Hi guys, to you all who have replaced your tyres on your FL2"S, quote size 16" 17" 18" or 19", tyre make, front or rear & mileage you got out of them. If I had all the money I spent on Beer!, I'd spend it on Beer!.

on my first fl2 s i done 19,000 miles and replaced the front,the back ones were fine still 4mm plus when i p/x her.they were conti on 16 inch alloys.i know the conti are a lot softer/wear quicker than thet goodyear wranglers which are on my new fl2 gse,so expecting a far bit more than the 19,000 mark.i have heard of guys on here getting 30,000 on wranglers would be very with that. Current: Freelander 2 GS, Orkney Grey, Factory fit privacy glass, design pack and Clearview pack.

Gone:Freelander 2, GS, "61"

Gone: Freelander 2, GS.e, "59"

Gone: Freelander 2, S, "08"

at 50.000 km changed my goodyear's (original) for wintertyres, depending tyrecenter they could still do 10.000 to 15.000 km more but I didn't use them anymore (tyre at 50% looses 75% of grip in rain...) after the winter I took new michelin latitude, so for the moment I have winter dunlop D3D done 25.000 km and still very good, and new summertyres done 4.000 km, so not possible how long they will do, will post next year, or maybe (hopefully) later...

o yes, I have 17 inch wheels. Fl2 zermattsilver TD4 S man

As I had a look at my 19" contis yesterday & after just 4k miles they are wearing out fast , just wanted to see what you guys get out of your tyres  If I had all the money I spent on Beer!, I'd spend it on Beer!.

you'll find conti's wear on the edge faster, mine looked bald on the edge, just on the near side front, the 2 garages i spoke too said it due to power steering and going round roundabouts fast...

As long as 75% of the flat surface is legal you should be fine.... so the garage said Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

MOT Tyre regulation states "75% of the centre section must be 1.6mm minimum tread depth throughout the circumference of tyre"
The worn edge is NOT allowed to be 25% of tyre.

The old regulation was " 75% of tyre a minimum of 1.6mm and visible tread on the remainder"

Under current regs tyre can actually be devoid of tread on inner and outer edges as long as centre area 75% is 1.6mm or above. All FL2's (3) Gone

The first set of tyres I had were pirelli scorpion zero [235/60R18]. They lasted for 45000KM. The second set are contis UHP which now have 40000Km on them and they can last for another 5000-7000Km.
Pirelli scorpion zero lost quite a bit of its tread, contis they have a lot of tread but small pieces coming off from the outer part of the tread now.

Changed mine today Goodyear Wranglers on standard 16" wheels. 3mm left all round, with some edge wear. 36000 miles. My local tyre man did me 3 new ones (I had a new one on the spare) for £130 each.

19" Conti's on mine. The look somewhat wasted, but still grab quite good. Roughly 20.000 km's on the clock. 2010 Freelander 2 Select TD4 auto....gone

Have 3 originals +1 replaced at 3000 miles due to puncture. They are Michelin Latitude 17"
Have now done 35500 miles rears are just below 3mm fronts slightly better (replaced tyre was front) so will replace early autumn.
I think the Michelins have been brilliant!

17 inch Contis replaced at 28000 miles for Goodyear Wrangler

18inch Wranglers on ours from new, 15000 miles, 6mm on the front 7 on the back. 8 when new...i'm quite happy with this!! Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
