New Tires GL550 "LIONHARTS"
I needed to get new tires, Went to my Local dealer, He said he has been selling these at a great price, $230.00 per tire better than $550 each...
Pulled the trigger on them so far very nice tires, great grip and turning !!!

It's always been the high price of the 21" tires that kept me away from considering the 21" rims.
This makes it more enticing now.
Thanks for sharing.

I will need tires soon and the $400-500 price is not too enticing.
Keep us posted on the ride and quality of the tires, thus might help folks here to consider them.

So far so good, Here in Los Angeles a storm passed thru, heavy rain with some hail, Tires worked fine, gripped good, no hydroplatting at all.....

Lionhart are a Chinese brand and Toyo have filed suit against them in the past for ripping off their designs:

I can't imagine putting Chinese tires on a vehicle, but you guys do what you want.

My co worker is now due for tires for his GL550, I went to 20" wheels but he wants to stay with the 21".
