"What is the biggest tire I can go??? Has anyone been in the same situation, or seen pictures of LR3's with 20" stormers?"
You can go larger than what your looking at so far. I developed a tire size chart for 20 inch, 19 and 18 inch rims. I do recommend not exceeding 32 inches although some...
Johnson Rods Tire
Best off road tire period is the Good Year MTR with kevlar:

Sorry, here is the correct pic of the MTR with kevlar
Johnson Rod Tires
These are the tires I run. Good Year MTR 275-65-18 32 inch diameter. I believe these to be the best off road tire. For the LR4 I would try to get 18 inch rims from the UK if possible or go to 20 inch for more options.
Johnson Rods
Johnson Rods are the best way to gain lift and improve off road performance. Faults happen for many reasons but rod lifts have been proven to be effective with 1,000's sold and no problems. Take a look:

Each mode will be 2.5 inches higher and that includes the access mode. There are no issues with the extra height. 1,000's of vehicles have been modified this way. The main issue with the rubbing is the height and mostly in the rear. 31.5 will rub somewhat when the wheel articulates up...
Yes, I like the Good Year Silent Armor for an AT and the MTR for a more aggressive tire. The kevlar side wall adds stability and prevents pinch flats. I have a complete list of available tires here on my tire size chart page :

A French customer of mine made this funny youtube video of installing Johnson Rods while changing tires. Thought you guys may like it. Here is the link:

Excellent discussion. A few observations on my part. Unless you need extra clearance for the type of trials you frequent or larger tires, the rod mod is not necessary. I have done most difficult trails with stock vehicles and they get through with some extra care and a few...
Tire sizes
West Coast:
I compiled a list of the most popular tire sizes for 18, 19 and 20 inch rim sizes. Check out the chart and see what is best for you. Hope this helps.

The Pirelli Scorpion ATR is the only AT tire available with that rim size that I can find. There are some other SUV tires on the chart but going to the 18" rim is the best long term choice.

LR3 Tires
I don't recommend going to a 33" tire as its too big for the LR3. The 265/70/R18 is pushing it at 32.6 inches and will have some rubbing.

Yes, that will be next. I'll create a link to rate each tire and allow for comments. I captured the Nokian tires and will update the site every weekend as I collect more.
If anyone has more tire selections just let me know and I'll post them:

Thanks for that tire info.
I am trying to create and maintain a comprehensive listing of popular brands ans sizes. I see they have a 19 and 20 inch rim size.
I have to agree with the SilentArmors. A great tire on and off road. I just completed a new listing of available tires for 18, 19 and 20 inch rims. I use the MT/R with kevlar and they have been great. The noise is much less than other MTR's and more like some AT's that I have had. Check...

That was an excellent write-up on how to get to and fix the latch along with the technical bulletin. I like the extra cable as a backup! This will be very helpful for to a lot of people with this problem. Thanks!

I saw that same failure that umbertob referred to. A nasty break with no way to get the bolt out without a tap tool. Upgrading this would be a big benefit. Appreciate the info.
