Wales 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black

Quote from the handbook 'Do not swap tyres around the vehicle. Tyres bed in to the specific characteristics of each wheel position. Swapping them around may affect the vehicle's handling and traction'.
Also in the book 'Ideally, tryes should be replaced in set of four. If this is not possible, replace the tyres in pairs (front and rear).'
Make of that what you will.

Mine has done 20k and the wear on all four seems pretty even, so it looks as if i'll replace all four a the same time and start saving now!!

The handbook disagrees with the service schedule which swaps wheels to the opposite side of the same axle. Remember there are never problems, just new challenges
