Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

I got excited at first thinking LR makes the covers for bigger sizes like 32", which is probably unlikely. Wonder what the D90 used and if that would fit over a 275/65-18?

Are you talking wheel covers?
If so, that one I picked up is an old genuine LR cover and 32” - mind you it’s a tight fit over the BFG.
LR did a limited run and some offered in 32” - I believe RoversNorth still have a few...

The Terra Grapplers have a 65k warranty so if they don't last that long they replace them.

Just FYI, on LT sizes the warranty on the TG2 is "only" 50K miles - and they will last that long no problem in my experience (I am on my second set of LT285/60R18 G2s.) Never tried a P-metric Nitto Terra G2, which is the type with the longer 65K mile warranty. As tires gets more "specialized" and less road biased, treadwear warranties kinda disappear, so not entirely surprised the Ridge Grappler doesn't offer any. Still, it looks like a nice tire.

Compos ordered, tires get the order today. Thanks for the help and this thread. I'll add pics for sure and let everyone know how it goes.

Black Rhino Overland delivered today in 18". I won't be able to dry mount to check for clearance of caliper, but the slaesman told me it's cut from the same barrel as the Mozambique. Fingers crossed.

Those look awesome. My tires are in but Compos won’t ship till June 7. How’s it ride?

Might be the first LR3 I've seen with compos.

Any reason you went with Compos instead of the LR3 18" wheels?

I went with the PD1881s because I wanted a smaller diameter (originally 19”) so I could fit the slightly oversized BFG 265/65/18s and have the larger V8 Brakes fitted. The deeper profile tyre is better for the off road stuff!
Oh, and compos look great!
Ride is great, soaks up those bumps and *** holes (roads are terrible here in the UK at present).
I thought the car would roll more on the deeper side walls, but corners like the 19”s.
Going laning next weekend to Wales for some off road testing!

Any ideas on tyre pressures for the BFG 265/65/18s? (Daily Driving)
They are “D” rated here in the UK, just wanted a starting point..
Had various recommendations, Prospeed say 36/38psi - seems a bit low to me???
