Yes more on tires I know. I'm currently running LT 275/65/18 BFG k02s. I'm not real happy with the ride and road noise. I ditched my air ride after way to many problems and to much money spent. I put in the heavy duty Oldman EMU coil spring conversion with the 2 in lift.
I am extremely happy with the results. I'm not one who rock crawls or any heavy fourwheeling. Moderate trails and a little advanced trails for me. Moab was a breeze for the new coils on the moderate trails. Good clearance, no rubbing... I was expecting some. I will admit that I miss the automatic leveling.
A little about my LR3,
2006 SE.
Non locking
155000 miles.
Recent work,
New maf
New plugs
BG 44 flush
Replaced lower steering shafts
Two sets of off road lights
Nerf bars rather than running boards
The engine is running very strong.
So back to the tires. I really want to try a 285/65/18 Cooper discover sst pro. It looks like it has enough clearance. I checked with cooper and they said they will be OK on my 8 in rim width. I want a quieter tire with good off road capabilities. I've read good things on this tire. I'm just wondering on if I will now get some rubbing. I can live with some off road rubbing during heavy articulation, but nothing else. Any one have any experience with this tire or tire size?
