What is the BEST wheel size/tire dimensions combination for All-Terrain use in the 2006 LR3?
Nope, it’s not quantifiable in terms of off road abuse resistance, which has been my point this whole conversation. It is only quantifiable in terms of how much weight the sidewall will bear. That is very different. I’m sorry I grouped your MT/Rs in with the garbage that has failed me. If... -

What is the BEST wheel size/tire dimensions combination for All-Terrain use in the 2006 LR3?
LOL, my specs don’t align with yours, that’s the issue. No, my experience with Goodyear is proof that load range has no bearing on sidewall strength. Zip, zero, nada. I was running load range E Goodyears. It’s fine if your more comfortable with an E rated tire. It’s just not necessary and... -

What is the BEST wheel size/tire dimensions combination for All-Terrain use in the 2006 LR3?
Ah, you are one of those that insists on E rated tires. I’ll have to look into those if they’re C rated and mine ever wear out. At this point they don’t look like they’re going to. -

What is the BEST wheel size/tire dimensions combination for All-Terrain use in the 2006 LR3?
Are the MT/R’s still made? I thought they were discontinued. I’ve run two different types of Wranglers (not MT/R) and ripped 3 sidewalls in about 2 months. Many people recommend DuraTracs and I’ve had trouble on my 3 and also trucks at work. -

What is the BEST wheel size/tire dimensions combination for All-Terrain use in the 2006 LR3?
BEST is pretty relative. My best is probably not your best. I personally went with as tall as I could and not get stuck if I get a fault that puts me in the bumps stops. I currently run 265/70/18 Cooper S/T Maxx and I can’t speak enough good things about them. They currently have 44k miles on... -

Oversize tires for 2020 Defender
Width is often overlooked in the “what will fit” conversation and it’s critical. People focus on diameter and tend to go wider as they go taller. In the LR3 world I’ve had lots of people say 33” is too big, “it’ll rub like crazy”, but they tried 275 or 285’s. I run 265’s and don’t rub at all.- m_lars

Opinions on 05 Discovery 3
Is it the consensus that the 4 is better? From casual scanning of the “this week’s popular topics” emails, it seems they have more serious engine issues than the 3. I’ve never really dug into it because I’m not in the market for one, but I’m always thinking about what I should get next. They are...- m_lars

5x120 Trailer Hubs! Where can I get them?
Yeah, I probably could have cleared the bearing cover that way, but the center bore of the wheel is smaller than my trailer hub diameter. Also, I didn’t want to modify 18” LR3 wheels in case I ever want to sell them. -

5x120 Trailer Hubs! Where can I get them?
Edit... I just saw a quoted a 3 year old post. What did you end up doing to fit the wheels? It wouldn’t matter even if you could swap them, the LR wheel won’t fit over the hub of the trailer axle. You’ll have to have a adapter/spacer that is the depth of your hub and cap, unless you modify... -

Looking for a 19" off road tire.
Just DOT compliance, which pretty much is a non-issue on a passenger vehicle. -

265/65r18 Mud Terrain / MT tires doesn’t exist??
I think you lost your articulation when you converted to coils! I run the EAS and always will, so I’m not answering your question exactly, but I’ve run 275/65/18 Duratracs and currently 265/70/18 Cooper S/T Maxx. The 275’s had very slight rubbing on the drivers inner fender/bumper junction that... -

Looking for a 19" off road tire.
They definitely need something in the sidewall department, they cut like paper! Don’t believe the hype that a higher rated tire gets you a tougher sidewall. I ran 275/65/18 Duratracs with an E load rating, I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone due to poor sidewalls. -

Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?
Ground clearance is helpful in deep snow and I’m always on the road before the plows. -

Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?
I can’t say enough good things about the Cooper S/T Maxx. Tread life has been amazing on a vehicle notorious for going through tires, they have reasonable road noise and most important to me the sidewalls are very tough. I have scrubbed them off so many rocks and have zero damage. They are also... -

Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?
Perhaps, but it doesn’t matter at all as I will never run stock sized tires on it. I know when I switched it wasn’t a big enough difference for me to regret the change. It’s still a heavy vehicle with average (below average now) horsepower. If I want to zip around I’ll drive my wife’s Mini, my... -

Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?
Yeah, I’m going to disagree with the real world application of this. I’m not sure why you took the cheap shot about only being worried about looks, I hope that wasn’t meant for me. I live at 5600 ft, work at 7200 ft and go ‘wheeling regularly near 10,000 ft. I wish I could have gone bigger than... -

Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?
I guess mine is magic. Diameter is not the only determining factor. If I ran a 275 or 285 with the same overall diameter I’m sure I’d have problems, that’s why I went tall and (relatively) skinny. -

Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?
Was that for me? It turns fine, biggest clearance issue is the pinch seam in the rear wheel wells. I didn’t need to remove the bolt on frame horns either. -

Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?
I run 265/70/18 Cooper S/T Maxx and I can still move on the bump stops. Cooper says they are 32.87” overall diameter. I had to flatten the pinch seam and it rubs the liner in the rear, but it will still drive. -

I don’t doubt it, I feel like you think I’m disagreeing with you. I do see value in these vehicles in the innovation aspect of them. The by the way comment of mine you quoted was referring to the NEED to have SEVERAL Jerry cans of gas to explore southern Utah, which you don’t. Recommended... -

Funny you should mention southern Utah along with the rivian. Monday night I was having a supper at the restaurant my wife manages and had a conversation with our server about my Land Rover. He was a former Jeep guy and his significant other has a GX that he had just started working on. Anyway...
