    Tire options for LR3 SE, 18" rims

    First impressions Goodyear SilentArmor tires Installed the 265/60R18's yesterday and what a HUGE differance compaired to the HP's 1. They look great ! 2. Very quiet for a M&S rated tire ... IMHO close to new HP's, my rear two were cupped (surprise, surprise ) so it was quite...

    Tire options for LR3 SE, 18" rims

    Sorry nwoods, in rereading my post I see it wasn't clear that I am replacing the OEM 19" rims with LR 5 spoke 18" 8J rims :-), because I'm begining to believe that serious on/off road tires in 19" are a pipe dream (at least in the USA) and I'm thinking that by using one of my stock HP 19's 30"...

    Tire options for LR3 SE, 18" rims

    Thanks nwoods for the info and I see your point on the dia..... I guess I'm just being stubborn on keeping close to the 30" dia on the 19" HP's so I can use one of them as a full size spare :-) or maybe I'm doing the P in the wind thing ? LOL John

    Tire options for LR3 SE, 18" rims

    As of this week they are in production and are filling backorders, or so I'm told by customer service and local GY service store. At any rate the 18's will give me more options ;-) I'll let you know how I make out. Cheers John

    Tire options for LR3 SE, 18" rims

    I've gotten tired of waiting for 19" MTR's so it's 18" rims on order and I'm leaning towards GY Wrangler Silent Armor P265/60R18 @ 30.5"dia and ~.5" wider than stock 19 HP's and using one of the 19"s for a full size spare , or must I go with 5 18's ??? Montrose CO bound , John

    Tire Shop unable to do alignment?

    Roverman, I'm not sure what it means, I just copied what was on the TB, but my SWAG would be that IDS refers to onboard diagnostic settings. The revision also states that "this simple IDS process replaces and eliminates the requirement to perform a suspension calibration (1.1 hrs) in...

    Tire Shop unable to do alignment?

    Roverman when did you have the alignment done ? there is a revision to the align procedures and target toe settings as of 03 Oct 2006 (TB LA204-005 ), part of which states "all vehicles equipped with EAS sent for sublet MUST have been placed in "tight tolerance" geometry setting mode prior to...

    Alignment Spec

    I do believe that there is a TSB dated early Oct 06 that changes the front/rear toe specs to improve tire wear issues, but lost the copy my dealer gave me after I had my alignment done at a Goodyear store. The TSB stated that all adjustments must be done with a full tank of fuel and...
