Hi All
It may and is probably just me, but I do get a lot of 'tyre roar' on my 02 Freelander TD4 3 Door?

I have good tyres (Kumho AT 21575/15's) all in good condition, balanced and tracked.
It does drift slightly left, but otherwise seems OK, but the Steering does seem to have got heavier, my other half drove it and she noticed it?
ARB Drop links replaced, and had my local Land Rover guys to check and they said they couldn't find anything, sailed through the MOT but we all know that even the smallest amount of give can cause issues

Also ride quality has got worse, I feel every bit of rough road, pot holes through the cars seat, pedals and steering wheel?

Does have tendency to tramline, but only on the left side?

I think in terms of the inner lower wishbone bushes, lower joing, top strut bushes (rubbers)
Do you think these will improve trye roar and or improve steering/ride quality?

So I suppose what I am saying what is the best order to start looking at

Thanks to all in advance.... :bounce:

Have you made sure the tyre pressures are OK? LR state they should be at 30 PSI - but that's the standard tyres. The ATs may require being pumped to something different - maybe check with a Kumho supplier. Mine for example are GT Radials Max Milers and they say to pump them to 40 PSI, which is what I run at.

mines the same, im going to try some different tyres as i cant find any issues with the vehicles mechanics that would cause it.

Kuhmo tyres are often noisy anyway. The more aggressive the tyre tread the noisier they get as well.

My pirelli scorpion a/s are noisier than the goodyear wrangler m+s I used to have on.

Mine runs on tarmac tyres, the sisters on AT's.
Mines like a church mouse, the sisters sounds like a jet taking off!

Hello...Your right i have Kuhmo tyres A/T & they rumble bad on the open tarmac....Still not sure what to replace them with next as i do alot of on road mileage with the off-road track lanes once a month

I've Yokohama ATs they aren't really any more noisy than the standard Wranglers I replaced them with.
One check you can do is look for sawtoothing on the tyres, particularly the front. If evident then swap the fronts, left to right and right to left.
