    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Colorover, I think you'd be happy with the DuraTrac then. They're rated for severe weather and have lots of sipes (and look awesome). The only thing is when you have to slam on the brakes they're very soft so the truck might move slightly right or left (fortunately it doesn't happen often and...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Based on my experience the DuraTrac were great in snow and ice. Not a winter dedicated tire obviously but totally fine if you know how to drive and also depending on where you live. I took mine to Colorado and other places in the Southwest in winter without any trouble. That being said being in...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I'm currently using the Nokia R2 in 265/65R18 on the Compos coming from DuraTrac 265/65R18. Size difference is .5" (31.1 vs 31.6). Everyday difference is huge, no more rubbing the frame horn when getting in and out of parking spots and tight maneuvering. I haven't taken them off-road but I bet...

    2017 Discover; Diesel or Gas?

    This will sound like I'm some sort of elitist... but aren't we all? Driving Land Rovers rather than Jeeps ;) Coming from someone who grew up in Europe (above the average median income) this talk about diesel seems ludacris. Why would anyone pick a diesel over a gasoline engine??? They polute...

    You will lose your OEM center caps on the Compos (don't ask me how I know). You can find some online (eBay) that work well with the Compos.

    Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 Review

    LR Manhattan had my 20s Michelin inflated to 44psi... under that they'd flat spot when parked for a few days. Installer both under inflated front and over inflated rear. Nokia recommended OEM inflation, so 38/42 with 0.2 bar extra when temperature gets under 32F.

    Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 Review

    What pressure do you all set your tires at? I purchased the R2 SUV 255/65R18 which I got installed on the Compos. Installer set them at 36/46 (front/rear). I changed to 42/44. They're rated 115R XL Thank you

    Passenger front squealing

    Possibly a slightly bent guard plate (behind the rotor).

    new 18" wheel from Lucky8 offoad?

    I don't see any mention of these wheels being DOT approved. They most likely are off-road only. Granted the Compos are probably not DOT approved either (but might attract less attention from law enforcement).

    new 18" wheel from Lucky8 offoad?

    Steelies are steelies. Nothing to them and easy to bend. Used by lots of people in the winter due to potholes and ability to fix them when they're bent for cheap. In addition, had they been specifically designed for the LR4, they wouldn't need spacers. The Compomotive might look boy racer to...

    Bad vibration

    On my 20s I seem to get flat spots as well at LR recommended tire pressure. LR Manhattan had set the pressure at 44psi and it was fine even after weeks without moving (NYC life). I then changed to 38/42 and kept getting very intrusive vibrations. After a while I inflated the tires back to...

    Flashing Parking Brake light on dash

    I had the same issue as you and had to replace the parking brake actuator kdegLR4 on my 2010. Fortunately it was under warranty.

    Warped Rotors

    As mentioned for me it was the hubs. It could simply be that one of your other hubs is defective without being out of spec (I mean within the margin of error allowed by LR). Could your rims be out of spec and create uneven pressure on the rotors therefore "warping" them. LR Albany, NY told me...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I also love the Sport, old and new. Actually almost got one beginning of this year but my wife prefers the boxier LR4 so we got another LR4. As far as the FJ Cruiser it is difficult to not like it. Until I sat inside and tried to set a comfortable seating position... bar ergonomics but really...

    Warped Rotors

    I've had similar issues over the past couple years on 2 different LR4s. An independent mechanic told me it was due to the hubs. LR kept denying it until I moved to NM where they ended up replacing all of the hubs. First both front and then one rear. That solved the rotor warping problem. On...

    Lowering an LR4.
