Hi to all
I am new to this site, having got a TD4 XS 6 weeks ago. Well please with it, having owned 3 Freelander 1's. No probs. to date!
Just a question about tyres. This was a constant question with the series 1's. Didn't like the look of the standard Goodyear Wranglers, - remember my 1st 'S' reg which wiped out the front Wranglers in 15K miles! Also I use the vehicle a lot on fields / tracks as part of my job and the goodyears are c p for grip. Previously had BF Goodridge AT's on 16inch rims which were fantastic in terms of grip and wear. However they don't make a correct profile tyre for the 17inch rims on present car. The only ones I could find on the internet were TOYO Open Country's, which the dealer fitted for me from new based on a trade-in for the standard tyres. Haven't needed to test them to extreme yet though as it has been relatively dry. They are quieter than BFG's, however tend to slide sideways abit more.
Does anyone else have experience with non factory fit tyres?
Been interesting reading through posts on the site, glad I didn't see the site before buying as all the realibility issues might have put me off, what is a fantastic car, Freelander has grown up at last!
Thanks for trick deactivating seatbelt bleeper, my dealer will be interested in this one, as they told me to get hold of another seatbelt clip without the belt and stick this in!!
