England 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Baltic Blue

Slightly off topic but the LR guide to approved tyres is available on Topix.

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e S Manual Stornoway Grey

Ah, must admit in my naivety never thought of that, probably explains why no one bid and the seller seems reluctant to communicate.... might just pass them by. IF they are c/feit they look damn good ones and I imagine Michelin and ebay would be on the look out for such scams? having had a bad experience with a fake Rado watch (that was tackled by Rado themselves and the seller ended up in court) and some fake Louis Vouton shoes (at least that seller didn't argue) from fleabay in past couple of years should have twigged. eh tu?

Did you pay by PayPal? I reckon if the tyres are fake you would be able to get your money back through PayPal. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Hi If size is OK, check speed and load rating. if they are ok, then go for it. If speed/load ratings differ from OE tyres,you may have an issue with insurance in the event of a claim apart from being dangerous if under.

This is getting confusing, according to mytyres this tyre is not a 4x4 tyre but another website says they are. A clip of Michelin promo film mentions 750kg load rating and uses a Golf. Michelin UK does not even list the tyre and the photos the vendor has sent show the word 'Canada' where the weight rating is shown at 900kg's.......which fits with most reviews which seem to be from north america. Think I will pass on these but I need some tyres urgently! eh tu?

Tyres bought and fitted, car looks much better on 17" rims! Now down to 2 remaining 16" wheels with tyres (see my advert in sale/wanted). eh tu?
