    2014 LR4 lux delivery

    What would really be great is if they stuck the Diesel engine from your X5 in this that would make me jump all over it. Curious to hear your thought about that engine in your X5

    Looking for Tires

    I'm on my 2nd set of Pirelli ATR's. As quite as anything else with excellent Wet/snow traction. Really a good compromise.

    Cooper Zeons or ATR's or Something else ?

    Time for new tires but looking for some advice. I have read all the tire posts but can't seem to gauge how much more road noise in a zeon vs the ATR. I currently have the ATR's that are at 35k miles and end of life. I was very happy with ALL aspects of this tire (excellent all weather...

    Time for New 19" tires - would you recommend Zeon LTZ's or Pirelli ATR's

    got a flat in one of my Pirelli ATR's last week and all tires are down to their final months so i have to make a change of all tires. Curious to see if anyone has direct experience with both of these tires... I started off with the dreaded HP's that were awful and based on this forum...

    Took my LR3 to the dealer and now this...

    Thank you for your input(s). Question - the Indy tire shop basically shied away from have a balancing done stating that the balance was probably not going to help the shimmy due to the uneven tire wear (tires more worn on inside tread). Should i still have them balanced just in case? Also...

    Took my LR3 to the dealer and now this...

    My LR3 has 65k miles on it and recently took it in for some warranty work (covered by Ford ESP). While in the shop my service advisor called and told me that my front upper and lower control arms and bushings need to be changed plus some other items. ... All covered by warranty I had them all...

    The annual 19 inch tire question! Whattya got? Whattya like?

    Disappointed in the ATR's I for one read every 19" tire thread on this forum and finally settled on the ATR's. Changed to them at 48k and now at 65k I have fairly major cupping and this is causing the wheel to shimmy at speed over 50. Tread life is good and performance in snow/wet is...

    Extended Warranties

    Go to Fordfactoryplans.com and either select "under warranty"'and the maximum you can get is 7 hrs from inception date or select "not under factory warranty"'and the system will allow you to purchase up to 5 add'l years. The salesman at the time (I believe his name was Michael) turned me on too...

    I bought the Ford Plan and have not had to use it till recently … I bought it at 48k and at that time I was offered 7yr 100k from start date OR 4 yr 48k from that day forward. I chose the latter and effectively got another year with the same Mileage. All you guys looking into the Ford plan...

    tire 255/55/19

    I was in the market about 6 months ago and went with Pirelli ATR's and they are awesome. Super quiet and great wet traction and they look nice.

    Need a New Front Diff

    Have had a whining/droning sound that has been getting progressively worse over the last year. First, thought it might be tires, so i bought a new set of ATR's (glad i did) but that did not fix the problem. Took it in today for its 45k service (little over 46k) and was told that some bearing...

    New Pirelli Scorpion ATR's and question

    Just mounted Pirelli Scorpion ATR's after going through 2 sets of the horrible Goodyear Wranglers (dealer replaced first set under warranty at 12k, now at 42k) The reason of the change was the obvious loud noise coming from the tires. While my first impression of the ATR's is very positive...

    Odd Shutter at 70MPH with Cruise Control

    I had exactly what Chris listed. Cruising on the highway for extended periods and getting off the gas and back on it would cause a shudder and no acceleration. The dealer performed this update and no symptoms any more.

    Reason for cupped tires?

    My Goodyear's were replaced at 12k by the dealer due to excessive noise and cupping and now at 40k the "newer" ones have decent tread but unbearable noise.... For what it's worth - Michelin is no longer making the Synchrones and have replaced them with the Latitudes. I have read much better...

    Tire question 19's

    thank you all for your input. I had mixed up the Pirelli ATR's and Scorpions. Seems like the ATR is a much better tire. With that said, they do get very positive reviews and very negative reviews....i have decided i will probably try these and hope to be in the positive. If only Yokohama...

    Tires for the on-road guy

    i am in the same boat looking for tires(19's) mainly for the road and have a hard time deciding. I can tell you that I have the Yokohamas for my Disco II and can't be happier. Got 65k out of my first set and they were very quiet to the end. Just put on my second set. If they made this tire...

    Tire question 19's

    Hello All - Most of the people on this board seem to have 18" rims and tire choices a plenty. Any suggestions for a mall mom who is on road 99% and has 19" rims? Had sights set on the Michelin Synchrones but they are now discontinued - anyone know why? Replaced by Michelin Latitudes but...

    Couple of weeks ago - while driving to the beach on vacation i noticed that on the hwy going about 70mph, if i got off the throttle and got back on it the truck would have a very slight vibration coming from the rear area and make a fairly audible resonating pulsating sound...it would do it...

    hankook anyone?

    curious to see if anyone has tried these tires in the 19" size? Discount tire reviews have them at 5/5 star rating and they can't be beat at $185 each.
