My SE manual is on standard 235/65/17 Chinese tyres. I have found the speedo is pretty much spot (within 2%) on going by 3 different GPS systems, and those radar speed displays you get by the side of the road.
So unfortunately I will have to stick to the standard size, when I get some decent rubber for it.
I'll be fitting Yokohama Geolander 015, as they're a good all round tyre, and don't cost huge amounts either. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

Surprised about your experience of the Michelin latitude cross, have read very good reviews and thought they would do big miles. How long did yours last out of interest?

"How many miles should Michelin Latitude tires last?
Michelin backs this tire with a 65,000 mile tread guarantee, and has sizes available from 16-19 inches. Michelin has engineered a winner in the Latitude Tour for the most part. Not only is it one of the best performing tires in this class, but it is one of the safest truck/SUV all-season tires on the market today.11 Aug 2018"

We had Michelin Latitude Cross tyres on the wife's Fl2 and they were a great tyre , easily one of the longest lasting tyres we had on it , even a match for the General Grabber At's . Even after 25k they still looked like new .

correct me if im wrong,but if a tyre lasts a long time is the tread harder than a tyre that lasts not so long?therefore the softer compound will grip better. for example f1 tyres, at £141 roughly, michelin latitude seem expensive,and as someone previously said on here if we keep buying them the price will stay around that.

My daughter gets through Freelanders quicker than the tyres wear out, one seized engine, two rear axles and Haldex couplings, and a bevel box. Two sets of wheels and tyres from my stock. Not bad for 20k miles.
