The annual 19 inch tire question! Whattya got? Whattya like?
I've had the Dunlop SP Sport Signatures on for about a month now. They have a very aggressive deep tread, but they ride quiet and smooth. I have one big complaint about them so far, however. My mileage dropped by about 1.5-2 mpg with them! The rolling resistance is very high, and I can tell... -
The annual 19 inch tire question! Whattya got? Whattya like?
Well the ATR's are on national backorder, indefinitely. I checked a second source and they said the same thing. So those are out. I've decided to go with the Dunlop SP Sport Signature tires due to availability and a decent price. I'm a bit nervous as they are termed "high performance", as... -
The annual 19 inch tire question! Whattya got? Whattya like?
Sorry to bump and oldish thread, but it's now my turn for a new set of 19" tires for my '05 LR3 HSE. I've gotten about 45K miles on my synchrones, which sounds about average from what I've read from others on here. Tire wear is very uneven though with the fronts wearing on the insides, to the... -
Cool feature - auto horn in emergency braking
It is possible that my hand slipped and was resting on the horn, but I didn't think so. Everything happened so fast, that anything's possible... -
Cool feature - auto horn in emergency braking
I had a near miss this morning when a deer ran right out in front of me, and I had to slam the brakes (and I mean SLAM!) and swerve, in wet conditions, going about 45MPH to avoid collision. What I didn't realize was that the horn automatically sounds during very hard braking! (at least I think... -
Transmission problem
I'm also out of warranty and get this problem too (although not as bad as the first poster). So you guys think this is something they would do for free, even if it's out of warranty? I don't even know if it's ever been done, as I'm not the original owner. -
Looking for a Roof Rack for my '07 LR3, need direction
I'm always looking for nice racks too. Oh wait, never mind....:tongue: -
Bike Rack for Tow Hitch
Yeah I didn't even realize I had one until after I had bought the vehicle and the hitch receiver was in the rear floor compartment (I don't have the third row seats, and yes that's where it's stored). -
Dual battery setup...
Sorry for the ignorant question, but what's the purpose of having dual batteries? -
Never Coming Back Again
I also have a 2005 LR3, as the original poster. Over 55K miles and no battery problems or anything else of note. -
LR3 hitch height
I tow a 6500 lb boat and I use a 2 1/2" rise ball mount, which I think is about a 4" drop if turned over. This is a heavy-duty one-piece (not welded) hitch that is rated for something like 12,000 lbs (I don't have it here in front of me). The manual does state that you should not exceed a... -
Paint protection while offroading
To the original poster, I find that branch scratches down the side aren't nearly as bad as they first look. Use the 3 step Meguiars treatment (Deep Crystal System Paint cleaner, Deep Crystal system Polish and then wax) and you'll probably won't be able to see anything except if you look really... -
New Nav Disc
I thought in '05 it was under the passenger seat, but I may be wrong. -
Does your dealer tell you NOT to Rotate your tires?
Even with AWD fronts will generally wear faster than rears due to steering. And because of AWD a lot of times you will have to replace all 4 tires, even if only 2 are really worn. Because of this, I frequently rotate my tires front to rear. These tires are expensive enough already! -
Transmission jerking?
Chuckie? You must be referring to the Heat Miser avatar above?
