Off Road Tire/wheel recommendation....

I am trying to get of the Wrangler HPs, and I think a good sub for them may be the Pirelli's as stated above in my last post. No rim I have seen would support the 275/65/18's... I would not dare to cram them onto the 255/60/18's either!

Hey TZUCC, if you want to swap the 19s for some factory 18s let me know.

so I have decided to go with 255/55/19 Goodyear MTR's. If you have the HSE this is probably the best option for the 19" wheel. The other good option being the Synchrone.
From what I understand the 255/55/19 was designed specifically for the Range Rover G4 trials, but it should fit the LR3 HSE fine.

Where did you find the 255/55/19 Goodyear MTR's?

 

[tzucc]

it's not easy! They don't seem to distibrute them in the USA. In the UK and other parts of world they are available. I am going in on a group buy with someone in another forum who's bringing some over from the UK. I'll send you a PM with his email address.

p.s. I also placed an order online with some UK giant tyre vendor, so we'll see what happens. I am sure I can dispose of the extra 5 should I get all ten tires.

You can order the MTR'S from bronco 4x4, but they are expensive

I ordered with topgear.co.uk ... much cheaper than bronco4x4, but still not cheap.

I know this is being greedy, but if anyone finds this tire for an 18 inch wheel please post it...
