Oh and can you also specify where you purchased them, tires, dimensions, and cost? Thanks! Allen

sorry to go off thread Allen, but is that true about replacing one tyre? That it'll make the all-wheel drive have a fit? |

It depends on the tread life of the other tires. If the tread is below a certain percentage, the height difference will cause issues. I heard that from the tire store and my dealership.

Different tread patterns maybe, but different tread depths? Surely not... That would imply that if your four tyres wore at different rates (almost definitely the case) then the drive train would always "have a fit".

I would check with LR before diving in and replacing all 4 tyres at once - I don't think it is necessary with the LR 4WD system to replace all 4 just the 2 on the same axle. There are some cars on the market that it essential to replace all 4 tyres at the same time - notably Volvo XC70 and XC90 suffer severe drive train wear if you don't replace all four tyres at the same time. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Crap. Looks like some haggling with the sales guy to replace the other front then! Think the previous owner must have been a little blind, as the alloys are . On the bright side, justifies a decent set of stormers (undecided over 20 or 22 though).

And just so you know Allen, shmoogle is referring to the ones on the RR, not the tow truck...

Yes, that owner likes his wheels so much he's chosen to never let them touch the ground

I spoke to a tire store, as well as my LR dealer and they both recommended the same. So since I'll have to shell out $800-$1000 for brand new tires, I may as well pay a few more and get new wheels as well. I think I'm going to get the Stormers. I have a contact that will sell them for $1300 shipped. And I'll probably get the tires from www.tirerack.com for about $1200 for BF Goodrich KWDs. With mounting and balancing, I'm looking at around $2700 total. Not bad huh?

So they both said to change all 4 tyes if you have a puncture in one? Sounds excessive |
