I have a set of Nokian Weatherproofs on my FL2 - very happy with them.

I have Wranglers on my Freelander, I like them! I live in the Scottish Highlands and, to be honest, I really can't fault them. I'm due to replace the rear tyres in the next couple of months and I'll definitely be putting Wranglers on again. |

Any tyre will be less efficient as the tread depth reduces. I'm guessing that after 40K km tyres will be down to around 4mm tread depth or lower and will therefore be much less efficient than when new. It is no coincidence that in Germany, Austria and some other Countries the minimum legal tread depth is 4mm. |

I've had 2 sets of Wranglers under my FL2 and on both sets, once they hit around 3 to 4mm they became very slippy. Driving on damp tarmac felt like driving on ice, which made roundabouts fun but a little unnerving. Braking distance also starts to extend. I go through a set of tyres a year (due to distance) so I doubt it was an age issue, just wear.

IME, Wranglers do tend to get a bit noisy and misshapen as they near the end of their life.
