does anyone know is freelander 2's wear tyres evenly or are harder on front or rear tyres?
My '07 GS has 5mm on the fronts and 3mm on the rear and was wondering if I should swap them over?

Cheers

My have gone through fronts quicker Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

70% of the braking force of a car reacts on the front wheels, when turning a corner, it's the front wheels that are under most stress, when accelerating, the front wheels, even on a 4 wheel drive, that power the car more than the rear, therefore front will get more wear.

Maybe you drive in reverse a lot!

i just took as set of 4 Pirelli Scorpion Zeros off after 16k. Each one had exactly 4 mil across the tyre. Got to be the most even wear I have ever had on any car The missus - SD4 HSE - Black - 2012
Me - BMW 330d Saloon - Black - 2011

Mine have worn resonably evenly front to back, but they have worn more on the outside than the inside of each tyre.

Stafford LR told me they swap the tyres round at service (I assume front to back) to try and maintain an even tyre wear. I don't know if this is a standard LR policy.

Manual td4 - fronts got to 33k still have original rears at 43k (will need replaced soon as around 2.5mm). Fronts wore a little more on the outer edge. Continentals - been good in snow and were fine off road too.

Forgot to say - tyre rotation should be side to side - not fron to rear - at least for my year model Grumpy

I am already on my 3rd tyre set (60,000 miles). First set was Pirelli scorpion, the second set was conti UHP. Both sets were worn more on the back. I don't know if the behavior of the petrol model is different since it is way faster than the diesel one.
LR dealer advice is to swap the tyres from to back, never diagonally.

Anybody using AT tyres? Pls let me know about your experiences!

At 29000 miles the Wranglers on mine had worn 1mm more on the rears than the fronts but were the same right across the width on each tyre. Part of the service schedule is to swap tyres on the same axle. Remember there are never problems, just new challenges

14,400 miles and just under 6mm on front and 7mm on rear. It's the way Miss Daisy drives it.

My rear tyres wear more quickly than the front (Wranglers) and I don't drive hard round corners. Rears did 35K and front did 39K before changing. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE auto Tonga Green/Alpaca

GY Wrangler AT?! Ok, are they multi-purpose, I mean for all the year?
My ContiCross Contact AT were multi-purpose and kept up 30.000 km / only 1 year.
Tread worned very from 2mm to 5mm.
Very good on terrain but the lifetime of this tyres is very low!!!
Usage 60% tarmac 30% terrain and 10% bad roads.

That´s right, Free2 is front wheel drive ... mostly
