Default I need 4 new tires for LR3

Hello,
I could use some advice about getting four new tires for my LR3 SE 2006. I am looking at the General Tire Grabber AT II. Tire rack has them for $179 each. Anyone know of a better place?

Thanks!
-Casey

I put a set of 255/60/18s on the 2004 D2 in October of 2007 and I like 'em. They've held up very well and work well in the mud and sand down here in S. Florida. I'll be ordering a set for the wife's LR3 next month. Oh yeah, I bought them from Tire Rack and 179.00 per tire is about as good a price as you're going to find for that tire.... Good luck!

Good to both questions. The road noise is minimal and much less than the crapyear tires that come on the LR3s.

I have them on my Disco... they have worked out great here in the sandy clay of NC. Very low tire noise in comparison to the BFG's I used to have which is surprising because they look like a very similar pattern to me.

Did you get the 255/55/18 or 255/60/18? I used the 60 on my DII and they really work well. I was surprised at how quiet they are too. Also, speedo is only off a couple mph due to the taller tire.

They are working very well on my LR3. They are great in the snow! No increase in road noise either.

Glad to hear it! If you get a chance post some pics. I'd like to see how they look on an LR3

This how they look on the DII
