Greaatings. I bought a used Landrover couple of weeks back and now as i have got the title I want to change the tires. Please note I am a new bee (1st SUV ).

PLEASE GUIDE ME WHICH TIRE SHOULD I GO FOR:

I have tried almost 10 stores in my area and the only options i am left is with is :
1. Kumho road Venture APT KL51 - $820 Out of the door with RH and 60K miles warranty http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....nture+APT+KL51
2. Firestone Destination ST - $800 Out of the door and 40 k warranty. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Destination+ST

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Reqs:
NO offroad- some of you may say then its wasting vehicle but its my dream come true )
Quiet and comfortable ride.
Longer tread life
A mix of city 70% and highway 30%
Central IL - so we do see on average 7 inches of snow in winter.

 

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Kumho vs Firestone???

 

Not sure if you can get Toyo tires but I replaced the original Goodyear tires on my 05 LR3 with Toyo Open Country. They are terrific! Very quiet and great in the snow. Had them 2 years so far and no problems.

 

Thanks CTRover.. I cheked these online and they look good (i literally mean it vs kumho ). Unfortunately, I am not getting much options in my area (Kumho/firestone/hankook) and out of these I am intended towards picking up Kumho's. I will keep this thread updated on my experience with them
