Looking to trade my 18 inch LR3 wheels wrapped in Toyo Open Country HT (Very mild AT tire really a street tire) 75% tread. For 19 inch wheels and tires. Preferably with the same amount of tread and preferably an AT tire. Im located in Memphis but will drive a little bit or possibly consider shipping them as long as the other person is willing to pay their end of the shipping as well.

 

Someone who wants your 18's and has 19's is going to shoot me over this, but why?

Dude, 18's are the holy grail of rims for an LR3, you are going the wrong way.

 

Can you explain this to me? what's the pros/cons of 18s vs 19s?

 

If you plan on offloading your 3, there are a very limited selection of A/T and M/T tires available in the 19" size.

In addition its always better to have more rubber and less metal for that set up, when off roading.

My Father has 19's on his 3, does not offroad and he likes the feel of 18's with more rubber over his set up.

 

I just made the switch from 19s to 18s since I needed tires. I am very happy that I made the change and I put slightly larger tires on the 18s which look great and perform great.

 

The very first thing I did to my LR3 was trade the 19s for some 18s on another rig on the lot.

 

I'm in NS and have 19's on my 2009. While I really like the look of the ones they fitted to the 2009 model year, Ive been trying to find a set of 18's since I got the LR3 and its like trying to find unicorn manure here, so if someone wanted to trade their 18's I would bite their arm off!!!

For choice of a 19 AT or even a MT you have a choice of Dura Tracs (great tire but $) Cooper Zeons, not really a fan of those and well that's about it! I've found Goodyear AT Adventure + Kevlar - mucho $$$$$$, but very good in a 255 60 19 profile - so not exactly a great range of options. I have found the Atturo Trail Blade MTs and Kumho Road Venture AT, but neither have great reviews.

 

 

 

Are these still available? I'm interested in Nashville.
