What do LR fit to the 17" rims on Freelanders now that Goodyear have stopped making the (excellent) earlier standard fit Wrangler tyres?
Are they as good? I found the Wranglers outstanding in the snow and more than happy on road with excellent wear. (Coming) 2016 RR Evoque td4 180 HSE Dynamc
(Going) 2013 TD4 GS Auto - Santorini Black with black leather. Cold Climate, UK Lighting & Armrest Packs. Privacy Glass. LR Rubber Mats. Full size spare.
60 000 miles averaging 35mpg

(Gone) 2010 TD4 Manual GS - Stornoway Grey. Sold at 3yrs old & 64k miles. Final average consumption 39.2mpg.

I had not heard that Wranglers were not available now. I had a pair of new ones on the rear of my Freelander, two weeks ago, and no one said anything. Outside i have a XS courtesy car, about 3 weeks old, that has 17" Wranglers. I agree with your remarks about snow and on road performance. Have you heard that Wranglers are finished, or just changing tread pattern?

I have the 16" Conti's fitted to all 4 corners. Had no issues with them for road use this winter, had over 6 inches of snow over the last week in my neck of the woods. Conti's have coped easily with that. I’d also say they’re relatively quite for wet & dry road use too.
Not had it off roading yet, then would prob have to change Conti's  Landy has now gone.

Do a Google search for Goodyear Wrangler HP All Weather and there are plenty of company's claiming to have them for sale.
Blackcircles are about £143 per tyre including fitting locally.
Also showing on the Goodyear website.

Tyres do seem to go in and out of availability. Last time I bought some Wranglers my local man had to ring several dealers to find them. (That was 2 years ago). He says the tyres are all imported and seem to come in batches, sometimes just once a year.
As a general comment, don't forget that if you have a spare wheel it may have a brand new tyre on it which may be coming to the end of its "life". I stayed with Wranglers precisely because I still had a brand new one on the spare and so only needed to buy three. No problem with keeping a worn, but legal, tyre on the spare which you may never use anyway!
