I was talking to my local friendly garage about tyres for the FL2.

More than likely he will get a better discount on stocked tyres, he will order in bulk and get a little sweetener for his trouble.

You didn't mention what tyre size you're using but, judging by the photo, it's probably 235/65 R17.

Even if you are planning on going properly off road, the standard M+S Continental Contacts or Goodyear Wranglers will do extremely well. I know! Infact, all of the Freelander 2's (and Range Rovers and Discos) used by LRE Centres use these standard issue tyres for their off road training.

Nothing wrong with Khumo's, I can highly recomend the AT KL78's as an all terrain/winter tyre, plenty of grip, silent & wareing well, over 11k miles in 3 years of winter driving (take them off for summer) and still looking nearly new . |
