2011 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Baltic Blue

Mine came with Continental 4x4 Contacts which seem OK - quite quiet on the road and handled a brief excursion on snow in Switzerland without too many problems. However picked up a nail in one last week and having a nightmare finding a replacement. Thought I had one from Value Tyres at £133 but when I went to get it fitted they'd sent the wrong one.

Had Goodyear Wrangler on my Discovery II which did over 30000 miles before needing replacement. Also my spare is a Goodyear Wrangler and I'm still undecided as to which is the better between Goodyear and Continental.

Nokian make WR line fot SUVs-very comfortable ride, also Michelins Latitude seem a good choice.

Both these tires will give you comfotarble ride on paved roads.

Just jkeep in mind that, if OEM tires were V-rated, the replcement shoul be V-rated too.

Also need to check the load rating.

My Continentals are 108 while most 235/65/17's seem to be 104.

Interesting. I have Goodyear Wranglers on mine (from new) and at 18500 miles I am getting ready to replace them. I don't tow, but I doubt if they'll make it to 20k. I didn't think I was that hard a driver!!
