Camskill will deliver to your door for £125 for the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros, managed to twist my local tyre shop to balance & fit for £52. So £550 all in, cheapest I can get.....

I feel your pain, i need 4 new tyres too....just not sure which make/model to go with and i need to make up my mind soon!

Was thinking of Continental Cross Contact, but people have said they wear fast....so i just dont know really

Just changed my Continental 4x4 Contact at 25000 miles down to below 3mm all round.

eeeewww, 25,000 miles is not very far! year and a half....

Anyone know of a longer lasting make? or does performance suffer?

I was thinking of the 80/20 onroad/off road as i will never really go off road, but its nice to know it can cope if needs be!

Too many choices!!!

Goodyear Wrangler HP AW tend to last longer than the equivalent Continentals.
Continental 4x4 Contacts are 80/20 road/off road and are classed as an All Weather tyre.
Agree 25000 is not great but went with them again as I could get away with buying 3 and using my full sized spare and keeping the best of the old ones as the spare. Also had to change slightly early as I was going to Austria and you need a minimum of 4mm tread on all weather tyres in the winter.

I have a few sets of (four) Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme 235/65x17 available at £432.00 inc VAT fitted.

Happy to quote on all other tyre sizes.  Andy.

My Pirellis have done 33k so far. The fronts weren't swapped at the last service, if they were I could prob get another 5k out of them. All in all a great tyre for the car. IMHO, stick with the tyres that the manufactuer sticks on them.... 2010MY Freelander 2 HSE Auto

My last Audi only used to do around 18,000 miles on a set of front tyres! MY FL2 has done about 19,700 miles now and the tyres still look like they have a few thousand miles left.

As another option, if you have a local dealer/garage who will fit them, it may be worth having a look at http://www.mytyres.co.uk/

£129 each for Goodyear Wrangler HPs..

Picked up a set of 4 around October last year - quick shipping, good service, no issues whatsoever.

Just replaced my original Continentals at 26k. Had about 3mm left on them but had a nail in one of them which was not repairable so decided to change all four. Had intended putting General Grabber UHPs on as I had used on my Touareg, but decided in the end to try Nexen Roadian HP's. I'm on 236x65x17 and they are 108V M+S Extra load with what appears better rim protection. Total cost including fitting at home, disposal of old tyres, balance and new valve; £353.32. Fitted by Event Tyres. I have no connection with them other than using in the past and finding their service excellent.

Good price there Dicky, and all done at home.

Just did the on line quote for mine price come in at £609.36 but that was for the 235/60R18 103V PIRELLI SCORPION ZERO Let me try in on a set of Nexen Roadian HP's ......................

That's a lot of difference £393.36 for a set of Nexen Roadian HP's

Had a set of PIRELLI SCORPION ZERO fitted on Tuesday cost me £589 with balance and valves  BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders
