Default 19 inch Michelin Defender LTX

So, I ordered the D110 with 19 inch alloy, had the alloy size on LR3 and found very utilitarian. So, I was a bit apprehensive of the Goodyear off road rubber, and after delivery, yes good tire overall off road but at highway speed HORRIBLE noise.

Solution: Michelin Defender LTX M/S

255/60/19

WOW, fantastic improvement in NOISE and handling.

This will be a general all season tire, technically only mild off road.

I will use the Goodyear for trail....

Great tire. Quiet, excellent rain traction and durable. Running the Defender LTX in 20" on my LR4 in summer and in 18" on our Honda Passport as well.

Did you get the OEM wrap? If so how long did they say it lasts? Did they do the door jams as well?

Full factory wrap, estimates with proper (conditioning) 7-10 years, no the jams are not wraped
