Wrangler HP All Seasons lasted 30k miles with them all between 3mm and 4mm when changed. I'm quite happy with that. Replaced them with the same tyre and this set has done 7k miles and used just over 1mm of tread so should be about the same.

This is an interesting topic being a new FL2 owner. Mine is on what I think are its first set of tyres still, Pirrelli Scorpians. They have 3mm of even tread left on all four tyres and I'm wondering how much more to get from them, especially as it's Summer and tread is not as important! They have done 27000 miles to date. Your comments on noise of tyres as they get low of tread and when you suggest I change them are appreciated?

I used the EU tyre specs ratings label to get the best for wear, noise and fuel and ended up with the scorpion verde's (rated B &C). I have yet to see a tyre rated A for anything in a 17inch size

Ok not a Freelander but the car I swapped it for - Ford Kuga with 'intelligent' AWD.

I got 44K on the original Pirelli Scorpion tyres that came with the car. Every year I had the tyres switched round fronts to back or flipped. Unlike most tyres the Scorpions are uni-directional. The switching I learnt from my Rover 75 that ate front tyres

Back in the old days when I had a company Ford Granada which generally cruised on motorways all the time, I had a call from my transport manager saying that they were confused that something was wrong with their record system because my car had apparently any never had tyres replaced and was nearly on 70k miles. It had gone in for a service and they called the garage to check the condition and although still legal put four new tyres on. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Mine Wranglers went at 25K. Remember you need to move them front to back (same side) every 10K or so as uneven wear is the death of your 4 WD drive line and saving 2 pence on any tyre wear is not worth attempting IMO. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

22,000 miles from new on Conti Cross Contact and still 5mm left all around (ie half worn, assuming you change at 2mm).
