Hi all been offered 2 new tyes 195 R 15 c 106/104r for my freelander the guy said there not 4x4 tyres there steel radials can I put them on any way not going off road?
Hi adamikey,
I would advise against buying those tyres - they are most unsuitable for a Freelander.
Not going off-road is nothing to do with it.
They are heavy duty commercial tyres designed for an axle load of up to 1.9 tonnes - ideal for a Transit or Sprinter pick-up style of truck, with twin rear tyres. My 2.8 tonne gross Sprinter van does not even have have tyres that strong.
You do not absolutely need to have 4X4 tyres - car tyres will do at a push - but not commercial tyres.

Some really good freds here about tyres, selecting the right ones is essential to the health of your transmission. Also, if you haven't got a thick skin I suggest you grow one fast. Landyzone has the best knowlege but also the best banter, you best get used to it

you do not have to put all four new ones on at once as long as you put the newer ones on the back

I keep saying that but no one listens!!! Should say bigger ones on the back tho cos if a different brand they may actually be smaller than the existing part worns! Just need to stand em side by side to figure it out
