LR4 winter tires - 2025 edition
I would agree with you. However, most people in the Boston area, for example, don't use winter tires. I'm the only one I know in my office that uses winter tires. And my in-laws and many others in Montreal, until Canada made them mandatory, didn't either. And by real winters, I don't... -
LR4 winter tires - 2025 edition
I have heard nothing but excellent reviews for the Cross Climate tires. They are my go-to recommendation for people needing a year-round tire in an area that gets real winters. -
LR4 winter tires - 2025 edition
I'm sure you guys get pretty intense snow! Nokian have studded tires as well that apparently are amazing but winters in the greater Boston area are not what they used to be and the LR4 has been invincible in non-studded Hakkas all these years. We do go to Montreal and skiing, but again, never... -
LR4 winter tires - 2025 edition
Thanks for the feedback. Amazon and Nokian itself does not list the LR4 as compatible. As for other options, I love the X-Ice on our GTI, so I'd be happy to get those if you guys have tried them on the LR4. Have always had good luck with Blizzaks too going back to 2001 with a set of WS-50's for... -
LR4 winter tires - 2025 edition
Winter tire threads are all several years old, so I figured I would start a more recent discussion with a question. I'm starting to look at a new set of winter tires. I currently have older Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV tires. I am considering the newer R5 SUV tires for next year but despite the size... -

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
Sorry to see you go. Glad that you had a good experience with your LR4 all these years. -
becoming collectible
Wow. Not looking to sell mine, and mine has more surface rust on the chassis, but my 58k-mile "last of the V8's" 2013 with the HD pkg may still be worth a decent chunk. -
Tech inspection failed
Weird. Having done that job myself recently, all I can think of is that maybe it was damaged during install. Maybe only mildly at the time, but with time and thermal cycles it got worse? -
My 2012 LR4 is not starting anymore, help please
Buy a new battery. If it fixes that problem, that was it. If it doesn't, return it. -
2016 LR4 Dead... need help!
Glad it is resolved. Yet another instance of weird things happening relating to the battery. A new battery will always be my first solution unless the battery is newer than 2 years. I don't care what GAP or voltmeters say. -
Front Control Arm Replacement on LR4 and saw a warning light come on
I can't help you. But for reference, I recently did the front LCA's, hubs, and did a full front brake job. No codes. I took it to get aligned at the dealer and that was that. -
Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
Well, I don't want to say they were trying to scam me but I looked at the LR4 with as many lumens as could reasonably be produced and I cannot find any trace of any leak whatsoever. -
Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
Yeah, definitely. Thanks. It's definitely a minor leak. No dops of oil in the garage. -
Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
I've always run either the OE Castrol or Mobil or Castrol Extended Performance synthetic oils. I would certainly first try to seal from the outside if I can get away with it.
