Tires for 2004 Discovery general use
Hello All
purchased a 2004 discovery 8 months ago and having steering wobble problem. dealer said that tires are warped/cupped. he recommended HTR SPORT H/R 255/55R18 109H by Sumitomo.
they will charge approx $900 to install and balance/align.
anyone have any views on this tire or recommend better tires for general use city/highway?

What kind of tires came on your Disco? GY Wranglers, by chance? I've got an '04 as well with Wranglers on it and they're cupping. The garage I have service my truck tells me it's a common problem with the Wranglers on a Disco.
Please post what you decide on and then update us on how they do!

The 255/55/18 is a bad size to use on the Disco. The suspension of the Disco is already Stiff from the factory. Adding low profile tires, only makes it worse. I would recommend buying 265/60/18. It will fill the tirewell nicely even at factory height and will ride much more comfortable. The Goodyear Silent Armors have been very good tires to me, on every type of terrain. That is what I'm putting on my Disco II.
