I had them on my old Deli, and they were MUCH better than the AT2 Grabbers that were on there. The old AT2s were nearly new but mismatched sizes, so I flogged them on. The new grabbers were great on wet grass, mud, gravelly tracks and snow/ice as well as all round on the road. A very good tyre IMO.

Yes, Grabber AT's now fitted to both my Freelanders. Got 215/65/16's fitted to my rally one, and 225/70/15's to my silver one to replace the 205/80/16 aggressive tread tyres.
Fantastic tyres. Drives like I'm on rails and can go round islands when it's wet without the Freelander wanting to go straight on.

Morning Folks,
Just joined your site (I'm still trying to process all the info bouncing around!) and currently drumming my fingers waiting for my HSE to turn up!
Quick question; I was told by the dealer that the tyres supplied will be "whatever they are fitting at the time" so not a very exact response! Anyone know what boots they are currently fitting? If so, are they up to par on snowy roads?
Cheers,
LD

Welcome along mate. Not really the right place to introduce yourself, should be done in the intro section. Dealer put NEXEN on my FL2, I'd never heard of them so got rid as soon as I had the money for a different set. You'll get many different opinions as what tyres to fit if you decided to change them.

It all depends on what they A) get the most value for money prices on and B) what the tyre suppliers have in stock. They'll fit anything if you ask them to, and pay any difference if there is any

I hadn't even realised the last comment was 3 months ago, it came up in bold, someone must've voted or something for it to pop up! Nevermind

General gt at2. Pretty good not to much road noise. And quite aggressive for all terrain . Very happy but £100 quid a piece.

Front : Goodyear Wranglers @ 30 PSI
Rear : GT Radial Max Milers @ 40 PSI
Comfy ride, but don't try this combo at home children !!
Spare : Not sure what make, but very tasty....

The GT Radial Max Milers are more van tyres than for cars. The tyre supplier said to keep them up at 40 PSI. I don't have to worry about 4WD, its running with a castrated IRD at the mo.
As the Goodyear importer discontinued the Wranglers here in NZ 6 months after 2 brand spanking ones went on the car, and running it 2WD, I just put a cheap pair (and as they're van tyres presumably hard wearing) on the back - but they seam to be working OK and giving a good ride - well for driver anyway, not so sure the dog in the boot has such a comfortable ride

Van tyres are high pressure befit the weight. I still wouldn't run them that high myself. But each to thrir own I guess.
The pressures were reduced on the 195 80. 15. Tyres because of unusual wear on the wranglers mostly. I believe the later bigger wheels and changed IRS ratio cured the issues so the pressures were increased again.

Mostly Michelin Latitude but unfortunately they're not symmetric. (Only had the car a week) but now nervous what damage may have been done to VCU etc.
Remove the propshaft asap.
