Yeah I think so too. It looks a lot more masculine.
Most importantly though it drives so much better.

I will warn people though it had had a fairly significant effect on the braking.
Bigger discs and callipers would be nice :/
 
More unsprung mass on those.... not that I want to start .....

Excuse my ignorance but I don't understand what you mean.
Could you explain?

--------edit----------

Don't worry I googled it.
From the driving I've done today I can report that it's a lot better on the road than it was previously so I'm not concerned about the weight of the new tyres.
I assume it will also make it a little better off road too.

Here is mine, beside another, but I only have 225/65R17 General Grabber AT on 17" evolution rims.


I was checking yours out earlier today. Your thread about you car is great.
How does yours perform offroad? I'm really itching to try mine out with a bit of greenlaning or something.

Thanks.

Did you Look at any of the videos?

It is great off-road. I don't do enough. The auto makes up for not having a low range box, and the lift kit and tyres have given me the best part of 70mm extra ground clearance over standard.

Last time I went off-road, the guys I were with said certain sections were difficult, but the Freelander just went straight up and round. Mine ticks all the boxes I need.
 
I'm looking to fit 235 75 16 or similar
Can't go too high so want wide lol.
Real inspiration thanks
 
No I didn't see the vids I'll go back and check them out.
I think a 2" lift is probably next on my list (and some spacers to help with wheelarch clearance and speed bumps)
I'll have to look up some places to try offroading near London...
 
If you fancy it we could look for some Kent lanes to do. I don't fancy trying on my own in case I get stuck!
 
I called a place today.. They have been closed for 9 years! (Thanks internet)
But I think we can find somewhere to get the hippos dirty in that area.
Mudmonsters has been mentioned as well as some other sites but all pay and play. I'm OK with that too.

Or we just get a bloody ordinance survey map and figure it out!
 
I have Kendra Kleva HP on mine. £220 for 4 fitted. Smooth on the road and pretty grippy whilst greenlaning which is about as off road as I go so all good.Just need to see how they wear now. I have nearly 5000 mile on them and there seems to be very little wear.
 
Kumho KL78. Size is 205/80/16. Also changed the spare wheel, think it had the original tyre on. Had to heat the lower bolt to get it off!

As my front tyres were worn on the inside due to tracking being out, I opted for a full set (including spare) of General Grabber AT 215/65R16.

Performed well on the very overgrown track (not driven in over 10 years & as it's a footpath with vehicular access to the woods I manage, the only clear bit would allow you to walk single file), without any problems.

I've been on a drive from Sussex to Rugby for a weekend & road noise at 70mph wasn't too bad, handling is great, not worked out the fuel consumption yet though, but will do in time. so far, I've done about 1000 miles on them since buying it in April & having the tyres fitted in May.
