing your research/conclusions. Are you planning on getting the Compomotive 18 rims for those KO2s 285/60/18s? Seems like the only, or best , option, based on several other communication exchanges and responses I got. Thx, Bartek

    Thanks for advice! Hey there Umberto, Thanks for the tips, I am afraid I will have to cough up the £1200 if I want those size tires/rims, ha! Do you think that any shop could install them or should I head to the dealer? Although the dealer may bring up warranty issues...not sure. Did you...
