Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
Hey, thanks again for the help! I was able to also fit the tire in the spare slot at 10ish psi. Next, I want to see if I can reduce the size of the rubber stoppers above the tire. They're about an inch long, which seems overkill. Shortening that could reduce the risk of dragging the tire on... -

Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
I pulled the trigger on the E rated at4w last week. I had a last second invite for a Moab trip, so I got those and installed along with some proud rhino rock sliders. I only really went through fins and things, but it did marvelous there, the sliders didn't even touch anything. I'm waiting to... -

Oh hey it's you! I saw your post on KSL. I'd bite but I like the idea of keeping the wheel weight low to the ground. Do you know of a good way to make a swing out for traction boards and Jerry cans? I saw LR Time had one for traction boards but never could find how they did it. Thanks for the... -

This looks great! Thanks for sharing. Can you test this out at bump stops? I'm curious how close this is to the wheel well pushed all the way down given that the diameter is 31.7". If you have the GAP tool, you can deflate the air from there. Also, were you able to fit this tire in the spare... -

Thanks for the input. I'd consider the KO2 if the wet performance wasn't so bad. I don't want to wait for the KO3 unfortunately. Do you think the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 will do good on rocks? -

If you look at the image he posted, the XL is rated for 50 and the SL is rated for 51 -

I'm pretty sure they compare the weight rating vs the size to determine SL or XL. If you look at the XL 225/65R17, it's only 106T at 28.5" whereas the SL 265/70R17 is 115T at 31.7". I really wish the 265/65R18 E rated was 31.5" too. 31.7" is pushing it. By the way, Mickey Thompson has the Baja... -

Thanks @itsaguything, the tire calculator is pretty interesting. I want to maximize performance as much as possible. Rhino rods/air lift is unsafe. I considered the SYA kit but the 2" spacers need 2" of limit straps to protect the cv axles. I found some mentions of a heavy duty cv but couldn't... -

Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
Hey guys, I read through most of this thread, but I'm still struggling to choose tires. I have an '06 LR3 with the 18" wheels. I don't want to stress the suspension with rods or SYA lift. I also want to maintain full articulation. I think that leaves me at 31" diameter or less for tire size...
