Thread: D3 Tyre wear

On our third set of tyres, Goodyear originals lasted 24,000, Cooper HT plus 30,000, General grabbers 32,000 still going however now showing signs of wear.

Thanks.

I got terrible mileage out of the Goodyears too, absolute rubbish and so have replaced them with Cooper HT's. These have a 60,000km guarantee, but I see you only got 30,000kms from yours. Did you get a pro rata refund? I suspect you should up your tyre pressures as 34 is a bit low. I have heard that the LR recommended pressures are deliberately low to improve ride quality so I run mine at 40psi. I've only just put the Coopers on so can't comment on how long they'll last, but would be interested to hear about your thoughts on them.

At 40 psi I found the cooper Ht+s to be too hard, Stick to the LR figures or just above. I run 35 front 38 rear.

If you were dealing with Canberra, that may be your problem.

I have heard terrible stories about service problems with the old dealership. Hopefully, the new one (Lennocks?) will be a lot better.
