What is even scarier than that is the fact that many used LR4's for sale have those stock tires on them, meaning the owners/leasers simply put on the same tires again (and again in some cases based on mileage and how long those tires last).
After owning LR3/4 for about 13.5 years (with running LR4' stock contis on my LR3 as the replacement set for its OEM goodyears) and observing the tire' performance over the years (braking, cornering, wet/dry, summer/wintery/snowy conditions), and now running sets of TerrainContacts and WRG3, the stock conti was by far LR' worst tire choice for LR4.
In fact, during wintery conditions (wet/snow or dry), its downright dangerous to be driving a near 6000 lbs (with driver only) LR3/4 on those tires. And same goes for the goodyears that the LR3 came wearing. Have had narrow escapes with those on my LR3 during below freezing conditions. Of course at the time I didnt know what had caused that.
Not sure how LR' lawyers get away with all this.
...but dealer does what dealer does.
Dealer only cares about liability and simplifying things for themselves so they can say: "Really? Can't be the tires as this is the same brand/model tire that came from the factory on all LR4s."
