It's just catching the deals at the time. I myself opted for the Avons ZX7 19s which at the time was the best price for a decent tyre. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

I totally agree. Being new to Freelanders I was of course starting from a blank sheet but once I had identified what were recommended options it was a case of finding the best deal. The reason I posted this was because normally I would never think of Quick Fit as a place for great priced tyres so thought others might think the same. |

I'd avoid them. My local LR dealer told me they are the worse tyres they know of for getting stepped wear. |

That just goes to prove how much one persons opinion is as valid as the next! I did so much searching/research it is unreal and the Wrangler HPs came up time and time again as recommended by Freelander owners. Apparently they were even OEM fitment at one time. I have purchased them already and I have to say they are just as quiet as road tyres on my normal car, give a very comfortable ride with no more roll than the tyres that were on there before, and as for stepped wear we will see in many years time as I don't do a lot of miles really! |

I had Wrangler HPs on my first Freelander, nearly 40k on them before changing without any problems. When looking for a change on my current freelander on 19s l was looking at £150 a corner as compared to the Avons at £102. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

Wranglers were indeed fitted from factory for a period of time, being good year they are decent tyres I would think but ive never had any fitted.

You have to watch these special offers. I was looking at the Pirelli tyre on the kwik fit web page, the price at the time was £116.99 then they had a promotion of 25% off Pirelli tyres and price had actually gone up to £132.99. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

I agree with all the comments regarding Goodyear AW - had 2 sets that got VERY noisy on the rear of my 07 when down to 4mm with severe 'stepping' - and almost felt like driving with corners on the wheels!

I'm trying to find a deal on 19 inch Conti CrossContact UHP just now... for fully fitted, best price is a little over £600 with the average around £640... Unless anyone knows of a better price currently available?

I have just bought four from Black Circle. £603 fitted. With new winters and new summers now, hopefully I won't be buying tyres again for a good while |
