My 57 FL2 Se has Contintal Contact 235/65/R17 108V M+S

I Need to look to replacing - should I get exact same tyres
or do you have any recommendations.. 09 Plate Rimini Red Freelander 2 HSE with Roofrails, Side Mouldings, Sidetubes and Privacy Glass

I had Continental Contacts and recently changed to Goodyear Wranglers which were slightly cheaper and in my view last longer. There are others on here who have said Contacts last longer than Wranglers so it comes down to personal preferrence and price.

I am just about to replace my front tyres with Goodyear Wranglers. They've lasted 39K miles and still more than 3mm left, so I will replace with exactly the same! Freelander 2 TD4 HSE auto Tonga Green/Alpaca

Has anyone tried Goodyear Wrangler AT/SA? They were new last year and they do then in 235 65 17. 1998 Feelander XDI Hardback - Gone

My tyres have about 3mm left and have done only 26k 09 Plate Rimini Red Freelander 2 HSE with Roofrails, Side Mouldings, Sidetubes and Privacy Glass

I also notice how the load rating of FL2 tyres seems to vary

Mine are 108V but some I have seen are 104v 09 Plate Rimini Red Freelander 2 HSE with Roofrails, Side Mouldings, Sidetubes and Privacy Glass

Goodyear Wranglers 235/60/18 M+S are 103V

My Wranglers are on 36000 miles - the front are on 3mm, back on 5mm. I'm going to stick with the brand because I've got a brand new one on the spare wheel, so I only have to buy three.

Interesting answer to your question is here -

https://www.freel2.com/gallery/albums/user...essure.pdf

Quote ’Note: FREELANDER 2 – tire load capacity depends on tire manufacturer.’

So it is 104 or 108 depending on manufacturer for 17 inch tyres. Land Rover use Continental rated at 108 or Goodyear rated at 104.

What happens if you choose a different manufacture? Or a Conti with 104? An excuse for refusing an insurance claim.

The PDF is for the American market, does the same apply in the UK?

Hmmmm...... I wonder if the 265\45\20 104Y tyres I ordered will blow up.....
