Problems with 2005 Land Rover LR3 TIRES

Tires are wearing on the inside quickly. changed the tires already at 32,000 miles and almost need to change them again at 47,000. was told that the suspension was built wrong on the truck. landrover needs to fix this problems and get news tires. this is not normal. *tr

Improper camber setting and busing settlement/wear in rear suspension causing negative camber on rear wheels causing premature wear on insides of rear tires. *tr

I purchased my lr3 with brand new tires. the vehicle had 33k. i am now at 50 and have experienced wear and vibration for some time. the dealer stated they had never seen inside tire wear like mine before. since reading the blogs apparently this is a big problem. there is currently a class action law suit on this. i love my car but am not willing to drive it while unsafe. land rover should correct this issue as well as preserve their reputation. *tr

The tires are wearing excessively. the problem was corrected at 18,000 miles service interval with an alignment and reappeared at 30,000 service. the dealer suggest changing the tires more often. they can not explain the cause. *jb

The manufacturer's recommended tires (goodyear wrangler all weather m+s 255/55vr19) on landrover lr3 models are wearing prematurely by cupping and underlayment showing through on inside of tire tread where unevenly worn. mine did this at 25k miles, but i was lucky - after researching through various blogs i've found many needed all tires replaced even under 14k miles. this is a huge safety issue and i am currently working with my dealer to resolve my situation, but it should be made general knowledge to consumers - especially if it can prevent future accidents on the highways. please note that there are currently class action suits in michigan and california on this same issue. unsure if issue is just with lr3 models, or all of landrover vehicles. *jb

Tires were unevenly worn at the 7500 mi. check. the dealer replaced all four tires. the new tires were again worn by the 15,000 mi. check and they had been rotated in between the two periodic checks. this time, land rover said they would only replace two tires because of the mileage on the car. i explained that the tires only had 7500 mi. on them, but land rover said tires aren't covered as it was normal wear and tear. i told them there was nothing normal about replacing tires with this frequency and that the worn tires represented a symptom, not a problem. my own dealer was going to replace all four tires . we bought two lr3',within one year, but i wa sbegging them to identify the source of the issue before i started chewing up the third set. i am surprised this issue wasn't disclosed before i bought my car. i purchased a 2005 leftove" in the beginning of 2006, long after the tire issue was identified. i am also experiencing problems with hesitation on acceleration. it has been at the shop twice to have that problem corrected without success. i feel cheated. it wa s an expensive car and one that should not require this level of maintenance so early into ownership. *ak

Suspension drops and raises while driving. lights and alarms on dash. unable to drive car safely. took car to dealership and "front height sensors" replaced. car at dealership for 8 days. picked up car and drove for 2 weeks and noticed difficulty driving car, and a "tin can sound" under car. looked under car and found extreme inside wear on tires - especially rear tires where steel tread exposed. took car to a tire repair/replacement establishment and informed that "cambrs" were "out" and car very unsafe to drive. tires replaced with new tires. dealership did not inform customer of "extreme" inside wear on rear tires. this defect should have been repaired while the car was at the dealership for 8 days. family drove on steep mountain roads while these tires were worn and outcome could have been deadly. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated, when a flat tire was changed, the full size spare was larger than the original tire. the service dealer and the manufacturer were contacted.

Tire wear problem on all 4 tires. driver rear worn down to the belt upon inspection. vehicle has less than 16,000 miles on it. all other tires have unusual wear at this mileage. inside of all tires is gone. oem goodyears. *nm
