Might be worth noting here that the Wrangler is being discontinued by GoodYear so anybody looking to replace one or more in the next few months may want to think about doing it sooner rather than later

All I can say is that when hunting around for replacements for my wife's FL2 Kwik-Fit et al said they were being discontinued - so I'm not sure if that's the whole range or just certain sizes

I was in the local dealers yesterday and couldn't help noticing that GoodYear Wranglers are still being fitted to MY2013 FL2s. Not sure that Land Rover would still be fitting them as standard if they were about to be discontinued?

Re my comments about the Wrangler being discontinued (as advised by my local KWIK-FIT) the ‘replacement’’s the EfficientGrip. Having checked the GoodYear website however it looks like both are available for the FL2, Looks like the main difference is the amount of grip in the wet and the dry.

Hi IanH. I think the most significant difference is that the HP is an 'All Weather' tyre. That's the one I would go for.
