    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Will do. About 40 miles in, haven't driven past 40 - 50 mph yet so cannot really comment on noise yet, but have not really noticed any noise so far within that mph range compared to the stock contis with apx 7.7k miles that these WRG3s have replaced. As for bumps/lumps, etc, despite the...

    Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick

    This thread has become really both fun and sad read :). Here is one more reason for me to hug my LR4 today: Amazes me how much room LR3/4 got. Fit these four tires with ease with plenty of wiggle room on the sides and several inches in front and behind these vertical standing tires, without...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Mine came with the Nokian' Aramid Sidewall tech. So far only about 30 some miles on the dry pavement in 60s F, so dont really have much to offer yet. Want to properly break them in for about five hundred miles or so before I could really judge the tire. But coming from the shitty stock...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Finally got them installed. Ordered thru Discount Tire at $199 piece and had em mounted at my local trustworthy tire shop that i've known for a bit. Have to admit, since there aren't that many pix of WRG3 SUV on LR3/4 out there, I was a bit skeptical as far as the looks of the tire, but the...

    First Winter Drive...

    Haha, exactly. I know the feeling :) I remember when I first got my LR3 back in '06, having lived in the east coast with new england winter for fifteen years, I was so psyched to drive it on snow/ice that only a couple of days later I actually drove quite a bit of ways out and into the state...

    Any idea who makes the OEM Windshield sunshade?

    I believe the part number is: VPLFY0068 I have an OEM one from my MY13, but for some reason it won't fit right or easily in my 16. Guessing it could be due to different size of sensors/camera assembly behind/under the rearview mirror. My 13 did not have the adaptive cruise control but 16...

    Mistery [non]start issue ...

    Exact same thing happened to me about a year and a half ago with my 13 lux. Temps in the seventies, was running errands mid day, parked for a few mins, got back in the car, hit the button and nothing. Several attempts to start, got out of the car, locked the doors, unlocked, got back in, tried...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Been doing some research on the Hakkas 9 Studded and the non-studded versions. Man, would have loved to put those on my LR4 for my winter/snowy mountains, high elevation trips this year. I could imagine LR4 being pretty much unstoppable with the studded version :) But here in southern cal...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Cant seem to find the specs for WRG3 SUV in 255/55/19 size, including Nokian' own site. Looking for overall diameter specifically.

    WeatherTech vs ? floor liners

    Installed the Kagu 3D for the fronts a couple of days ago, beige color, matches really well to the car interior, contributing to overall brightness and roominess. Look great and better coverage from WeatherTech, but WeatherTech had better coverage around the entrance area where the black...

    Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick

    I respectfully disagree. Up until now, each redesign has always been evolutionary rather than a complete departure as an attempt now to cater to a completely different audience. And thats totally fine as we all know by now that Land Rover as a company is no longer in the business of designing...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Order placed for four. Per their site Nokian offers 30 day return option if unhappy for some reason, and I have confirmed it with the reseller. If all goes well then I will order the fifth one for the full size spare. Really hoping that the ride quality, bumps/minor potholes handling, and...

    Preferred washer fluids?

    So no LR recommended washer fluid? My '16 handbook only says "Windshield wash with frost protection" as specification under the Lubricants and Fluids table on page 268. Disservice at the the local stealership handed me a very small 6 oz bottle of some generic brand for $3, saying that thats...

    LR4 in high cross winds situation

    This think is built like a tank, period. Thanks to all that mass/weight and that lower center of gravity. Its been pretty windy last few days here in LA with strong gusty bursts, etc, specially last night as I was driving home. Inside the cabin it was like, I know that there is chaos outside...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Have been quoted $199 each for four WRG3 SUV at a tire shop about sixteen miles from me as my local tire shop here in SoCal doesn't carry Nokians. Plan to pick them up and have them balance/installed at my local and tried tire shop for about $160. Does $199 sound about right to you guys...

    WeatherTech vs ? floor liners

    Noticed that on ebay listings the fit/compatibility guide is good for my MY16 only for the fronts and the third row. Listings for the second row show compatibility thru MY12. Maybe thats why listings for the full set on amazon or ebay are not compatible for my year. I guess I will start with...

    WeatherTech vs ? floor liners

    Was looking at these yesterday and was about to ask here if anybody was using them. Definitely look better as far as coverage than the WeatherTechs I got now. Thinking of ordering these and returning the WeatherTechs. But the amazon link below says they will not fit 2016, what year is yours...

    WeatherTech vs ? floor liners

    Thx. Part number for the OEM ones? Also, does LR make a tan/beige version to match their interiors?

    WeatherTech vs ? floor liners

    Just put in front and rear rubber floor liners for my '16. A bit disappointed quite frankly, primarily due to the lack of coverage, specially the passenger side front and the rear ones. I sort of bought into all the hype of laser-measured dimensions, etc. They maybe good for other make/models...

    How our LR3s and 4s would do on this test?

    So the question is, just to be clear, can an LR3/4 send 100% of the torque to a single Front wheel (or a Rear wheel) if needed (in both versions, with and without the the HD package)?

    How our LR3s and 4s would do on this test?

    Thanks, I have seen that a while back, some crazy stuff. But I meant the roller test (or real world situation) with only one front wheel with traction. Could that one wheel pull our heavy truck up a grade, the way that subaru is able to?
