    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Looks like Continental did test their TerrainContact with LR4 as the truck shows up in the following promotional video from them a few times:

    Does Air suspension need to be in Offroad mode for Hoisting jack?

    Also, a service advisor mentioned that if you left the hood popped, the vehicle will know that its in maintenance mode and won' mess with the suspension. So yesterday I got the wheels rotated and balanced. Tire shop guys were pretty good, they told me they usually lock the suspension in the...

    Does Air suspension need to be in Offroad mode for Hoisting jack?

    Thanks ryanji, yes its a 2-post lift. Talked to the local dealership' shop foreman, he said that LR recommends off road mode for 2-post/hoisting lifts as well but he also said that he didn't do it at his dealership because the vehicle is smart enough to know that its high-centered so it would...

    Does Air suspension need to be in Offroad mode for Hoisting jack?

    Thank rider, but since the manual does not mention anything about jacking the vehicle on all four corners on a hoisting jack, what would be your recommendation here? Thanks. Also, interesting enough, found this in the handbook yesterday: "WARNING: Do not rotate tires around the vehicle."...

    Does Air suspension need to be in Offroad mode for Hoisting jack?

    Maybe related, the MY16 handbook states (as a "Warning") that air suspension needs to be in Offroad mode before jacking the truck up for a flat tire change. The hoisting jack I am talking about is like those two poles ones with one pole on each side and with four extenders lifting the truck on...

    Drove the new Discovery and I'm totally confused now.

    And the Adaptive Dynamic Suspension (from the FFRR), a must for LR4 :) But again then the LR4 would start competing with its big brother. IMHO, this internal competition with the FFRR and the LR's desire to keep the distance between LR4 and its big brother, is the main reason why LR4 never...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I recently bought the following inflator, works great for quickly bringing the levels up to specs.

    Drove the new Discovery and I'm totally confused now.

    Yeah totally agree on the limited range. I too like the scV6' new center console design but am not a fan of the rotary knob at all. The v8' console, specially the Terrain Response knob seemed like an after market add on, not surprisingly, because it was a direct lift from the Range Rover/Sport...

    Drove the new Discovery and I'm totally confused now.

    epiclr4, my personal experience so far with the scv6 has been limited as I am still, partly at least, breaking the engine in and haven't really pushed it yet. I have got about 3k miles on it. Last week we went on an hour or so long drive for a family get together with the truck loaded with...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Ha. And perfect! As I want to see how they look on the factory 19 inch size. Also, curios what your first impressions would be as far as the difference between the ride quality since you will be driving with the existing tires that come with your truck and then moving to the TerrainContact.

    Drove the new Discovery and I'm totally confused now.

    When I was presented with the dilemma of keeping my 13 LR4/v8 or replacing it with a new LR4/v6, just to avoid the v6, I looked pretty hard at the RR inside out and tried to like it, but: A: Could not get over the limited cargo space, non-stadium seating, and the bowing rear end and the...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Oh thats excellent! Cant wait to see the pictures and your review. What size did you end up ordering, I am planning to stick with the factory 255/55/19.

    Drove the new Discovery and I'm totally confused now.

    The above is exactly what I had told the suites over at the LA Auto show. I had told them that by turning LR4/Discovery into a generic product (which is essentially a cross between an Audi, BMW, Ford, and Volvo), you yourself are forcing me, the "returning" customer, to look else where because...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Thanks, catman. Could be the compound etc. Kerrie, if you end up going with the ContactTerrain, would love some pix and your feedback and first impressions. Cant wait to get rid of my stock contis even with only 3k miles. They are feeling a little better now only because temps here are a bit...

    Nokian WRG2(3) Tread life

    Thanks all, much appreciated. As of now, I could easily see two sets in my future :) One set for sure with the WRG3 and the other with something like the conti TerraContact. Jwest, the Mich M/S 2 that you are recommending, is this the Latitude or Premier LTX? Or neither.

    Nokian WRG2(3) Tread life

    Yes very much interested here myself in finding out about the off road capability of these. Has to be better than the stock contis.

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Yeah that could be it. Also I noticed that the description on that link that wyrover posted it says that the tire has snow/mountain symbol with the exception of 255/55/19 (the one i need :) Whats up with that? Amazes me that the bean counters/marketers/suits at LR (cuz I am damn sure it...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Dang, great tire but the Q speed rating on Duratrac is a total deal breaker for me. Not often but occasionally if needed I step on it. So would like to continue maintaining the flexibility of being able to go fast if needed or the situation calls for it. So as of now the new conti Terrain...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Thanks, wyrover. So how come the tire does not show up in the list when i put in LR4 in their online system?

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Ideally, would love to get an AT tire with some decent off road capability for trips to desert/dirt roads etc (without having the fear of flats) and good in rain/wet and winter and snow. The new continental Terrain Contact is looking pretty good but does not have the snow symbol and I dont...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    I was pretty set on getting WRG3 and another set of something like Duratrac or Silent Armor but now all this talk of Duratrac doing great in snow is making me reconsider everything :) Today I spotted an LR3 with Silent Armors at my local grocery store parking lot. Owner told me that he had...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Is Duratrac available in 255/55/19? Also what about Silent Armor? Cant find it in 255/55/19 anywhere.

    :-( broke my rear windshield :-(

    I am sure it will be fine as I think replacing the rear windshield should be a lot simpler and less complicated than doing the front one. And the fronts are done and replaced by workshops all the time. Call someone like Safelite Repair and see what they say to just get an idea. I just checked...
