    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I’d be surprised if America’s Tire (Discount Tire) would do such a thing, but I have it at my shop to try and assess what happened and if they determine it was something the tire shop did, I’ll be having an additional conversation with them (I called them this morning to inform them)

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    It’ll have to wait, my truck dumped its entire tank of fuel this morning from the engine area and I haven’t driven anywhere since getting home from the tire shop yesterday. I’m not sure if they damaged something or if it’s an unfortunate coincidence. I have to get it towed as it’s currently a...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    That is true but there’s very few AT tire options available. 265/65 and 265/60 have loads of options for each.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Well the wheels and tires went on this morning and I'm pretty happy with my choice based on initial impressions. I chose the Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek in 265/65 XL rated. The wheels are the Nomad Sahara in the Copperhead color way, 18x8 ET44. Edit: I did some more testing and I do notice...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    AH thank you! That makes sense regarding the differences. I'd been trying in vain to truly understand the variations in tires but my previous mindset to most things was just "throw LTs at it", which isn't "wrong" but may not always be the best solution. I love learning new things so I appreciate...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Here's something I couldn't figure out. The tire I ultimately was most interested in was the Falken Wildpeak AT4W, however I determined the LT size was going to be too large physically to work without modification. However what I thought was strange was that the 265/60 is XL rated, while the...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Yeah those are handy links for sure! I just have to measure things up. I'm actually unsure of the exact offset of the OEM 19s. Without having removed one of the wheels yet I've not found that spec. But I do have all the details for my new setup at least. I decided on the Coopers and I'm having...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I’ve been trying to make the same decision but for the LR4, I don’t want to overdo it and add all this unnecessary stress to the system but it does seem that the 31.5” size is suitable for our vehicles without having to further modify (based on the abundance of information in this multi-year...

    2012 LR4 - Diagnosing two separate vibrations

    Very interesting! I will definitely look into this one, thank you so much for the details and suggestion!

    2012 LR4 - Diagnosing two separate vibrations

    Some interesting things in that thread but they all seemed to be at higher speeds. Mine is very distinctly at low speed only in the 20-30mph range and only if reaching that range with moderate+ acceleration. I do use the parking brake every time I park though so that could be related? I’m...

    Great suggestions! Thank you! I'll add those to the list to inspect.

    Rear Ladders on LR4

    That makes sense too, I have looked at that option too but wasn't 100% sure it would clear my existing roof rack or not (full length BajaRack). I think it would, but I was hesitant with ladder options that stick above the door line.

    2012 LR4 - Diagnosing two separate vibrations

    Haha I'm still learning as I go here! Regarding Vibration #2: I've no history on the alignment of the truck and haven't had it done yet since purchasing a month ago. I was going to wait until I replace the wheels and tires with an 18" option and all new tires (which I'm intending to do within...

    2012 LR4 - Diagnosing two separate vibrations

    I'm back with more questions! (Thank you to those who have been so helpful already in these early days of my LR journey). I've been digging around through this and other forums and haven't quite found exactly these conditions, but I did get some ideas of what to potentially look into. I'm...

    Rear Ladders on LR4

    I don’t think those were the original ones though were they? It was my understanding they were left side mounted (driver’s side for my market). I’m leaning toward the Front Runner option though it’s a shame they’ve doubled in cost from what they were originally.

    Rear Ladders on LR4

    That's a neat thing I've not seen before, I'll check those out as well. You're not wrong at all, it's honestly silly, but it's one of those details I saw as a kid in the 90s on early Discos that I kinda fell in love with, though I would actually find it practical now for my intended use cases...

    H/K Logic7 system blown?

    I've been trying to test further (I've not yet removed any trim panels to get at the amp in my 2012). I've tried isolating each speaker set in playing the same song I typically use to test speakers / headphones (Bohemian Rhapsody). All speaker sets sound identical to me and arguably "improve" if...

    H/K Logic7 system blown?

    I agree in thinking that it's blown speakers, that's been the only viable explanation I've found thus far. My LR4 is a 2012 with the upgraded Harmon Kardon system, I believe according to the spec sheet it was an 825w system but I'm not 100% certain. I'll just add it to my growing list of...

    H/K Logic7 system blown?

    Just following up, I did a test as best I could to isolate each speaker and confirmed at the very least there is still sound coming from each one and the subwoofer is connected / working. I then had the thought to just really crank the volume and that did improve things but I don't want to have...

    H/K Logic7 system blown?

    I’ll check the sub in the tailgate and double check that my audio settings are correct on both the head unit and my phone (our other vehicle uses CarPlay so it just “works”) But yeah it’s really weird. It’s just like there’s only high frequency coming through. No mid range or bass.

    H/K Logic7 system blown?

    Hi everyone, new round here but I’ve still got more questions to ask. I’m loving my LR4, however, there’s one area where I’m not sure if I’m experiencing an issue or if I just have different expectations. So to my understanding I have the 825W HK Logic7 setup which on paper at least should be a...

    Rear Ladders on LR4

    I’ve not seen a stock one pop up yet used, and the frontrunner was definitely a…. Front runner (sorry I couldn’t pass up the pun) and I’ll potentially be going that route. The one from Voyager also seemed interesting, but it does stick up a bit above the top of the trunk door and I worry that...

    Rear Ladders on LR4

    Thanks! My LR4 is a Firenze too ;)

    Hello from California!

    Oh definitely it's on the list to address. The previous owner had a number of major service items done in their two years of ownership and the owner prior to them owned a Rover specialty shop here in CA and it was his personal vehicle, where it underwent an engine rebuild and a host of other...

    Rear Ladders on LR4

    Hi everyone, My LR4 currently has a full length Bajarack up top which I'm very happy with. I'd like to add a rear ladder to the back and I've been looking for an OEM one but they seem to be long gone unless a used one were to pop up. I'm curious if anyone knows which ladders would be compatible...
