Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

[TLB]

I just used my original TPMS sensors with my compos on 2013 LR4. I have had no problems at all.

I removed all my TPMS when I went to my Compos and disabled them via IID Tool.

I tried to use after market TPMS (actually Direct Tire did) on my 2014 LR4. Didn't work. I believe they used a different system in the 2014. Different signal level or something. I had to go with the LR OEM sensors. Before you ask, I kept the original sensors in the original wheels. I put my snow tires on those.

TPMS removed (useless in my mind) and disabled feature with IIDTool.

Thanks everyone! Just to give an update, I got the compos and BFG 265/65/18 installed yesterday. They look amazing!! No rubbing. Had to deflate one tire to fit into spare well. Didn't have to remove heat shield. Will post pics as soon as I get the black center caps installed. Stock silver ones look odd on black wheels.

Stock tpms didn't fit in compos. Ignoring the warning until I purchase the iidtool.

Now I have to research what to get for underbody protection. Have to search the forums.

It looks like everyone who got black compos ( PD1880 or PD1881) had to get new TPMS. Like I mentioned previously I used my original TPMS on anthracite gray compos.
You will have slight rubbing at max. steering lock on frame horns up front and under maximum suspension compression in the back on wheel well lining. It will get better once your tires will lose some tread. No need to relocate AC lines.
I am surprised you were able to fit a spare tire without removing a heat shield. I still have to kick my spare few times in order to get it all the way up. ( deflated to about 8 PSI). Make sure a spare is all the way up and in contact with a frame.
Post some pictures of your spare under your truck.
I put about 15,000 miles on my BFGs and they are in great shape. I do 5 wheel rotation pattern every 5,000 miles. Steering is nice and stable , very even tire wear. For city and highway driving I keep the following cold tire pressure F 42 PSI and R 48PSI. When off roading I deflate to 35 PSI (front and back) ( HOT tire pressure ) for better comfort and smoother ride.
Last time I went to 25 PSI hot since the driving was on soft sand. Probably it was not needed.
It looks like BFG will last for long time. My original contis with only 5000 miles on them look horrible. I think they would last no more than 10-15,000 highway driven miles.
Some of you remember that originally I planned on putting Compos with BFG for off roading only and use original 19 inch land rover wheels for everyday driving. ( LR4 is my wife's car). Since my significant other fell in love with BFG / compos set up, they stayed on the truck since day one.
Now, every time I see LR4 with original wheels / tires it looks to me like something is not right. It is not cheap to get 5 compos and put all terrain tires but a new look of the truck with this set up is worth the money.
( especially if you use your LR4 as it should be used).

After a close look (sorry when the wheels/tires were installed it was late in evening and my wife has been driving since) it looks the spare tire may not be all the way up.

it looks like the spare should go a little higher. I will find some pictures I took in the past and post them later. I am still amazed you were able to push it so far with heat shield in place. Is your wheel/ tire pushing on a heat shield??
