Advice on Tyres needed!

I've got the 215/65/16 on mine and they're fantastic tyres, original kit too

Sorry to jump in and highjack this thread but can somebody tell me if these tyres are good for my freelander. Halfords have then advertised at £138.19 each fitted at the moment.

Pirelli 225 55 R17 97H SCORP STRM+S

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I would think they would be OK as they are fairly road orientated but will still be fine for 'light' snow and mud - hence the M+S rating.

Seem to tick all the boxes.

Here's the Pirelli blurb:

The Scorpion STR is Pirelli's premium highway all season tyre developed to deliver the Stability, Traction and Ratings (STR) appropriate for today's light trucks by adapting their performance to the needs of crossover vehicles, 4x4s, SUVs and light duty pickup trucks. The Scorpion STR tyres are designed to combine a quiet and comfortable ride along with ease of handling and year-round traction, even in light snow.

The Scorpion STRs tread pattern features lateral grooves through the shoulder ribs and larger grooves between all of the independent tread blocks which reduces the risk of aquaplaning and delvers excellent wet traction. The internal construction features twin, high- tensile steel belts reinforced with polyamide to provide strength and durability on top of a two-ply polyester cord body that helps cushion the ride.

I would buy them without much reservation.

Cheers,

The wife is goinng for the Pirelli STRM jobbies as well

The reviews I found indicate very good tyre life, much better than the cheapo options, better than some of the quality options as well

Light snow capability will do me, if 4 wheel drive with traction control, can't get to places my Rover 75 managed in last year's snow (without traction control and on 'normal' tyres) then we have wasted our cash on the Freelander

Thanks lads, That sounds good enough for me just hope they're still the same price in April when I'm going to need to change all four corners and get rid of these two crap firestones I had put on a couple of months ago.
