Buying New Tires - LR3 - Need Advice

[shedward]

OK - I have a 2008 LR3 SE (less than 15K miles) with the 19" HSE rims and I'm doing my research on tires now as I'll be buying in the Spring (March/April). I'd like to hear from the LR peeps about what people are looking at, buying, hating, loving, using, etc. I do off-roading but usually keep it to dirty double track trails with some light over-rocking, creek fording, steep ascent and descents, etc - nothing too knarly.

If you can help me out - here's what I need from you on tires:

Brand you are currently using
Size
Price
Miles on tires
Overall opinion
Tire noise on highway
Place of purchase (website, brick & mortar, etc)
Place of install

Thanks in advance - this will be super helpful not just for me but anybody looking to buy new tires.

I don't think you have many options in the 19" wheels. Most people on here seem to go with the 18s, especially if they are off-roading. Anyway, here are your options:

There is a ton of information on this board about individual tires.

Certainly no need for yet another thread on tires....

I'll second that! Use of the search function is best.

DUDE! search the forum before you post new threads... there's like 40 threads in detail on this subject....

Same goes to all you other lazy thread makers... search first, then ask..
