My much-loved 2001 Freelander Mk1 TD4
I had 2 badly worn front tyres with 1-2mm thread at most on each tyre.
Just had one of the fronts replaced with a new one, sadly funds mean the other front worn tyre has to wait a couple o'weeks to payday
On the rear, one good tyre exists (5-4-5mm+) but other rear has unevenly worn middle tread (4-1.6-3mm).
On driving away with the new front tyre, after a few miles I now have a deep clunk noise when normally accelerating after letting off the gas for a bit, eg when approaching a red light. I can stop the clunk happening if I add gas very very slowly.
When the clunk does happen, it's as if a big heavy object is in the boot rolling forward and hitting behind my seat, so you feel it was well as hear it.
Anyone advise if the new single front tyre has caused a front-v-rear tyre diameter mis-balance that isn't a coincidence to the clunk here?
Appreciate any pointers as to remedy and guesstimated costs.
Cheers, 'Sox.
