Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

[MellonRover]

Are those Mudtech Raid rims?

Yep

Alright wasn't too terrible (just a little) but I got my LR4 back. Here it is at off-road height with the Cooper Rugged Trek and Nomad Sahara 18s

Truly the best color!

@CRYA You are entitled to be wrong about the colour;-). But your front bumper is awesome.

@Abram Those wheels and tires look just about “Right”.

What was the fuel episode all about?

 

[tpat]

The load range depends on the cargo and/or tongue weight and the axle capacity and you might have a stiffer ride than needed. I would go with the BFG KO2's for Utah. The Toyo and MT's would be good for Nevada but in Utah the terrain is much more rocky.

Thanks for the input. I'd consider the KO2 if the wet performance wasn't so bad. I don't want to wait for the KO3 unfortunately. Do you think the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 will do good on rocks?

Yeah I like the presence it gives the truck for sure. So the TL;DR of what happened is that the Fuel Supply Manifold failed on my truck and as such it literally ejected my full tank of gas while driving. It was honestly a dangerous situation but I was able to get it towed safely to my rover shop. They replaced the part and all was well, but I actually discovered a slow leak in it today so I think something worked loose and it's got to go back in for inspection. We'll get it sorted.

Holy cow! Never heard of that happening. Out of interest how many miles? I’m wondering if that should be a maintenance item, like the rear coolant cross over pipes.

My truck has 143k on it, but had an engine rebuild at 95k. I acquired it only a month ago at 142k and have put quite a lot into it getting to a solid "baseline", but it hasn't deterred me thus far. I really enjoy driving this thing. For the record, the part that failed is the Fuel Supply Manifold (PN: LR013820)

I ran them in Seattle and the back-country roads (Rainer, Olympics, Cascades, etc) and didn't have a wet weather problem. I loved driving them in snow. The last rig I had them on was a Silverado big block 496CI V8 4X4.

Aside from my personal experience, there was an Australian test where guys evaluated a set of tires off-road, which included a puncture test with a tool, and the K02's had the strongest sidewall of them all by a good bit.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds scary. What is the fuel supply manifold? I can't find it on mine in the manual, curious what condition its in. I do have a fire extinguisher lol. There has been a couple engine fires posted to reddit, but nobody really knows why they caught fire. Here is a diagram, which part is it?
