There you go glad to hear it. Are you planning on going off road or staying mainly on road ??? If it's mainly on road I would recommend Pirelli Scorpion STR's as I don't use mine for off road I can't recommend any off road tyres but just remember the more chunky tyres you run on the more road noise you are going to get.

Looking at the stats those tyres have not got a good record. Poor fuel economy, bad road grip, and at 73db very noisey. I think it would be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire with these on.

yeah i couldnt believe it mate really didnt think it would cause all that noise just from the prop going back on. witch craft if you ask me haha. i even took it to a relatives garage and he couldnt find it either. ill give him a ring in the morning to let him know what is was.
i do a bit of off roading as i use it for lamping when out with the dogs, nothing too serious was thinking of going greenlaning aswell so wanted something decent, a tidy all terrain would suite me. ive read good things about the infinitys but just wanted to know if anyone has had the issue with the noise, i dont mind road noise but the vibrating thats there now is seriously a pain in the arse haha. thanks for your help any mate i do apprecitate it.

No problem glad to help. To be honest thou I don't think you are going to solve the problem with the Infinity tyres so if you can put up with the vibrating and noise I would leave the tyres on you have on now. at least you know where it's all coming from and it will save you a few quid as well.

Do you think any all terrain would solve the problem or would it have to be a road biased tire to get rid of the noise

I've got no experience of any all terrain tyres so can't really answer that one but what I would do is post the question in another new thread and let all the off road boys come back with an answer. There must be a tyre out there somewhere but at a premium I should imagine.
The tyres I had on were road biased tyres and they gave me the same problem as you so it's not only all terrain tyres that cause the problem. I did a lot of research on the forum and found out that there are only a certain number of "ROAD" tyres that are suitable for the freelander

The more aggressive the tyre, the more road noise. I had GG AT2's on mine and the increase was noticeable. Particularly when over 40K miles, as the started to sawtooth

Infinity are a good tire in my opinion.
I have had them on for over 2 years.
Great in snow.
Fine on the road(if you don`t off road or tow or live where it snows, why buy a 4x4)
Ok in the wet
MPG 32 mpg TD4
No vibration.
The only problem I have had is leakage around the rim on one tire.This is probably residue from the Scorpions it had on before,which I would not fit again
after trying the Infinitys.
