Coincidentally just viewed a set of Maxxis on a D4 today!
Owner wasn't around so couldn't discuss.
Would be very keen to fit them as they are LT, but the reported noise puts me off as at least 90% of my driving is bitumen.
That's the only reason I'd go for Hankook or Toyo as by all accounts they are quieter and possibly perform as well (?) on dirt roads.
And a degree cheaper than many others.
My son had the latest Pirelli's on his D3 and they were very impressive, I could have been tempted.
But oh, the cost of them.........
Having said that, there is a saying.. " that the quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten"
I wonder if it applies to the more expensive tyres?

Yeah what do yanks know about tyres.

Hankook has recently upgraded the RF10 ATM to RF11 AT2.
So far I have been more than happy with the RF10’s, mostly highway and towing, with a bit of mild to moderate dirt gravel and off road work.

According to Hankook website, not available for 19"
Here we go again..........20" must be more popular/common than 19" !

Yes,19" is one of the worst sizes to look for tyres,don't know why LR stick with such a silly size.
No other manufacturer that builds off road vehicles uses the size.

You would have to wonder WTF they were thinking....[bighmmm]
One of the reasons i bought the very last of the 2.7L D4 was to be able to get a tyre i wanted,and i did run 17's for a while.

Brakes is why. Though you can fit 18s.

That and LR vehicles are bought by most people for luxury city and highway driving.
