Time to get new tires for LR4
I need new tires...actually, I found out the hard way in the last ice storm that I really should ave listened to mechanic in October when he said "you'll need new tires very soon. YOu may get through this winter...but I'd consider getting them before winter."
I looked for threads on LR4 tires, but didn't see any. Or rather, saw a lot of threads, but only 1 for LR4s with 1 answer, and it was about a lift....
So, what is everyone putting on their LR4? I currently have 19" Michelin Latitudes which were on it when I bought it used, so not sure if those are "stock" or not.
We live on a 1/2mi long gravel driveway, and in an area with narrow roads, hairy turns, that floods pretty often and gets a good bit of snow/ice in the winter.
Any suggestions?
Our garage:
2014 Audi RS5
2011 LR4
2004 Discovery II
2001 Range Rover P38 (selling this one soon...)

If you get quite a bit of snow in the winter then the obvious solution is to run two sets of wheels/tires (one a dedicated winter set) which can be quite pricey for the LR4. That being said if you are going to run one set my favourite by far for primarily on-pavement work is the Michelin Premier LTX.
If you want to skew more towards better snow/ice performance you could check out the Nokian WR. The problem with these is that they are less than ideal for the other 10 months of the year .(loud and rough and don't provide the ride anywhere near the Michelins)
