Hey all,
So I will need to replace my tires on the LR4 at some point. Have been reading countless threads on this and I am aware of the load rating issues, limited options in that size, etc. I know about the compomotive wheel route but not ready to go that route yet. The 55 profile is a little low for my tastes and the ride is firm/borderline harsh, especially in this pothole-filled city. I was thinking of getting 255 60 19s, for an extra inch in rolling diameter and some more sidewall. When limiting it to an XL load rating, there are a couple tire choices in this size that are pretty interesting:
Nokian EnTyre 2.0 - ~$180-190 a tire
Pirelli Scorpion Verde - really expensive, ~240+ a tire
Nitto NT421Q - ~$180 a tire
Costco sells a couple of Michelin models in that size but those are 109 load rated. Is 109 acceptable in a pinch? I am reading passionate opinions both ways.
My question is, has anyone run both wider and taller tires on the lr4 on the stock 19 inchers without any rubbing? If so, what's the largest size that would fit? I like the stock rims just fine but I would love to run 31 or 31.5inch tires if possible. Chime in with any thoughts. Thanks!
