So been working to get my 2013 LR4 exactly as I want it. Truck currently has the OEM Conti 4x4 Contact street tires on it, and they're literally almost brand spankin new. I never intended for this truck to be an insane offroader. It will stay 99% stock and probably spend 75% of its life on the road. Being in NC though, I would like to take it to Uwharrie National Park, Biltmore Estate in Asheville, some of the drivable beaches etc and that's really about it.
I've been torn on what to do with the tires though. I don't care for the super aggressive AT's and am really liking the Continental TerrainContact as it blends street and offroad a little more than the super aggressive ATs. But I hate to scrap basically new OEM tires if I don't truly need the AT. For the driving scenarios I mentioned above, are AT's really necessary? Looks like to me LR Experience Asheville sends their trucks out on bone factory tires and they appear to be very capable like that.
Thoughts?
