Dang, you have been a loyal Land Rover guy for a long time. It's crazy to me that your dealer wouldn't have stepped up and replaced your tires even if the tire guy wouldn't. At least given you a deal on a new set???
The tire guy wouldn't even give you any type of credit to get new tires? That baffles me too...
I'm not going to say tires are cheap, but in perspective they are a consumable item and need to be replaced every so often any way. I guess if this was your only issue with your LR4, I might suggest getting new ones on your own dime. I understand there is a principle here, and based on your narative it is not your only issue.
As for the brakes, I'm a little concerned about the warping and life of the pads. You are not the first to complain about how quickly they wear out, but I think you might be the first to mention warped rotors. I'm not sure where you are, but maybe it is partialy due to the climate you are in.
As for me, I have not had any brake or tire issues with my LR4. I have the Conti's, and they have never let me down yet. As I mentioned earlier, I won't buy the tires as a replacement only because I need a more aggresive tire. For the street, I have found them more than accepetable. No flat spots over night, good wear, good traction and very quiet and have a good ride. I have just under 10k on mine and I haven't even rotated them yet as they are wearing even from tire to tire.
Not to hijack the thread, but how many times have you called Land Rover corperate over the years? Have they ever done anything positive for you? Just curious as I have never had to call headquarters for any of the new cars I have purchased in the last 18 years.
Thanks and good luck,
Rob
