Believe me, I'm quite pro Chinese, but their tyres are not up to scratch yet. The Koreans got there, and China will, but not yet, IMHO. Coopers are good.

think you might have answered your own question unless you live in a parallel universe where the higher the quality the lower the price
look at it a different way, would you want to be in front of the person with cheap tyres in the rain ?
thought not

Tyretraders.com (co.uk) have Nankang SP5 at £65 each +P&P.I've used them for over 20k miles on my TD4 auto. I've had no scares other than my own doing and they aren't bad on wet grass/shallow mud(up to 5-6"). There's also a winter tyre for £75. I can't fault them

you better read the reports(search) about them. they are a car tyre not a suv/lt tyre, will have cheap side walls and less plys on the tread side of the tyre. Buy cheap buy twice. 1 set of a brand name at will out last 2-3 sets of them. One review said the were deadly in rain, Piston heads I believe is where that was said

Nankang and Nexen/Roadstone seem to be the better of the budget tyres. Trouble is getting a choice on 17" wheels.

Someone has picked up a bargain on ebay, 4 black alloy wheels with Yokohama tyres that had done less than 1000 miles, £150.00, hope it's someone on here.

Not on a Freelander I trust? Really shouldn't have mismatched tyres as the same size in different brand or AT/Road etc can make a different rolling diameter which will knacker the IRD.

Well, he does seem rather happy with his purchase...
Like you say mate, lower mid range. I'm impressed with my Nankangs performance in everything I've asked of them and 20k miles is bloody good by any standards, they were brand new when I got the hippo. I've only driven Nexens on a Tigra, seemed pretty good on a titchy car with a foldy roof!
