The reason I found the thread was that I am in the process of making my ‘12 LR4 more of an ‘adventure’ ride in its post daily driver role and tires are one if the first items to deal with. I had pretty much decided to stay with the 19s and go with the Cooper’s next tire change but then found a set of (5) 18” LR3 wheels locally. So now I am headed down that path with spacers etc... I’ll hold onto to the 19s for now - maybe use them as winter snow tires.

I went the 18" route with rhino lift. Tbh, you're fine with the 19"s. Go with continental. If you want the off-road look, Go with the duratracs. Loss in in mpg is not really worth the small extra bit of ability gained by going with 18"s and spacers.
If you still are hell bent on going with 18"s, get a lift and stay away from spacers. too much strain on the power train and parasitic loss of of hp. Give me a holler if your ever in so-cal.
FYI, better to start a new thread next time. welcome to off-roading world.

Yea, there are plenty of threads around on the 18/19 LR4 choice, particularly on LRWorld and we don’t have to keep this going. Just happened to come across it, didn’t note the date and commented trying to help - bytes are cheap.
Can’t say I agree with you in regard to not going with the 18”s over the 19s tho. I believe there is a lot to be said in terms of the better tire choices and associated sidewall properties with the 18s. Am also not as down on spacers as you but that’s another debate altogether. Also not a real fan of a lift.
A lot of personal preference in all of this. Appreciate the different views. Thx

I have the 255/60/19 Goodyear Wrangler w/Kevlar on my LR3 and just did a 3k mile trip to Utah with them. Was pleased with their performance off road (250+ miles). ere they as good as the KO2’s on the other LR3? No, but I got through everything it did without issue. I understand their sidewalls are not the strongest and was paying particular attention to tire placement but zero problems. They have great road manners also.
I am running these tires in stock size with my 19 inch wheels
